The iKidsFishing Show came about when my wife, children, and I were watching fishing shows on TV. We realized there wasn't a fishing show about Kids and how easy and affordable it is to take Kids fishing. We decided to make a Kids’ Fishing Show here in Western New York State on a glacier-made lake known as Lake Chautauqua. We were able to utilize our own family's experience fishing and living on this lake for the past 45 years. Over these years we worked and added lands up along the way including We Wan Chu Cottages, a cottage & boat rental resort. Our video experiences include, creating, "Milt the Talking Musky©”, a pre-school - 2nd Grade Sight Word Learning Tool teaching kids 86 Sight Words in a four minute karaoke kind of sing along song, www.MiltTheTalkingMusky.com  . Through music and video learning retention is higher in young school children. Milt has had success with beginning readers including an Autistic six-year-old boy.  Following a time in which the boy was engaged watching Milt, he attempted speech for the first time ever.

The iKidsFishing Show will be teaching you and your Kids Fishing using the “K.I.S.S.” it method, Keep It Safe & Simple and everyone will have a positive experience. From everyone wearing a life jacket to using basic fishing tackle & bait. They’ll show you how to find public fishing lands or docks, points, parks, and harbors and using simple bait like worms, minnows, or artificial rubber looking minnows and worms. Jenna (10) will be leading her brother Justin (8) and sister Jessica (4) along with their friends on the iKidsFishing adventure. Jenna also takes eight of her family & friends all 12 years old or younger on a 25 foot Pontoon Fishing Trip without an adult onboard. In New York State a 10 year old that has passed an approved safe boater’s course, can operate a motor boat without an adult onboard.  Way too much Fishing Fun!  Watch with your kids and see the excitement and fun that iKidsFishing can bring to your home and your family. Enjoy…  Available on DVD and soon on an App for the mobile market.

iKidsFishing.com is a Kids' Fishing Web Site where you can upload pictures of a Kid (any age) with their Fish and sorted by age or species. It will give Kids around the world a chance to compare and show off their Fish caught with other Kids the same age or younger or older. Sure to be a "Keeper" for generations and vacations to come and one that is Free.

Milt The Talking Musky is a pre-school through second grade Sight Word learning tool utilizing video and music in teaching 86 sight words in a sing along and read along format.Setting lessons to music in combination with video is proven to increase learning retention in young children. Milt has had success with beginning readers including an Autistic six-year-old boy. Following a time in which the boy was engaged watching Milt, he attempted speech for the first time. The authors, Peter and Kathy Wiemer, believes it had to do with the mesmerizing underwater aquarium setting and Milt’s song which sparked something within the boy.

Milt The Talking Musky was created by the Wiemer’s in 2005 when their six year old daughter, Jenna, was having difficulty learning sight words at school. Roger Hooven, a musician from the Buffalo area and patron at We Wan Chu Cottages lent hisartistic expertise to the project by co-writing the script and singing for the Milt The Talking Musky DVD. Roger Westley from Clymer, NY, contributed original drawings and co-wrote the content for the 40-page coloring book which is a pdf file on the DVD and can be printed from one's own printer. Within the coloring book’s pages are 228 sight words woven though the storyline so children can read, color and learn 228 sight words while coloring. Using Milt engages several of the senses in teaching these sight words: visually seeing the words on the screen and printed in the coloring book, auditory hearing of the sight words spoken and sung, and touch through coloring while reading, coloring and learning.

Milt The Talking Musky’s DVD is available for purchase online for $ 15 + postage & handling.
