What an awesome day it was at Peninsula State Park located in Door County, Wisconsin!!! It was sunny, in the eighties and did I say the fish were biting!! The day started at 10:45 AM when Fishing Pro Greg Karch presented his Fishing Basics seminar. The families were so excited to learn all the skills need to start fishing. The kids were eager to volunteer to learn the new skills as when Greg would ask for volunteers the hands were quickly raised.
Once the seminar was over the kids practiced casting. Backyard Bass were being used so a youth would know when they had a good cast as they would catch a Backyard Bass. Once every youth practiced casting for a couple times is was time to go fishing. They all walked down to the fishing pier where Learn 2 Fish With Us had fishing equipment for the families to use along with bait from The Reel Shot. Almost every youth caught a fish thanks to the gobies that were hanging around the shallows. It was amazing as many of the families wanted to continue to fish but it was time to head back for the door prizes!!!
All the youth received a door prize and they were excited. From Plano’s Kevin Van Dam tackle boxes to Shakespeare’s fishing combo and NPAA’s Future Pro shirts the youth were excited about their prizes. The youth that choose the Future Pro shirts had Greg sign them.
What a great day to teach families about fishing!!!!
