Pack your sunscreen, hat, lawn chair and fishing gear because the Lake Jackson Parks and Recreation Department has paired up with Sea Center Texas to bring you this catch and release event! Kids will have an opportunity to learn how to bait their hook and cast their line, so they can hopefully catch a "Reel Big Fish!" Volunteers will be on hand to assist first time anglers.
Bring your own gear and bait with barbless hooks. Bait should be freshly dead shrimp. No corks, artificial bait, treble hooks, or metal leaders. a 4/0 or 5/0 circle hook on a line with a weight (Carolina Rig) is recommended. Please use at least 20lbs test fishing line. These fish are big!!
The First 100 kids to arrive at the event will receive a free fishing pole!
