A fishing expedition with party bag fillers for an exciting birthday

If you are a keen fisherman and a father then it is quite likely that if you have a son, you have thought about sharing your passion for fishing with him at some time. It might be that he is not old enough yet but when he is, a trip on his birthday would make a great introduction to the sport and be something he can enjoy with his friends. Presenting all the guests with a small bag, filled with cheap gifts, is an inexpensive way to get the day off to a good start and will give all your son’s friends something to remember the day by. There are lots of things you can choose from when buying toys to fill the bags but perhaps a nautical theme would be suitable for a fishing trip. It is probably worth buying or borrowing some cheap rods too so that none of your best equipment gets damaged when the boys are learning how to fish.

nce your son is more capable it will be a treat for him to try fishing with good quality tackle for the first time. The quality of the presents that you use to fill your bags with is not all that important as they are basically just a way of thanking people for coming to the celebration. It is quite easy to find suitable items for sale on the internet and if you shop around then it will turn out to be relatively cheap to buy party bag fillers. It could be a good idea to hand out the bags before you set off for your fishing expedition so they do not get lost. In order to teach a group of kids how to fish you will need their complete attention too so the less distractions there are the easier it will be.

For a first attempt, some kind of coarse fishing at a local river is probably the best choice. Of course, if the bags contain any gifts that are meant to be used on the trip, such as bait for example, then you can wait until you are at the riverbank before handing them out. Although this might sound like a practical present for the guests, it may be better to stick with something more normal such as small toys, which they are sure to appreciate. If you cannot buy or borrow enough fishing tackle for the trip then hiring some could be a viable alternative, depending on your location. It may even be possible to find someone that organises such trips and takes care of all the details for you. If this is the case they should have enough equipment for everybody. If you want to buy presents for the guests that fit in with the fishing theme, you will need to be sure of the numbers attending so that the right amount of gifts can be ordered. If you go for more generic presents, they can be used at a later date.
