Kids event sat

[crazyfishinnut]

The kbfn put on a great outing for the juniors Greg , Carlette , Raymond and others WELL DONE!!!!
On the other note As we are teaching our young people how to fish we are also teaching them how to be good sports. We had the pleasure of having some new faces and as always they are welcome. I had the pleasure of standing behind a well experienced young man when they asked for some single boaters to step up and take others without a boat and he looked to his right and said NOBODY FISHES WITH ME AND THE ARENT GOING TOO. Maybe they should work like a kbfn event and all have 2 contestants and share the front1/2 the day. the advantage of being a non in them events is to learn. If we are out here for the kids lets be out here for ALL the kids. We should ask all the regional directors to show up and take out 2 kids not just theirs or just 1 but 2 and we wouldn't run out of boats

The folks at Southern Kentucky Marine are grerat people. Anything to help kids is a great deal to get involved with. We sponsor a Junior Outdoors Club at our High School and it is wonderful to see this Junior Bassmaster Series thing going well. If you ever get an opportunity to give them your business try and do so. Customer Service A+! Thanks, James Myers.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Apr-12-06 AT 08:09AM (EST)[/font][p]They can usually use any adult willing to spend the day watching and coaching, Some of these kids can bobber fish but the big lake thing is intimidating. Depending on their age you might need to be on the trolling motor all day but you can not fish

Thanks to everyone who made our Youth Tournament on Saturday go smooth. For our first tourney, I thought we had a terrific turn-out.

Every contestant walked away with a door prize, and I was very pleased to see alot of happy faces!! The weigh-in had a pretty wide audience crowd and I was excited to see some very good fish come across the scales!

If anyone would like to come to a Youth Trail Event, please don't hesitate to try and attend!! These kids between the ages of 11-18 years old compete for a chance to compete in the Junior Bassmasters World Championship at the Bassmaster's Classic every year.

We are always in need of special boaters who want to take more than one child fishing, cause like Rodney said, we don't turn no-child away. So if ever anyone has a free weekend and would love to make a child's day...please call or just show up if you want to at one or all of our events. We extremely appreciate everything!!

Below is our schedule...if you have any questions at all, please contact us. Thanks for everyone's support!!

Guess what??? I just read your post and checked my schedule and I have August 5th open..or I did have until I filled the date with helping out at your tournament. There is nothing more important than lending some time to our youth and promoting their interest in fishing rather than handing them a video game. I will be in contact.

Thanks Dave that would be great.
I just hope it is some of the new kids with out boats that get to learn something from you rather than someone just trying to take an advantage of who you are and leaving thier boat at home to go out with a guide

Rodney: I see what you mean...never thought about that. I will keep that in mind when I contact Carlet. I really would like to have young folks in my boat that do not have a boat and don't get a chance to go out as much as the others...heck even some kid that has never done much bass fishing would be even better.

We won't let anybody take advantage of you Dave. The KBF also has a Jr. tournament down there on June 10 if anyone is interested. Dave I think you will really like this.

[Dave Stewart]

I am sure I will enjoy spending the day with the kids in my boat. I am very fortunate that since I do a lot of different type trips that I get to meet a lot of different folks in all phases of bass fishing from the novice to the top pro circuit folks. I can honestly say that my favorite trips are those that I get to take out young folks and work with them to improve their bass fishing. I have been fortunate enough to have already had a number of dads and sons over the school spring breaks this year and I thoroughly enjoyed all of the trips. Is the KBF Junior tournament set up the same way..that is do they need volunteers to take the kids out? Let me know asap.

[crazyfishinnut]

I think he will too. I have been involved since day one of the kids clubs and qualifiers. for the most part the kids are awesome. we have a local bussiness owner that has some stocked ponds we take our kids club too and they have a ball.
there are some parents that would do most anything to give thier kids an edge.
In the very first qualifier I watched a parent reel in a fish and the kid weighed it. things were a little fuzzy that first time but we have came a long way.
I took a young lady out 2 weeks ago withg my daughter that had never been bassin . I had to teach her how to use the reel and all. she landed 3 that evening and smiled all the way home
