Looking for Jr. Fish Mongers!!!
Hello all
This Year in July and Aug, We are setting up trips on wed and thurs afternoons ( 3-5 hours trips ) For families with Children.
These will be nearshore or river trips designed to teach the young ones all aspects of the water. Fishing,crabbing, boating, and safety.
We are Looking help to get more kids/families involved in the Fishing and boating.
These will be educational type trips where everything will be hands on... for a fun filled afternoon.
Snacks and awards/prizes will be on store the young ones as well as the youngsters name and picture on a special Jr Fishmonger section of our Website and firework displays are an option on both wed and thurs evenings to end the trip...
You do not have to charter the whole boat, we could match you up with another family/child group.
Looking for feedback so...Anybody interested Please shoot me an email for details...
Looking forward to making a few more youngsters get hooked TT^ on fishing !!!
Thanks
Capt Jerry and Capt Wayne

I think it is a great idea! There are not many charter boats that are specifically kid friendly. The only other one locally that I can think of is the Angela Rose and Capt Anthony. It is hard to get kids hooked on saltwater fishing from shore. They just don't have the patience to keep going out over and over again and not really catch all that much...unless you get a lucky day or hit snappers in the Bay. I know it is fishing and you always want to instill that in them, but kids like to be rewarded with a catch every now and then.
What age child do you think is appropriate to take out on a boat? I know it really all depends on the child, but...
Thanks

Always Plenty to of different species for Youngsters to catch locally just about everyday.
I will suggest for the Younger Ones a 3 hour RIVER trip.
For the children a little older Nearshore or combo will be fine...
and Fireworks are fun for EVERYONE!!!
