Have an 8-year old that’s ready for some catching and mama needs filets!

I do exactly this with my kids (they're teenagers now) and fish for redfish/drum/sheepshead. If I am feeling saucy we may go try to target trout. But the redfish is old school cork fishing. And it is almost guaranteed to be successful. You will end up with a beautiful box of fish and some tasty fillets. And the kid will stay busy all morning.

I actually enjoy the redfish fishing almost as much as the trout. Nothing beats a great trout bite. But it's a gut punch to run 100 miles round trip and end up with three fish.
