“1st Annual Max Aitken Academy Bass Fishing Derby”
All students and parents at Max Aitken Academy are encouraged to get some exercise and have some fun during this year’s bass season on the Miramichi. To this end, we are promoting our first annual Bass Fishing Derby at our school. Details are as follows:
When? May 15th-31st– After school hours, evenings and week-ends (parent’s discretion)
Where? Anywhere on the Miramichi River.
Who? All students and parents are encouraged to participate.
Why? Get some exercise, have some family fun, enjoy the outdoors, learn new skills and possibly win our grand prize (fishing gear – rod, reel, tackle and tackle box).
How? Parents will be responsible for organizing, transporting and supervising their children during all fishing excursions.
Some fishing rods and gear are available as “loaners” from the school. To reserve equipment, please call Mr. Donovan @ 627-4080.
Note: For each day of fishing, as well as fish hooked and landed by a student, parents will be asked to verify this information on a tally sheet (attached).
Students will receive ballots at the end of our fishing period for each day fished, as well as each bass hooked and landed. All ballots will go into the grand prize draw that will be held at lunch hour on June 1st.
Cost? There is no cost for students to participate. Also, there is no cost for a fishing license when fishing bass in tidal waters.
Important: Please refer to the on line Fisheries Notice for complete details about the 2017 Bass Fishery.
