Title: Middle School Fishing
Post by: Duke on February 28, 2008, 01:12:24 PM
I have a unique opportunity to do something to promote our sport and have some fun with it.

As some of you already know, I teach middle school kids, but this upcoming grading period I will have the opportunity to teach a course about bass fishing to a group of 15-20 kids. I, and many kids, are really looking forward to it.

The highlight, though, will be on May 17, I'm going to take all the kids fishing on Koontz Lake for a few hours in the morning. I have about 12 guys all ready to bring their boat and take a kid fishing. I'm looking for a handful more volunteers yet though - hint, hint. I'm wanting 1 kid per boat.

I need some suggestions: I'd like to get a tackle pack to give the kids on that day, but not sure who to contact for donations. Any suggestions and phone numbers?

K and E Tackle/ NBAA should be able to handle tackle packs for you.  I cant see anyone not wanting to give to this.

We will be fishing on Koontz Lake which is 30 minutes south of South Bend, IN.

Bob, we'll be fishing from 8-12. I'm glad you're helping out!
