Groups fished on Wednesday and Friday mornings and Mayor Nola Theiss welcomed the students on Wednesday, fol- lowed by members of the Wildlife Committee speak- ing about their love of fishing and the need to fish responsibly. The students then split into three groups: one fished from the pier; one fished from the beach and the third practiced cast net throwing. Then the groups rotated so that all students had a hand at all three. Net casting was the most enthusiastically received, understandably since results were immediate.
