I've had similar experiences. My boy LIVES to fish. He's autistic, and though he's 13, still will not touch a fish or bait. He gets crazy ideas about how to get the fish to bite, that have frustrated me to no end. What I had finally come to realize is that when I take him fishing, it is about him, and I shouldn't expect to do any real fishing. I've apologized on a few occasions for being "cranky ". I'm learning!
