I see many people on social media in local Lufkin forums talking about needing things for kids to do. The problem is they are attacking the problem all wrong.

They are thinking about things available in urban areas that aren't here. All those things in an urban area are made because there is no room in a large city to explore and be outdoors.

Turn your kid into a lover of the outdoors. You could turn off their devices, and use the savings to buy fishing gear.

It's the PERFECT hobby for any kid in Deep East Texas, and the rest of the family benefits too. Now you need a spot to fish.
