Captain Don Dingman returns to the show with his Kids Fishing Clinics - better known as Hook the Future! Learn about a wide variety of fish species and watch as Captain Don demonstrates key techniques in action. This program not only teaches kids how to fish, but parents also learn how important it is to spend quality time as a family. Plus, each kid in attendance will leave with a custom Hook the Future x Carolina Skiff rod & reel combo.
This is a family favorite at all of our shows, so make sure to check it out on Saturday, 4/18 and Sunday, 4/19!
