Kids Fishing Clinic October 2 will go on as scheduled.
Due to FWC Commissioners decision to continue the closed season, banning snook harvest through 2011, the traditional Snook Shindig Research tournament is canceled.
However, a free Kids Fishing clinic designed to teach children about fishing, fish biology, and conservation will go on as planned. Please register early as this event often 'sells out'.
