"We doubled the number of educational stations this year and everyone flowed through quickly, learning about everything from fish habitat and conservation to how to throw a cast net," he added. The Flagler Sportfishing Club along with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Fish Florida, and volunteers offered Six Skill Stations that taught the participants about casting, conservation, habitat, knot tying, proper fish handling and how to throw a cast net. After attending all six stations, each participant received a "Good Angler" award. The first 200 kids received a free fishing rod, donated by Fish Florida. Each child also received a free hot dog and water donated by Flagler Sportfishing Club.
