Got some time with my son in the canoe! I caught 3 dinks while he mostly giggled. Hes getting better at casting but still gets bored and would rather play in the water with the minnow net. Its adorable I love it.
In my experience, kids don't enjoy fishing, the enjoy catching!
Hopefully, he will be out with you one of these times when the LMB, or BG, or tilapia are hitting almost every cast! THEN he will become a fisherman.
My best "quality time" with my father while growing up included a huge chunk of time fishing together.
