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.
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.
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:
What a week! We had a great group of kids and from the start they were pretty fishy bunch with an average of over 70 fish a day! Despite my suggestion of just enjoying the time on the water and not worrying about how many fish they are catching, I have to admit I was pretty impressed when the kids were crunching the numbers. They definitely fished hard and earned their success on the water.
The SJP Fishing club is one of the largest student clubs on campus. The club consists of a broad spectrum of anglers from fly fishing purists to tuna hunters. The club holds regular meetings, sponsors trips, and goes fishing whenever possible.
