For all of you kids and adults who want to try your hand at casting, tying fishing knots or just want to talk about fishing, be sure to stop by our area this Sunday, May 27 starting at 10am at the Seventh-Day Adventist Church Field, 66 Wright Crescent, Kingston, ON (Originally scheduled at the YMCA, 100 Wright Crescent, Kingston)
I am also going to be "fishing" for interest in running another 6 week course teaching fishing to youth. This course will be open to any 10-13 year olds, boys and girls but to a select number. It will be slightly modified from the current course we are running right now, but the information will remain the same that is being presented. All we are looking for at this time is interest, your name, your age, and your contact information so we can call on you as we move forward. This course will be taught on-site at the YMCA here in Kingston once a week. Another local angler will be on-site as well helping out and his fishing rig (truck and boat) will be front and center for all of you to admire. Thanks to Nelson Pereira for joining us to spend time teaching the tricks of the trade to our next generation of anglers. Nelson is the Club President of the Rideau Lakes Bassmasters and he knows many of the hot spots on our local lakes so look through his tackle box for the "go-to-lures." On that note there will be a raffle to win a day fishing with Nelson and I this summer, dates pending. Five names will be drawn and the individuals will be contacted in order of the draw. If the first can't attend then the second and so on will be contacted. If you are between the ages of 10 and 13 be sure to get your name in. Parents and guardians often accompany their children on fishing expeditions, so it's also important that they learn a bit about the sport so they can enjoy this quality time spent with each other. http://www.kingston.ymca.ca/ Hope to see you there!

"Kids love fishing, and police personnel know the benefits of kids enjoying healthy outdoor activities. This inspired the Police Association of Ontario to team up with Bob Izumi, Canadian Tire Corporation and Fishing Forever to create a grassroots program that encourages youngsters to go fishing".
If you have a child and want to hang out with some seasoned anglers and fish off the docks in Seeley's Bay then be sure to load up the vehicle, grab your friends and family and share some laughs while making memories. "Kids, Cops & Canadian Tire Fishing Days program is a way for parents and other adults to establish productive and healthy relationships with children. Since its inception the programme has grown to include over 70 events annually in Ontario and across Canada, and to date almost 100,000 youngsters have been able to experience the joy of fishing. This is a true success story that would not have been possible without the ongoing support of the Police Association of Ontario, Canadian Tire and all of the hardworking volunteers who donate their time and effort to the programme." The day begins with a FREE sausage and pancake breakfast before wetting a line. Your host "Big" Jim McLaughlin of Just Fishing will be slinging food and can answer all of your fishing related questions. Breakfast starts at 8am Fishing goes from 9 - 11am Be sure to spread the word, SEE YOU THERE! The Next Cast Youth Fishing Program http://kidsandcops.ca/ http://www.justfishing.ca/ |
