[dropcap]S[/dropcap]cheduled activities include our annual “Hook Kids on Fishing Clinic,” co-sponsored by Anglers for Conservation from 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. The clinic is open to all kids ages 6-14 with a parent. Students receive fishing poles, tackle and attend mini-sessions to learn fishing basics from local experts. Their newly acquired skills are then put to good use by fishing along the banks of the Indian River Lagoon.
At 12:30 p.m., we explore the seagrasses with hand nets and seine. Participants will catch and release small marine animals that call the estuary home. This popular get wet activity is recommended for ages 4 and up with an adult.
Reservations required for both activities. For more information, visit www.hobesoundnaturecenter.com or call (772) 546-2067.
