Thanks guys keep the ideas coming I will reply to everyone induvidually this week but just to be clear I am thinking a camping experience would be the most fun for the kids I am thinking small groups like 8-10 kids and I would encourage a couple moms an dads to stay and help out I would definately have some other activeties set up (board games movies sports) my wife is a day care provider and I would def be going to update my CPR/first aid and my lifegaurd cert. Like I said this will take LOTS of planning which is why I am sooting for next july to allow for lots of planning and I will make a decision in the fall and start advertising in the new year this is still just a idea but I am starting to think it just might work.

Thanks guys this is exactly the things I want to know I kinda figured insurance would be the biggest hurdle.

Were's the pics of said obsession we really like pics.

Shoot me a PM I am all ears as far as I know this hasn't or isn't being done so it will take some planning and some trial and error but most important for this to work would be the kids have to catch a tonne of fish and have the time of there lives that is my first priority in this venture.

Ok so I have had this idea for a few years and I might pull the trigger for the 2012 season .What I am planning on doing is setting up 2, 1 week fishing camps for kids ages 8-13 .I am posting this to see what kind of interest there is for this ,would anyone here send there kids to something like this .I would be taking the kids out for bass and pike for 1 day(on long point bay) and a charter for bows and walleye as well as camping and fishing instruction each child would get a fishing rod and some tackle and learn how to tie lots of knots, cast a bait caster, stuff like that. It would be held at a reservoir camp grounds so the kids could fish every day if they like and I would provide canoes and supervision for these activities .I still have a lot of details that have to be addressed like insurance possible sponsors and what it would cost per child . I won’t be doing this to make money but would like to have it self supporting but if there’s enough interest I may consider doing this as a business in the summer months .Please feel free to e-mail me at [email protected] .Let me know your thoughts and if you would be interested in sending your children to a camp like this .

Saw these on FB this morning nice brown Jacob got there looks like a good day

better than mine I fished for less than a hour and every creek I looked was chocolate milk

I'm pretty sure this is all OFAH cares about is keeping the bank full of $$$.

Go see Laurie at The Dixie tackle shop in st thomas she has some really nice darter heads (unpainted) with gammy hooks that would be great for eye's but she will order anything for you she's great to deal with

But quite entertaining for the rest of us

Brandon you were right infront of me taking pics I was the guy in the front row with the little guy in a camo hat thought you looked familiar.

I was there talked to Ryan before going in and my little guy had a accident so I had to leave right away great show Dave's a funny guy

Great Post Paul this is a great bunch of anglers here

be there in 45 mins

That's terrible I was hoping to meet John in july at the fish a thon we will most definatly have a moment of silence in his honor that day. My thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.

Yeah lots of fresh fish around I kinda hope the waters high and dirty to protect the big girls that are still on redds should be a good year though.

I'm pretty sure it's been worded the 4th saturday for a few years now hopefully most of the once or twice a year opener fisherman will miss this and wait till the next saturday

if your in a group and all your limits are in the same bucket, as long as all anglers are there the fish are not in your "possesion" just because your carrying the bucket or charter captains would get nailed every time they unload there coolers. I am sure the fine was for over his limit because he admited to keeping more than his limit to try and fill the other guys limits just my take on it next time I talk to a CO I will ask I seem to get checked more than anyone I know LOL see them all the time just goes to show ya how easy the regulations are to understand

Not trying to pick on ya Wayne but I took your word as the gospel LOL and got proven wrong on another board so I checked the MNR site and found this . •Possessing more fish than permitted by your fishing licence or the fishing quota. Catch and retain and possession limits may vary by region, fisheries division, individual body of water, or even parts of a body of water. You must determine your “daily” fishing limit for the waters you intend to fish and follow these limits. Remember you may only catch your own limit – there are no provisions for “party” fishing or for excluding fish that you may have consumed or plan to consume that day. so the OP's problem was admitting he caught over his limit not that their fish were all in 1 bucket which had nothing to do with the fine had he said he only caught part of his limit he would have been OK.BTW I went through the 2011 book and there's nothing about "party fishing".

Very nice job Leechman!!!

Def report her she should have the right to sell fishing lisences taken away that alone brings customers into a tackle shop she will lose out for trying to scam anglers !

They WILL call in to see if you have a previous convictions or fines saw it with my own eye's last weekend guy forgot to renew his lisence and because he had no previous convictions he got a warning and 24 hours to get his lisence and prove it which he did the CO was really nice and treated him fairly

Yep I got a good laugh when I tried to stir the pot only to be foiled by the pickereye filters LOL

PICKERAL pickerel (pickerel (walleye)) Just saying Nice LOL

Cudz that vids hilarious, I'm a big Keenan fan that kids a hoot .
