Captain Greg, Certified Angler Educator of Learn 2 Fish With Us and NPAA member #138 along with Karen Karch NPAA member #121 hosted two seminars during the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Sport Show, and did they pack the seminar room!!
The first seminar, ‘Fishing Basics’, was held on Saturday, March 9th. ‘Fishing Basics’ educated youth, families and adults to all the skills and equipment needed to begin fishing. Topics include; safety while fishing, spin cast and spinning fishing combos, casting safely and accurately, basic fishing presentations, knots, fish identification, parts of a fish, live and artificial bait and aquatic invasive species and so much more.
The second seminar, ‘Beyond The Basics’ was held on Sunday, March 10th to another full house!! ‘Beyond The Basics’ seminar is built upon the ‘Fishing Basic’ skills and equipment and educates attendees on: bait caster and line counter reels, jigs and plastics, crankbaits, crawler harnesses, jigging and trolling presentations, how a graph works, maps, filleting a fish and cooking fish.
Thanks to the Future Angler Foundation and Learn 2 Fish With Us sponsors, youth attending the seminars received many of these great fishing items from a Shakespeare fishing combo, mini tackle box with tackle, NPAA Future Pro Shirt, along with a fishing educational book.
