That's really great you still take your son out fishing.
I don't know if I would have gotten into fishing if my father didn't introduce me to fishing in the local duck pond when I was little.

Got to the bait shop and Lori asked me who I had in tow with me today, I said my son. We got into a conversation about how the youth today are just not into fishing. Lori went on to say that even the children of the hard core Polish- Eastern European are not even into the sport. It's depressing when you think about it.

Anglers are a rare breed. There's nine million people living in New Jersey, but little more than 130,000 fishing licenses sold. Even if you consider there's a lot of people without licenses, that's still less than 1-in-50 people.
I would be hesitant to say that the younger generation doesn't fish. I see quite a few young-adults and teenagers fishing.
Maybe they are not seeing younger people in the bait-shop because they are buying their lures and fishing with those.
