On the bright side a friend of mine's son started a fishing club in his High School and didn't know what to expect... Turns out it's one of the more popular clubs.

I got involved with National Teen Anglers http://www.teenanglers.org/ in 2005

Though they did not have much success starting fishing clubs in NJ Middle & High Schools, we still hold an annual Teen Angler Youth Day @ the Pequest Education Pond. 7/21/18 will be the 13th annual.

Everything is free. Kids can catch & release as many trout as they want, keep 3 to take home, lunch & prizes for all.

Last year this 9.89 lb., 23.5” was the largest.

Sign-ups begin in early June on the above website. The 80 slots fill up quickly,…….in 1 or 2 days.

Excellent Mark and thanks for volunteering... It's often times events like this is all it takes for someone to get the fishing bug and this great sport of ours can keep kids out of trouble and provide a lifetime of enjoyment.

If anyone has fishing equipment / tackle to donate for prizes for 7/21/18 Teen Anglers event, the teens would appreciate it.

Doesn’t have to be new,………..working reels / rods, tackle / lures that you no longer use.

A few years ago, I had several rod / reel combos that were confiscated from violators by NJDF&W Conservation Officers. I told the teens that the rods were taken from criminals who broke Fish & Wildlife laws, and that should be a lesson to them to always obey the law.

I overheard one of the teens say to another, that he hoped to get one of the “criminal rods”.

I guess those rods had “stream cred”.
