FWC offers fishing clinics for kids in June and July


The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) will host summer inshore fishing clinics for children in Cedar Key at the Sen. George Kirkpatrick Marine Lab.

This summer program is open to children ages 6 to 16, said Missy Woods Jackson, an environmental specialist at the lab.

Clinics are one-day programs throughout June and July.

“Participants will learn fish identification, knot-tying, casting, bait types, habitat types, gear care and more,” Jackson said. “The day will end with pier fishing. Fishing is catch-and-release,” Jackson said.

Organizations and individuals should make reservations to participate in this free FWC program.

“Please call 352-543-9219, ext. 216, to reserve your space,” Jackson requested.

The FWC’s Nature Coast Fishing in Cedar Key program is co-sponsored by Fish Florida and Sport Fish Restoration.

Fish Florida is a nonprofit organization supporting programs that teach about Florida’s fish and aquatic resources. Its funding comes from the Fish Florida specialty license plate featuring the sailfish, Florida’s official saltwater fish.

The Sport Fish Restoration program provides funds to states for fishery projects, boating access and aquatic education. The federal government created the program to restore and better manage America’s declining fishery resources. Funding comes from an excise tax on all fishing equipment, motor boats and small-engine fuels.

“If you are interested in reserving a date, sponsoring a clinic, making a donation, volunteering or if you’d like more information, please call 352-543-9219, ext. 216,” Jackson said.

Bill, who worked for years with the Boys and Girls Clubs understands the value of getting kids and their parents involved with the outdoors.

"Life is about giving back and that is what we intend to do with the Hook Kids on Fishing program. Bill Morris, Harbor Master for the City of Clearwater and Ronnie Melton, manager of Big Pier 60 are thrilled to provide the pier for all the participants and their families to learn more about fishing."
