June 2008 Bass Tourney Schedule

Fishing For Success is a kids’ fishing program hosted by Dr. Dan Canfield of the University of Florida. It offers quality fishing on stocked ponds for kids and parents at the once-monthly Family Fishing Day. June 21st is the next Family Fishing Day. Admission free to general public. The program would certainly benefit from corporate sponsorship on the level of that enjoyed by most little league ball parks. FFS reaches over 18,000 kids, and their families, each year.
