About Abigail Johnson
Hi there! I’m Abigail Johnson, just your everyday mom who’s hooked on fishing—and on making memories with my kids. After my husband and I introduced our little ones to the magic of angling, it quickly became a family tradition. I love writing about the ups, downs, and laugh-out-loud moments that come with wrangling little fishermen (and sometimes, the occasional fish!). My goal is to help more parents feel confident about grabbing a rod, heading outdoors, and building stronger connections with their kids, one fishing trip at a time. Whether you’re seasoned or a total beginner, I’m here to share practical tips, honest stories, and a few giggles to help your own family fishing adventures.
