Description

Women will learn the basic skills for saltwater fishing in our outdoor classroom and test these skills by actually fishing at Sunrise Park. Our Family Fishing Clinics are introductory classes to saltwater fishing. These clinics will teach skills on how to tie fishing knots, how to rig a rod and reel, casting, and the best part: everyone will get to try their hand at fishing! We have decided to host a women's fishing clinic where learning will be fun, humorous, and stress-free! So come out and fish, enjoy the outdoors, and make this a Women's Fun Day! Details for the event: • What to bring: Dress is casual. Check the weather report and dress appropriately as you will be outside. Other items to consider bringing include hat, sunglasses, bug spray and reusable water bottle. Everything you need to participate in the class will be provided for you for the duration of the clinic. This is a catch-and-release clinic. • Fishing License: You must have a valid South Carolina Saltwater Fishing License. You can purchase a license here , at one of our titling offices (M-F), Wal-mart, most sporting goods stores, local tackle shops, or over the phone. • Costs: The clinic is free of charge. • Weather: Clinics are held rain or shine unless hazardous weather occurs. • Parking: We will have the main portion of the class in the Outdoor Classroom on the SCDNR campus.
