Joseph Cianciotto believes in his heart that relationships are meant to be valued. Sadly, in today’s world, where everything moves so fast, far too many people lose sight of time. Some parents do not see the importance of a family bonding time and end up regretting how they did not see their children growing up. Traditional family activities are a must to nurture a stronger relationship between members. These are the moments that children cherish until they grow older.

  Fishing, Joseph Cianciotto mentions, is a great outdoor activity if you want uninterrupted bonding time with your family. Going out in the waters gives you and your family limited access to connectivity. Yes, you can put down your phone and ignore all those email notifications. 

Below, Joseph Cianciotto shares a few tips to make your fishing trip a memorable one.

•   If you’re out to fish in a bigger body of water, find the right boat for your trip. Look for a vessel that can accommodate all your family members with a trusted captain to take the wheel.

• If it’s your children’s first time fishing, take advantage of their curiosity and let them take the lead. Teach them the basics, and let them take charge after they’ve mastered the skill.

• Make each catch a collective effort. Then, it’s something your children will talk about when they get home from the trip.

• After you’ve caught enough trout, cook with your family. Teach your children a simple recipe or have them think about a new dish.
