All students
and parents at Croft are encouraged to get some exercise and have some fun during
this year’s bass season on the Miramichi. To this end, we are promoting an eleven day
Bass Fishing Derby at our school. Details are as follows:
When? May 9th-19th – After
school hours, evenings and week-ends (parent’s discretion)
Where? Anywhere on the Miramichi River. However, we are
designating two evenings (May 14th & 15th) for Croft
Families to rendezvous at the Enclosure Campground (in front of Fisheries
Building below the Nelson train bridge).
Who? All
Croft students and their parents are encouraged to participate.
Why? Get
some exercise, have some family fun, enjoy the outdoors, learn new skills and
possibly win our grand prize (fishing gear – rod, reel, tackle and tackle box).
How? Parents will be responsible for organizing,
transporting and supervising their children during all fishing excursions.
Some
fishing rods and gear are available as “loaners” from the school. To reserve equipment,
please call Mr. Donovan @ 627-4080.
Note: For each fish hooked and landed by a
student, parents will be asked to verify the catch (see attached tally sheet).
Students will receive a ballot at the end of our eleven day fishing period for
each bass hooked and landed. All ballots will go into the grand prize draw that
will be held at lunch hour on Wed. May 21st.
Cost? There
is no cost for students to participate. Also, there is no cost for a fishing
license when fishing bass in tidal waters.
