Fishing 101: Fishing for a Hobby
If you've ever wanted to learn how to fish, here's your chance. We are offering you the following:
* all the equipment you'll need to get started shore fishing
* basic shore fishing techniques - live bait and casting
* knot tying instructions
* fish identification and fish cleaning
* locations of some area shore fishing places
Here's what we need from you:
* fill out the application sheet for your location
* a commitment from the adults to continue to take their kids fishing
* attend the fishing classes on the scheduled day
It's as easy as that. We simply ask the kids to start fishing and we ask the parents to fish with their kids. If there is a catch, here it is - parents must attend the classes with their kids. We want to hook the parents on fishing as well as the kids. We've found that if the parents aren't at the classes, they are far less likely to go fishing after the class.

The class was a lot of fun. The fishing was slow, but the enthusiasm made up for it.
