A rough week for New Jersey anglers, high winds and small craft advisories made for little reports.
Captain Ron’s Fishermen from Sandy Hook was in the thick of some very serious striped bass action before the Nor’easter worked its way through. Sailing daily, weather permitting, Captain Ron knows where to look and is in pursuit of big trophy bass.The Fishermen should have a great week ahead as winds finally die down along the shore.
The Fish Monger from Brielle was also in on some serious action before the storm with a good mix of big bass, blues, seabass and non- stop porgie action. Captain Jerry did find fish after the storm and is ready for a big week of fall bass fishing as well
.
Anglers are anxious and looking for an amazing week ahead; both inshore bass anglers as well as offshore tuna anglers. Be safe, good luck and fish on.
New IGFA Junior Angler website; Fish, Explore, Discover, Learn… It’s FreeYoungsters can now fish the IGFA website – completely free of charge on a wide array of fishing and marine subjects the world over – with its new Junior Angler program entitled “Fish, Explore, Discover, and Learn.”
The International Game Fish Association launched its new Junior Angler program this summer with a brand new website full of pro fishing tips and tricks, species identifications, biological information on marine and aquatic animals, games, contests, photo galleries and videos.
The IGFA’s Junior Angler and Small fry World Records are also featured – and every child has the opportunity to brag about their catches, record or otherwise.
“The overall goal and mission of the IGFA’s Junior Angler Program is to get more kids actively involved in recreational fishing activities,” said IGFA Education Director David Matagiese. “By transitioning our Junior Angler Program into a free online membership format, thousands of children all over the world will be able to share photos and fishing stories with each other – connecting young anglers across lakes, streams and oceans globally.”The Junior Angler page is accessible from
www.igfa.org under the “Educate” tab.
Indeed, being free, digital and interactive are key new features of the IGFA’s new Junior Angler program. Hoping to reach as many youths as possible, and with the support of Mercury Marine, Critter Control, Costa Del Mar, Rapala and TakeMeFishing.org, the IGFA is providing their wealth of resources to kids in a safe and easily-accessible venue and without charging a fee – a price point parents will appreciate.
New Junior Angler members will also still receive many of the same great benefits they had in the past including free admission to the IGFA Fishing Hall of Fame & Museum, discounts in the IGFA online store, free access to all of the IGFA Junior Angler World Records and much more. Combined with all the activities available on the website, the IGFA is offering plenty of ways to keep kids engaged in fishing all year long – and all for free.
Fish On!
