A huge turnout of Indee Bass Club members showed up for the fall seminars held at the Triangle Pond here in Independence, Iowa. When Keith Donnelly and I started this club we had one goal in mind; to help the kids learn about bass fishing and help them get better. This night is always a great way to keep that goal alive for the kids in the Independence area. About 20 students were there to learn about casting techniques, rod and reel selection, bait choices and get any questions answered that they may have. All students left the seminars with some new baits thanks to PROW (Preserving Recreation On the Wapsi), myself and Dale Gooding (fishing friend of myself).
Students were able to get 1 on 1 attention while they casted, flipped and pitched there baits at targets, something that looks easy at first but isn't. Most anglers at this age are pretty efficient at casting, but the art of pitching a bait to a certain target is still very hard for them. Practicing in the backyard is the best way to learn this skill, your neighbor might think you are a bit weird, but in the near future you can show them all those pictures of bass you have been catching!
Thanks to the other adults that helped out with the learning on this night: Paul Schmadeke, Dave Wilson, and Randy Toale.
