Fishing for Memories: A Timeless Tradition

Fishing creates lifelong memories for families, a tradition passed down through generations.

The Thomas family's Good Friday fishing trip is a perfect example of this tradition.

Cord Gerth, Rusty Thomas's oldest grandson, was the first to experience the joy of reeling in a fish.

The family's trip typically begins with a trip to a spot near St. George, where they spend several hours fishing for bream and bass.

The trip is a fun and relaxing way for the family to spend time together and learn about the outdoors.

The highlight of the trip is the excitement of catching a fish, and children love trying their hand at fishing.

The Thomas family uses a variety of lures, including crickets, to catch the fish.

Maddy Thomas caught her first fish on the trip, and it was a moment she'll never forget.

Organizations and events offer fishing opportunities for young people, such as the SC Department of Natural Resources and Hampton Wildlife Fund's "A Marvel-Ous Youth Fishing Rodeo".

Fishing is a great way to spend time with family and friends, and it's a tradition worth passing down to future generations.
