Kids' Trip
Captain Si believes there's nothing better than taking a kid fishing! On these kids' trips Captain Si usually tries to catch something cool right off the bat, and if that doesn't pan out he'll slide over to one of his honey holes where the kids can catch something cast after cast. These trips are all about the kid's unique fishing experience. Adults are welcomed to fish too, but the kids are the priority.
