Took the kids out yesterday fishing with worm, bobber and small sinker.
We only got 2 small bites and 0 fish caught. What do people generally
use when fishing from the shore. We are fishing in a burb of Chicago. We
could see doem fishing jumping in the middle of the lake but cannot cast
that far.

Footnote: Be sure and have the kids wear a life jacket if you are
fishing a shore line with steep banks...and always on the piers! In fact
it's not a bad idea to wear them anytime the kids are near the water,
and the excitement of hooking a fish might make them less cautious!
