How you fish and not catch

My dad always says it's called fishing not catching, but it's always more fun when yi catch something. We were using power bait, but I knew we probably needed worms. Tearing worms apart and shoving a hook through them is beyond my capabilities right now. I may get there some day, but for now reaching into the bum smelling power bait is a big enough feat for me. We didn't catch anything, but the kids had fun casting and reeling in. Practice makes perfect.
