Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Bluegill fans I have been working on a catch-and-release shore-fishing league for a couple of years. If you have never participated in a club/league-fishing event, I will be discussing making your own league, what you need, describing the event and sharing results from our club. In the discussion I can share some tips to making it run.

I might be interested, my female friend grace & i could start 1 for a good cause if we knew how.

Even better - a charity league would do well to get the word spread!

 

I will have to put together a comprehensive guide on starting the league. We are forming a national network of leagues and we have a national championship (in Northern Indiana this year) for bank anglers.

 

If you are serious in getting a league going We can help to get this started with brochures, guides, scoring etc. - everything you need to start it up including printing, website, etc.

 

I am also working through the U.S. Fishing team to come up with a teacher's system so that people can get a angling teacher training to become coaches.

This national network of angling teacher's would work through the U.S. Fishing team and work to learn the standards of teaching bank angling.

 

This is all new this year and probably will be implemented in 2012. This year I can give you enough information to get you started and you can run a small number of event in your area. But for all interested, we would like to you to become a member of the national organization - we can all build fishing together.

 

Thanks,

 

Johnny
