#Giveaway: Enter to #win a $100 Bass Pro gift card and Take Me Fishing prize pack

We are a very outdoorsy family…we love to camp, hike and just spend time outside enjoying nature.  Our neighborhood actually offers quite a nice lake for us to kayak on and 2  years ago we finally got the kids fishing poles and tried fishing for the first time.  It was an interesting experience and one that we still laugh about because my husband is a bit squeamish about taking things OFF the hook and was terrified that we would catch one of the snapping turtles that live in there and he would have to figure out a way to release it without losing a finger!  But, that day, the turtles stayed away and my daughter caught a fish on her very first outing!  She was SO proud but also a bit hesitant to actually touch the critter on the end of her pole!

Ours is just a catch and release type of lake but I like the fact that my kids are learning a life skill that may one day help them feed themselves. And by taking them out fishing I hope that they gain a greater appreciation of nature.  By purchasing a fishing licence, did you know that you are helping preserve your environment?  A portion of the proceeds brought in through the sale of fishing licences actually goes towards numerous conservation efforts!

On our last fishing trip my son had an unfortunate fishing pole incident and it is no longer functional so we headed over to Bass Pro to pick up a new one.  Wow, was I amazed with all the options!  They also have tons of lures, accessories and how to books so if you are new to fishing you can pick up some reading material to help get you started!  Fishing with family can be a wonderful way to spend the day together!

Right now, the Take Me Fishing campaign wants to encourage you to take the Angler’s Legacy Pledge and take one new person fishing this year.  By taking this pledge and spreading the love of fishing you will be helping  to protect, conserve and restore our nation’s aquatic natural resources. So, take the pledge and become an Angler’s Legacy Ambassador!  What exactly does this pledge ask of you? 

As an Anglers’ Legacy Ambassador,
I pledge to share my love of fishing
with at least one new person each year;
to pass on traditional skills and earned knowledge;
to pay forward the thrill of fishing
with friends and family,
my love of the great outdoors and my
commitment to a healthy environment;
and to give back what someone once gave me -
the special gift of fishing.

We decided that taking our Thanksgiving company fishing would be a great way to spend my son’s birthday.  He loved his new fishing pole and we had high hopes for our outing.  This time, the fish were too smart and other than a few nibbles, we didn’t hall in anything.  However, even without catching anything, it was still a great afternoon. Next time we are going to head to the lake earlier…I think they bite better in the morning!

Check out the Take Me Fishing webpage!  You can get special Ambassador privileges, including discounts, competitions to win prizes, and a unique e-newsletter. Designed exclusively for Ambassadors, it features conservation facts, information about boating and fishing hotspots across the country, Ambassador-submitted content and special event promotions.
