Captain Greg and volunteers of Learn 2 Fish With Us shared their passion for fishing with Green Bay Wounded Warriors and Cub Scouts.  The morning of May 15^th started out with the families learning the skills and equipment needed to begin fishing through Captain Greg’s Fishing Basics seminar, which was held at DeGrand’s in Denmark, Wisconsin.  Fishing Basics teaches; safety while fishing, spin cast and spinning fishing combos, how to cast, different fishing presentations, fish identification, knots, live and artificial bait, aquatic invasive species, keeping a fishing log and so much more.  After the Fishing Basics seminar, families traveled to a pond located in Green Bay, Wisconsin.  Fishing started out slow, but all of a sudden we heard a drag squealing and the fight was on for Elizabeth and her Shakespeare fishing combo. 

After a long battle the fish was cradled by Captain Greg.  Elizabeth said ‘this was her first fish ever and that it is huge!! I will never forget this day’.  Besides Elizabeth, many memories were made as ten other youth caught their first fish!!  Bluegills and Bass made up the catches.  What Captain Greg liked about the pond they fished, was that only youth sixteen under could fish it.  The restrictions for the pond also allowed selective harvest for the youth where they could keep one bass and seven bluegills, this so helps protects the resource for the youth!!

Each youth was excited as they received a fishing combo and NPAA Future Pro shirt thanks to the National Professional Anglers Association. 

Captain Greg and volunteers of Learn 2 Fish With Us shared their passion for fishing with the cub scouts of Oshkosh.  The fishing clinic took place the evening of May 13^th at Winnebago County Park located in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.  It was the perfect night to host the fishing clinic as it was sunny and warm, maybe even the best evening of 2021!!

The evening started out with the scouts learning the skills and equipment needed to begin fishing through Captain Greg’s Fishing Basics seminar.  Fishing Basics teaches; safety while fishing, spin cast and spinning fishing combos, how to cast, different fishing presentations, fish identification, knots, live and artificial bait, aquatic invasive species, keeping a fishing log and so much more.  After the Fishing Basics seminar, scouts walked to the pond which was a catch and release.  Due to this being a catch and release pond, it did not take long for the scouts to start catching fish!!  Scouts caught Largemouth Bass, Bluegill, Warmouth and Crappies!!  So many scouts look forward to coming back fishing!!  Captain Greg would love to see more fishing locations that are catch and release to allow youth and families to be able to catch fish!!

Each youth was excited as they received a fishing combo thanks to the National Professional Anglers Association.  Learn 2 Fish With Us provided fishing tackle and a Shakespeare My Fishing Journal to each of the scouts.
