Hello! My name is John Paxton and this is my blog, FishingFather! In it, you will find fishing tips by a parent, for parents.  My goal is to help you acquire the knowledge and skills you need to take your kids fishing successfully and start creating cherished memories on the water.

Whether you want to know the reasons to take your kids fishing, or are trying to learn the skills you need to make your trip stress-free, you can find it here!

Taking a kid fishing for the first time can be overwhelming, but I’ll help make your time successful.  I have an articles that discuss how to introduce fishing to children of various ages, as well as what kind of rods you should get them throughout their life.

Safety is also an important goal of this website.  While fishing is a great way to spend time with your children, it’s only fun as long as it’s safe.  Check out my article on fishing safely with children, and also enjoy an article about some stupid mistakes I’ve made so you don’t make them too!

I hope you enjoy your time here.  If you found the website useful, don’t forget about my book! It too is filled with great tips to help you make wonderful memories with your family!

Thanks,

John Paxton
