Off Topic: Wanting to Learn how to Fish

Hi. I am new to fishing and new to the boards. What do you recommend a beginner who is interested in learning to fish do when he doesn't really have anyone to teach him? My father was a fisherman and unfortunately I never went with fishing with him and I to this day regret that I didn't. Monday will be seven years that my father passed away and I found his fishing pole and fishing tackle box and I remembered how much I would have liked to have gone fishing with him. I have two young boys and a young daughter and I think fishing would be a great way for us to bond but I do not know how to fish. How do you recommend that I pick up the sport and what would be the best day for me to learn the sport of fishing? It would be a great way for me to further improve my relationship with my children.

I also posted this in the questions section but I think it should have gone here first, sorry.
