Summer has arrived! This past week I shift gears as I run school of fish kids fishing camp.
School of fish is designed to teach youth anglers the fundamentals of fishing, knot tying, species identification, reading the waters, lure building and many other activities geared towards fishing.
We set out the past four days on a freshwater lake targeting largemouth bass. Utilizing only artificial lures like DOA and monsterbass, anglers learn how to present baits in different techniques.
Jigging and using jerk baits, has been the top techniques by these anglers. Largemouth bass have been abundant ranging in size from 1 pound with the largest bass reaching 9.7 pounds this week. The kids have wrangled over 100 fish the past four days. This learning experience on the water builds confidence and team leader ship skills.
Freshwater camp ends tomorrow, but saltwater camp fires up next week and the kids are excited to take their newly developed confidence and skills, targeting snook, tarpon, jacks, snapper, drum and many other species.
Well, that is the fishing report for the past week. Thank you to the Captains and guest speakers that have made this week spectacular, as well as our campers for a great week. We look forward to saltwater camp. Remember you can’t catch them from the couch so get out there and get hooked up. Tight lines!
