Scene Around: Fishing for Summer Fun & Education

They went fishing for a fun day and reeled in the biggest of catches — a fun, educational day.

On Wednesday, Aug. 10, Immediate Care Medical Walk-In hosted its 7th Annual Kids Fishing Trip.

About 60 children and adults from community organizations Father Time, Frances Foundation and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Monmouth and Middlesex County enjoyed a day of fishing at the Immediate Care Walk-In of Red Bank’s 7th Annual Kids’ Fishing Trip.

A 75-foot charter boat left out of Atlantic Highlands guided by Captain Mike and deckhands, Dee, Zack, and Sissy.

During the excursion, the Immediate Care team showed the kids how to bait their rods, cast and reel in when they got a bite. Members of American Littoral Society, the environmental group headquartered at Sandy Hook, also joined the event to teach the children about the different species of fish and which are tagged and returned to sea due to size.

There was breakfast and lunch at sea and a day full of fluke fishing, learning, fun, prizes and gifts.
