Community Programs

‘kids4reel’ partners with organizations like Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation FWC, Coastal Conservation Association CCA & Fish Florida to offer youth fishing educational programs. These educational/life skill enhancement programs apply to youth/teens from 5- 18 years old.

A good example is our Kids Clinic, in which ‘kids4reel’, in concert with FWC, CCA & Fish Florida provide community learning events in conservation and fishing techniques. Fishing professionals such as charter captains, as well as experienced volunteers, provide hands-on instruction to youth/teens with varying abilities. At these ‘kids4reel’ clinics, youth/teens progress through ‘learning stations’ in which they are taught:

Knot Tying: Safety first; knots are important; how to tie knots
The Good Angler: Fish by the rules; protect the habitat; catch & release; limit your take; trash disposal & practice safety afloat
Tackle: Rods, reels, tackle; tackle box contents; first aid; regulations
Where Fish Live: Habitat importance & conservation
Casting: Safety; techniques; proper aiming; respectful of others
Fishing!: Youth/teens will practice baiting hooks; casting; catching & removing fish; re-rigging; catch & release and ethical angling

‘kids4reel’ experienced team members also lead learning experiences for 4H Club youths and Literacy events at local schools

Future Community Programs under review for implementation include:

Partnering with local youth/teen organizations, e.g. Boys and Girls Club, to bring the ‘kids4reel’ program to life and introduce fishing skills, regulations, conservation, and safety to even more youth in our community
