2018 SUMMER BASS CAMP
Primary Tackle’s summer bass fishing camp is designed to promote bass fishing at a young age and open young anglers eyes to the opportunities available in fishing. It will be a mixture of classroom and video instruction along with in-store and lakeside instruction on casting and fishing.
Each day we will have an hour of casting practice at store or lake.
Monday - Rod/Reel selection, Basic lure types and use
Tuesday - Cover and Structure – Where do bass live/ Techniques
Lure Specific Instruction – Plastics, Jigs
Wednesday – Rod and Reel care/Tackle organization, Lure Building
Lure Specific Instruction – Spinnerbaits, Crankbaits
Thursday – High School Tournament fishing, Fishing organizations
Sun safety and general fishing first aid (Hook removal)
More lure building and specific lure instruction
Friday – Bankside tournament and fishing/Casting contest
Day will end with awards and presentations in the store
Each angler will receive a hat, sun shirt, small tackle box to hold the baits they build during the course as well.
We will have teens from some local high school clubs presenting at each of these events. We will also be covering local fishing clubs and organizations as well as places to fish and state rules. For the high school camps there will also be a section covering career and school opportunities as they apply to fishing.
The week will end with a bankside fishing trip and small tournament to let them test the baits they built as well as to apply some of the techniques they have learned. Lunch and awards will be provided in the store to end their day on Friday.
Mailed in applications will be accepted but we will cut off registration once all spots have been filled.
