Take a Kid Fishing Update - Oct. 13, 2012
Posted: September 26th, 2012, 6:52 pm
Captains and Crew –
Thanks for volunteering your boat, time, and expertise for this special fun event. We could still use another four to five boats, so if you know anyone, please have them call/email me.
Those of you who have fished Take a Kid Fishing in the past years know what a rewarding experience this is. For those of you that are new to TAKF, here's the mostly common sense rules:
Most boats will also have a sponsor from the children's home to accompany the child.
The children will have their own lifejackets, snacks, and drinks. Captains will supply fishing gear and tackle.
The children are scheduled to arrive at Fort San Marco on October 13, 2012, at 7:45 and fishing will be from 8:00 to noon. Please be prompt back at the pavilion to enjoy lunch (provided) and a helping of tall fish tales!
Meet me in the morning at the pavilion to receive your packet, which will include boat sticker and a boat flag (to display that you're fishing).
We will send a ramp fee waiver for the fort in a later email. The waiver will be in Adobe pdf format so that you can download and print. The waiver should be displayed on your dash. If you are unable to print the waiver, see me at the pavilion; I'll have extras. You can email me at doneengland@gmail.com if you have any questions.
Once again Captains, thanks for volunteering! We appreciate your time and effort in this fun event. Have a fun time with the kids!
I need Capt. Reel Thyme and Tally Ken Better Half to please email me at doneengland@gmail.com. I need the following information: the size of your boat, age of any children you'll bring with you, and are they boys or girls.
