Prep Fisherman to Fish in Fly Fishing World Championships

One of our own will be competing in the IGFA World Inshore Flyfishing Championships, held in the Florida Keys this summer. Sam Hart, a senior at the Prep, qualified for the event by placing in the top two at the Tres Pescado Slam, an IGFA Championships qualifier event, held in Belize this past summer. To read more about Sam's great accomplishment and the IGFA Inshore Championships, check out the links below.

We wish Sam luck this summer and can't wait to hear about the championship event! Tight lines!

Untamed Tuna Fishing

Captain Judd and Mr. Borgatti hooked up with a group of science filmmakers known as Untamed Science this summer. Many of you know Untamed Science from your freshmen biology textbook and the videos that support the curriculum. Our goal was to film actively feeding bluefin tuna and also catch, tag, and release one. Despite some great fishing leading up to the trip, we were blanked. We still managed to have a good time, despite the less than favorable conditions.

It has been way too long since we have updated the blog. The next couple posts will consist of memorable catches from the SJP Fishing Community since our absence from the blogosphere.

Go Fish Camp, Week 2 Day 2

Another great day on the water; however, it started very slow. We began the day at one of our most productive fishing spots, only to find very difficult to find fish. In an effort to change our luck, we made the call to hit a pond that no one had ever fished before. Before long, we were into fish, including some nice bass.

Not A Mack!

Chris was making bait with his sabiki rig when he pulled up this surprise catch.

Go Fish Camp, Week 2 - Day 1

The second week of the St. John's Go Fish camp is underway and we have a great group. Today we hit three fishing holes and pulled some nice fish out of each one. Tomorrow we will be back at it bright and early. Here are some photos from the day:
