Saturday March 11^th was the PSL Anglers Kids Fishing Tournament. As a member of the PSL Anglers, I was asked to help out. I really love helping kids fish, so of course I went to help out. I arrived at the Port Saint Lucie Botanical Gardens around 8:00am and there were already lots of kids ready to go.

While we were waiting for the tournament to start at 9:00am I helped multiple families get ready to start fishing. It was great seeing the turnout. There was a total of 117 kids registered for the event.

Once the fishing began, I started helping one family. The little girl said she had never caught a fish before. I made it a point to get her on a fish. About 5 minutes into fishing, she caught her first fish! I then started to help her brother out. Unfortunately, the family did not catch another fish.

I ended up helping numerous kids throughout the tournament. Weather it was baiting hooks, taking fish off, or rerigging their lines. I tried to teach every child while I was helping them. I always try to teach the children as I am heling them. This helps them become better fishermen in the future.

All it in all it was a great tournament. Lots of prizes were given out to the kids. The biggest fish of the day was a 17inch Tilapia, with a 16inch Bass a close second. All the smiles from the kids catching fish today made it a great day. The memories we helped build is what it is all about.

Tania and I pray all who made it out this weekend had a blessed and safe trip. The weather this week looks like it will be windy. Go figure, Tania is off all week, and I took Tuesday – Thursday off and the weather forecast looks bad. We do have a boat for a few of the day and we will try to make it out! May everyone who is going out this week have tight lines and good times.
