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.
