mikethespike Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 was out @ grenadier pond yesterday morning to try my hand @ slip float rigging, and i noticed a crowd gathering around the pier. i completely forgot about national fishing weekend, thought it was in august. @ around 10:15am the organizers started handing out rods & tackle and pretty soon the pier (from which i had started casting from) filled up with kids and parents setting up gear and some had started casting. there were tangles everywhere and i helped out a couple of kids with their lines. i suggested to one of the volunteers we teach them texas-rigging coz there were too many close calls with all the wild casting going on, and the reply i got was: "it's ok, we got first aid kits". (i just thought to myself: its a good thing this wasn't national hunting week) anyways, i went around and helped some kids with their setups, gave some jigs, hooks, floats, bait. etc., by the time i checked my watch it was already 1pm and i only had done like 5 casts myself. i left shortly after and anyways it was a really enjoyable experience watching kids and parents fishing for the first time.
