Hey guys, I am wondering what kind of fishing combo should I make as the standard issue kind of thing for my middle school fishing club? I mostly got experienced members with their own tackle and going to their own youth tournaments, aka Anantha, but this year, I am recruiting non anglers. Currently, I am looking at Zebco 202 combos and a bunch of 1" grubs and jig heads. Too make room for as many field trips on the water as possible, I need to budget out things, especially since my school is full of outdoorsmen...... Do you know of any better beginner setups?

Hey.

Some of the students are hooked on it. I decided to see what the fuss was about.

Some of my students....... man, they would really like to sneak out of school to fish.

Life did seem to be more "Tom Sawyer" back then.

Anyone play those fishing games? Like the ones on Facebook. I find the game Let's Fish to be a bit fun, but nothing beats landing a real fish.

They are said to taste pretty bad. What's more, they have quite a dose of mercury in them.

Want do you use to nail the small snakeheads?

It seems that there are always people crowded along town lakes, while nobody goes to the remote reservoir. Even if fishing rates doubled, I think that those remote lakes rarely, if ever, see an angler.

The big 'uns aren't fooled by those stinky concoctions. They are predators, not scavengers. They using a live bait, or a spinner with a minnow attached.

I think new anglers, like my students, don't care about what they catch, only they catch something. It is disappointing to only catch a 10 pounder once a year, and no other fish at all, than to fill up the cooler with crappie.

Have Bass Pro Shops helped schools in the past/

The power plant in the background does make these look like "chernobyl fishing." I wonder what kind of bass you would catch in Chernobyl....

If you got close it it, it could be a beaver warning this nest mates about a potential predator. Beavers slap the water with their tails to warn other beavers.

Ha ha! I used to have a kid like that go on environmentalist field trips even though he was more of a jock that texts in class than a guy interested in digging up turnips. When I showed the classes the list of seminar field trips I have, he signed up for a lot of them. Turns out he just sits inside the air conditional building texting.
