“You Kids Get Outside… And Stay Outside!” With Rodney Rogers

What a fun (and informative) Episode 16 of the Fish Strong Podcast this week!

Luke and I had guest Rodney Rogers (from Rodney Rogers Outdoors) on the show to discuss all of the benefits and reasons that kids need to be outside more… in particular, outside fishing.

I won’t ruin it for you, but his tag line on his website says it all…

“You Kids Get Outside… And Stay!”

How many of you remember your mom or dad saying that to you?

I sure as heck do.

Basically, the rules of the house were as follows…

If it was not raining and it was before dinner, then my brother and I were outside. No questions asked.

For Rodney, it was staying outside until the street lights came on when growing up.

But today’s kids (the majority of them, certainly not all of them) aren’t spending the same amount of time outside that we did growing up. And it’s a huge problem!

In this latest podcast, we discuss many of the issues that kids are having along with the experiences they are missing out on by not being outside, being exposed to new things, and fishing.

Rodney’s message to kids and parents:

• Keep it safe
• Keep it legal
• Give me someplace fun to go
