Find a pond or local lake full of fish, I found a lake packed with stunned fish that maxed out around 10 inches, but there were 100's of them, when I taught me girlfriend to fish. I started her off with the small super flukes, so they were weedless, and she was able to learn to cast, work the bait, set the hook, all by herself. Also she was able to get constant bites and catch tons of fish her first time out, now she's addicted Beginners care more about constant action and quantity then quality.
