Another RBAA Junior Clinic planned

For the second time this year, the Rainbow Beach Amateur Anglers ran a fishing clinic for local juniors.  This time the session was held out at Inskip Point. While the weather was not entirely favourable, we did see nearly 30 young fishers and their families brave the conditions.

We were fortunate to have the ALVEY crew on hand to share their expertise and all of the children walked away with some very cool ALVEY hats.

We pumped lots of yabbies, learnt some soft plastic techniques and a few even successfully threw a cast net! There were a few fish caught but all were released to live another day.

These junior clinics continue to grow in popularity and are well attended. It is awesome to see young people developing a love for the outdoors and a passion for fishing.

We have had a large number of adults express interest in helping out and a willingness to share their knowledge and expertise. This will be graciously welcomed in the future as many hands make light work, and I myself am always keen to learn more and better my chances of catching fish.

The Rainbow Beach Amateur Anglers Club Competition and the annual Rainbow Beach Fishing Classic are coming up and I know the juniors will continue to be a major focus with designated fishing days, weigh-ins and education sessions.

We are planning for our next Junior Clinic to be late August early September.

Catch you around,

Mr B
