Based on input we are going directly to fishing where you learn by doing! Learn as you do it on the beach, not in a class.
Limited to approx. 15 people. Click the Registration link, above and below.
Conducted by the capable and patient Pompano Rich – he was fantastic last year!
Fee is $55 per person. Plus you get a face protector from Power-Pole, a coozie cup, free Flanigan’s drink coin all worth $20! To benefit the nonprofit Ladies Let’s Go Fishing Foundation.

About a half hour south of Stuart not far from Riviera Beach, a bit north of West Palm Beach.
Followed by networking at the Thirsty Turtle only minutes from the beach! Meet for lunch (not included) afterwards or you can keep fishing on the beach on your own when the guide leaves, your choice. Possible knot tying refresher there based on timing. Meet the others!
If you come later you should have your rod and reel already rigged up with a pompano rig so you can get right to fishing.
While this is oriented towards women, men and teens are welcome to sign up.
