This past weekend Learn 2 Fish With Us was at the Lil Angler event where they assisted families during the fishing part of the event.  The event was held in Kaukauna and had over 175 youth attend the event.  Angler Educator Greg Karch worked with the families on casting, tying knots, bait hooks, fish identification and more.  Greg worked with many families that were fishing for the very first time.  The kids were so excited to see Greg and talk about the fish they caught the past year.  Hannah was so excited to see Greg as she wrote a story about her dad and fishing.  It was so awesome to see the book.  I will work on posting on the website within the next couple of days.

This past Friday, Learn 2 Fish With Us educated the fifth graders at Hawley Environmental School which is located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  The kids were excited to learn about fishing as they were going on a camping trip the following week and were going to fish.  The kids were taught all the fishing basics from safety, fishing combo’s, fishing presentations, casting, fish identification, parts of a fish, bait, knots, Clean Drain Dry message, catch and release and many things on the environment.  After the Fishing Basics seminar the school was notified that they would be receive fifty fishing combos.  Learn 2 Fish With Us volunteers worked with the kids to rig the fishing combos so they could fish with them at camp.  Greg then worked with the kids to practice casting with the fishing combo’s.  The fifth graders are all excited to go fishing now that they know more about fishing.

This past Friday, Learn 2 Fish With Us educated the third graders at Woodland Elementary which is located in Kimberly, Wisconsin.  The 3rd graders were excited to learn about the Fishing Basics and had plenty of questions during the fishing clinic.  The 3rd graders were also excited as many of them got to work with the Learn 2 Fish With Us Angler Educators on the fishing skills.  Angler Educator Greg Karch let the kids know that they would receive a nice prize if they passed a fishing exam.  At the end of the fishing clinic the kids asked about the exam.  Greg said that he was just kidding and that every youth would get a Fishing Pro Shirt just like his.  They were excited and many youth asked Greg to sign their shirts.  Greg had writers cramp once he was done signing shirts.

This past Friday, Learn 2 Fish With Us educated the third graders at Westside Elementary which is located in Kimberly, Wisconsin.  The 3rd graders were so excited to learn everything needed to go fishing and were engaged throughout the whole seminar.  Many of the youth worked with the angler educators to do the hands on activities.  The kids said Westside is the Best side to be!!!!  When asked if they learned anything they sais YES!!!!!!  Thank you Westside 3rd graders for a great time, I will never for get the time I had with you.  Angler Educator Greg Karch.  Check out the pictures!!!

This past weekend Learn 2 Fish With Us Angler Educator Greg Karch hosted four Fishing Basics seminars during the Madison Fishing Expo.  The seminars were at 10 AM and 2 PM on Saturday and Sunday and they were well attended.  The first seminar had over two hundred people that attended, and for all four we had over five hundred people.  That is how we are going to grow the sport of fishing.  Every youth went home with a fishing combo or Future Pro shirt compliments of the NPAA.  Greg’s wrist is still sore from signing a lot of shirts for the youth.  Greg said it was amazing how many people came up to him and said the seminar was one of the best they attended and I even learned something!!!   Learn 2 Fish With Us mission statement is ‘Grow the sport of fishing by educating and inspiring beginner and experienced anglers!!  Check out all the great pictures along with how interested the kids are on what they are being taught!!!

This past weekend Learn 2 Fish With Us was at the Northeast Sport Fishin Show and educated youth and adults on Fishing.  Learn 2 Fish With Us had a booth that displayed all the fishing educational props that are used in the Fishing Basics seminar along with the walleye that Greg caught that went over 13 pounds.  I think the kids liked that they could check out and play with all the different types of bait.  The public was also able to check out pictures from past fishing events.  Adults asking fishing related questions also learned a lot.  Greg display Off Shore Tackle Company’s product that he use while trolling and answered many questions that the anglers had.  At 2:30 PM Greg presented his Fishing Basics seminar to a packed house and after the seminar each youth went home with a spin cast fishing combo thanks to Critters.

This past Sunday was Kid’s Day at the Milwaukee Musky Show and Learn 2 Fish With Us was there.  It was cold outside but that did not stop the families from attending the show.  At 9:30 AM, Certified Angler Educator, Greg Karch, with Learn 2 Fish With Us kicked off his Fishing Basics seminar which taught youth and families everything needed to start fishing.  After the seminar each youth received a Shakespeare Fishing Combo or a Future Pro Shirt thanks to the National Professional Anglers Association (NPAA).  This weekend I will be at the Northeast Wisconsin Fishing show and will do my Fishing Basics seminar at 2:30 PM on Sunday the 22nd.
