Going Coastal : Intro to Fishing for Youth

In Florida, fishing is a great way for the whole family to enjoy the outdoors all year round. This program is designed to get the youngest members (youth ages 7-12) excited about fishing by teaching them some of the basics about fish, their habitats and ethical fishing practices. The program will start out in the classroom with some hands on activities and continue at the fishing pier at Weedon Island Preserve. Parents must attend with their children, with no more than 2 children per adult. Intended for youth ages 7-12.
