Plum Island Surfcasters
Juniors Program
Catch a Fish...Catch a Kid
The Plum Island Surfcasters Jr. Program is dedicated to
teaching the youth through classroom activities throughout the winter months
and hands on fishing trips in the summer. The emphasis is on learning the
basics of rod building, fly tying, plug making, knot tying, bait rigs and
reading the water. With the goal of creating well rounded fishermen and women
for the future of our sport.
Meetings are held on the last Saturday of the
month (except February) at the Parker River Wildlife Headquarters in
Newbury, MA. (Starting in June it changes to Friday night) membership to the
Plum Island Surfcasters is required to attend meetings.
Outlined below is the schedule of events for this year's Junior's Program.
All members (even our adult members who would like guidance) are encouraged to attend any of the kids meetings, events
and activities to learn a few new techniques or just have fun.
