Kids, water and fishing just naturally go together, but a little experienced help and preplanning assure positive introductions to this fun-filled sport. We had a four way tie for second place with Jaime Hernandez, Glen Simpson, Alma Ventura and Roxanne Soreque, all landing five fish apiece. All the winners above received Zebco 33 combos for their efforts. Every child left with plenty of goodies as reminders of their fun-filled day. It's the tug on the end of the line that matters and the memories and bonds that are created between the children and adults.
Fishing is a nondiscriminating sport.
It knows no boundaries of age, sex or nationality. It's feeling that telltale signal of a fish at the end of the line that gets both young and old anglers excited. Our fishing event was held at Sheldon Lake State Park in the Sheldon Lake Environmental Education Center, located 13 miles east of downtown Houston. The facilities were perfect for our outing. There were two stocked one acre ponds with lots of shade trees, picnic benches and tables, restrooms, and plenty of parking.
