My family loves to spend the weekends outdoors, whether it be in our pool, at the beach or one of the many lakes around us fishing. It’s a great relaxing family time that I will treasure forever and I’m sure the kids will create fond memories of their own that they will share with their children for years to come.
My boys always fished, ever since they were little tikes, but my daughter just recently discovered the fun of fishing. I think for her it’s not so much the fishing but to hang out with her daddy and her brothers and have their undivided attention in getting help with her hooks and the excitement when a fish catches.
Our Fishing pole of choice has always been Shakespeare Catch More fishing combo, they are very affordable, come pre-spooled with Stren fishing line and includes a fishing kit equipped with hooks, bait and Stren fishing line is made in the USA (Spirit Lake, IA). I love American Made products and love to support the companies as much as I can and this is an easy way. We love fishing they have the fishing pole and lines, win win for all. Total match made in heaven.
My kids get excited when I tell them we are off to the lake or the ocean and they all run and grab their fishing gear. Never do I hear “But Mom I want to watch XYZ on TV can we go another day?”. Rain or shine my kids love to head out no matter when. We spend all day at the lake yesterday celebrating 4th of July with our Shakespeare Catch More Fish Combos and the kids had a blast.
I think we got there at 7 in the morning and when a storm rolled in around 7pm and I told them to pack up I got a grumpy face telling me now. Guess what, at 7 am this morning the kids were dressed (even the 16 yo.) and fishing poles in hand and guess where I’m typing this post from? Yup, the lake while the kids fish. Hubby couldn’t be more happy, he finally found fishing buddies that companion him anytime he wants to go.
We love to explore our outdoors and finding new fishing spots is a new hobby for the entire family. I just love it and you know what, best part… NO CELL PHONES they are all in the car, we don’t wanna shy off the fish. Have you ever seen your kids without a cell phone? I’m telling you, picking up a few of these Shakespeare Catch More Fish Combos will do the trick, I guarantee it. The Shakespeare Catch More Fish Combos are great, they come with everything you need to get started. They make great gifts, too. Very affordable, can be picked up at many local stores and you are ready to reel in the big one.
Shakespeare Catch More Fish Combos come in many different sizes for your youth fisherman, Lake/Pond to salt water fishing and even a lady in pink fishing pole combo is available. I love my pink fishing rod and so does my daughter, she kept sneaking off with mine. My Teen loved the Youth rod, he said it was very easy to handle, reel in and perfect for a quick run to the lake, everything is ready to go and neatly stored in a small plastic tub, he was ecstatic to say the least.
It was a day of fun and we sure did #FishingForMemories and can’t wait to do it many more times over the summer while the kids are out of school,. Very affordable family time that can’t be beat. For me besides hanging out with the family, creating wonderful memories was that my daughter finally was quiet! She usually talks a mile a minute and never stops from the moment she wakes up till bedtime, but at the lake… NOT one sound was heard besides “Oh did you see the fish jump, more bait daddy, more bait… hurry”. I love it.
What better way to create memories than with fishing? Whether you’re a novice, or an expert, fishing is fun for the whole family! So turn the TV off, load up the car, drive to a fishing destination, and go #FishinForMemories with Shakespeare and Stren!

My favorite memory of my dad is going fishing with him as a young child. While fishing with dad, we spent many hours talking about Daddy’s childhood and my dreams for the future. We didn’t catch many fish, but my memories are a much greater treasure than any mess of fish. We didn’t get to spend much time together when I got older, but I used to absolutely love going fishing with him. I love my daddy so much 🙂

I use to fish with my grandpa as a child, loved it, great way to bond. I Haven’t been fishing in years though, would be nice to get my kids out on the lake and try this for the summer. Great way to create new memories and explore something new with them.

Nice fishing gear! We have been going fishing for years. We have a nice tackle box, fishing poles and other gear to get us going. We do not have a boat, so we rent one and go out on the Lake to fish. Fishing is a fun way to spend time with the family!

My dad used to take me out fishing when I was a little girl. Those are memories I will cherish forever!
