Kids Fishing Excursion?

[poohbear2]

Did anyone have their DD or DS participate in this program? I understand it is at POR. What is the price? How long is the program? Any other info that you know about this trip would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!

I hadn't heard about this before... but I'd be interested in the answer!

Me too. We are going Nov 23- 28 and my DH and 2 DS would love this. I'll try to research it. Thanks

Oh, oh, I know the answer to this one!

DS went on a fishing excursion that left from WL when we stayed there last summer--he loved it! He caught six fish (they stock the fish, I believe, though could be wrong there) and the men who took out the kids (both boys and girls) were really great. The kids all got along quite well, according to the man in charge. It cost $28.75 and I'm planning on having him go again if he'd like in August (I'm sure he'll jump at the chance).

At POR, I know there is a fishing spot where you can rent a pole, etc., and stand on the pier to fish, but this is different than the fishing excursions (though that's probably fun, too).

For more info, go here:

and scoot down to the 'Junior Fishing Excursions' section.

It says that the trips are an hour long, but DS's trip was longer than that. The man said that he only starts the hour once they get to their fishing spot, and he didn't count time for drinks (which he brought along), and he doesn't leave until everyone's caught 'enough fish.'

I knew about the POR and the cane pole fishing. My DS's did that last year. They were bummed because they did not catch anything. We did see a lot of fish, apparently they were not hungry.

I never knew of the fishing excursion for kids,though. We just came back from WDW a few weeks ago and if I would have known, I would have set that up. The boys love their fishing. I will have to write this down for next year.

I just love this boards! There is always good info.
