Treasure Coast Tackle's Take a Kid Fishing Photo Contest

At Treasure Coast Tackle, we believe it is important to take a kid fishing. Why? Not only is it fun, but it's a great way to spend quality time with a child. Fishing is also a perfect opportunity to educate children about taking care of our environment and using our resources wisely. Another great reason to take a kid fishing is that it's a physical activity outdoors...away from all of the electronics and technology, which can be quite relaxing.

RULES:

  • Picture must be of a child (under 16 years of age) and also contain a fish in the picture OR a fishing pole (where it is obvious they were fishing).
  • Only send ONE picture of your child; the only exception is if you have more than one child, then you may send one photo of each child and we will put them together in a "picstitch".
  • Picture must be submitted by someone 16 years of age or older and include the first name of the person submitting the photo and relationship to the child (son, daughter, brother, sister, nephew, niece, friend, etc.).
  • Picture must be emailed to ejouppi@gmail.com by 11:59 p.m. EST Thursday, 09-05-13.
  • All pictures will be posted in an album titled "TCT's Take a Kid Fishing Photo Contest" on Friday morning, 09-06-13.
  • After the pictures are posted, you may then start sharing the picture and having friends and family "like" your photo.  The photo with the most "likes" by 9:00 p.m. EST on Sunday, 09-15-13 wins!

PRIZES:


Taking a child really is a fun, rewarding experience and it builds lasting memories.  After all, have you ever seen pictures in frames of kids playing video games?

July Jensen Beach / Stuart Fishing Report

July has been a great month of fishing. The trout bite has really picked up with multiple fish over the 25 inch mark being caught. They have been dialed in on the Unfair Lures Rip-N-Slash or the D.O.A. Shrimp. The majority of the trout have been on the flats with the exception of one or two being caught underneath docks.


















The snook bite has also been exceptional, the first hour or sunrise, or the last hour or sunset, they can be found cruising open water around the mullet pods which seem to be everywhere this time of year. Towards the end of the month, Ryan landed his personal best snook at 42 inches and 30 pounds on the Unfair Lures Rip-N-Slash. If you are looking for snook more towards midday, try underneath docks or on any of the pipes that may be pushing out of the water from the mangroves.



For those of you down south, the peacock bass fishing has also been fantastic. We met up with Adam of Reel-Deal Adventures and Derek from Outdoor Performance Apparel and put a beat down on the peacock bass, landing nearly 30 peacocks in 3 hours. Most of the fish were up to hit the Unfair Lures Rip-N-Slash but some of the more picky fish were caught on live bait.



July was great and hopefully August will be even better!
