The annual ‘Schoolfish Program’ with Year 5 students from Golden Beach State School is held over a three week period consisting of three morning sessions. The initial session is conducted in the school auditorium / hall and consists of general theory in the art and types of fishing including the practice of responsible and sustainable recreational fishing. The second session is conducted on the school oval and includes education in the use of fishing equipment and accessories. Here the students are taught the art of casting a fishing line. The final session is conducted along the foreshores of the Pumicestone Passage at Golden Beach. The students now apply their fishing skills and are encouraged to catch and release their fish. This educational program is generously funded by the Fishing Club.
