Get hooked on the great outdoors during National Fishing and Boating Week - reel in fun, adventure and unforgettable memories!
Get stuck into some outdoor adventure with National Fishing and Boating Week, kicking off on June 1! This annual celebration has roots dating back to 1979 when President Jimmy Carter declared the importance of recreational boating and fishing. The week serves as a shining reminder of the joy and freedom associated with these activities, enjoyed by millions across the country. So, unfurl those sails, dust off the fishing rods, and let's dive headfirst into a week of aquatic wonder. There's no better way to connect with nature and create incredible memories. After all, as the saying goes, a bad day fishing is still better than a good day at work! Let's reel in some fun!
Whether it's freshwater or saltwater, plan a trip to your favorite fishing spot or discover a new one. Rent a boat or join a guided tour for an unforgettable day of casting lines and catching fish.
Safety comes first! Celebrate the week by taking a boating safety course. Learn about boat handling, navigation, equipment, and emergency procedures to ensure everyone's safety on the water.
Love for nature should go hand in hand with its preservation. Join or organise a cleanup event at your local lake, river, or beach. It's a satisfying way to give back and keep the waters clean for all creatures, big and small.
Gather your friends and organize a friendly fishing tournament. Assign points for different types of fish, the biggest catch, or the first one to catch a fish... ensuring laughter and fun memories along the journey.
Turn your fishing trip into a culinary adventure. Learn how to properly clean and cook your catch of the day. You might want to also learn a new recipe or two to turn your catch into a delicious meal and celebrate the fishing trip from start to finish.
