any tips for fishing with my little one

[UphillHabit]

I'm thinking of taking my 5-year-old out for our first fishing trip. I've seen those kids' fishing rods at the store, and they look pretty simple. Is that a decent option for starting out? I'm not super familiar with fishing, but I found a nice spot nearby that seems perfect. Just looking for any advice on what to use or how to make it fun for my kid. Any stories from your first time out would be great too!
