Our coaches will be focusing on building a base knowledge of the anglers. Topics will include these areas:
Anglers are expected to review the videos posted on both the Beginner and Advanced video pages prior to the season starting.
Anglers will have an opportunity to build their own spinner and jig tackle during this practice session. This will be scheduled at a later date.
Thank you Coaches for volunteering! We could not do it without you!
If your angler needs a fishing rod, please contact a Coach or send an email to biglakebassteam@gmail.com.
Here are the presentations that the Coaches went over with the student anglers. This will be posted after each of our classroom practices.
HOW DOES THIS ALL WORK?
- We have 4 Head Coaches who organize their group/team providing fishing opportunities with them personally or with an assistant coach / boat captain.
- These are "practice fishing" opportunities. Coaches might be teaching a specific technique, pattern or skill. You are not necessarily just fishing/catching.
- We will have shore fishing opportunities for larger groups with teaching opportunities.
- Each head coach is organized a little bit differently. It is your responsibility to keep in contact with your coach for that month and schedule fishing opportunities.
- Each coach will let you know where to meet, what the plan for fishing is, who you will be fishing with.
- Some coaches are available during day time hours in the summer! You may go fishing at 7am or 5pm.
- Typical fishing times are 2-3 hours each time
- Come prepared!
Our teams are extremely fortunate to have volunteer coaches who help. These coaches are dedicated to our team and want to teach students everything from the basics to more advanced techniques of Bass Fishing.
Coaches teach in the classroom and on the water. Once fishing opener comes we want to do our best to get as many kids fishing as we can.
Thank you Coaches for volunteering! We could not do it without you!
