"Teaching fishing as a sport? I don't think so, mostly because most fishing involves no competition"
I don't who you fish with, or where you fish, but most of the fishermen that I know are extremely completive! Why do you think that they get up at dark thirty to be the first one in the hole? Why do you think that they buy bigger and better boats, reels, and all the other toys that we use? Why do you think they go crazy about snaggers? The big difference is, fishermen don't need steroids, or dugs to be "completive" as so many of the other of the sports so often do.

I am not talking about taking time away from any student during school hours! This is all to occur after the normal leaning periods are over (after school). But maybe it will show to be the best, lets see what everryone else says about that one!

Excellent discussion!! Great points for discussion!

I will add my thoughts after everyone else has made there own impute to this thread. You are really thinking like I am thinking, and I hope to add to what you have just said.
Mooch
Good comments, and I am sure you are doing all that you can do

Buy I also know that we can do more! This is a good thread that bring fishermen together, and that should also have some good results when is done!
I know that we all we all want the best for our kids, so lets not knock each other on this one! This one is truly for the kids, and we need to think of it that way. I am not going to bait anyone up on this thread! This is truly to see what we can do for kids who can't get the chance to have their fathers or grandfathers teach them what we have been lucky enough to learn. Everyone's impute has been far batter that I thought it would be, so lets hear some more!
Thanks for keeping this one on line!!
