One of Recfishwest's objectives is to promote recreational fishing as a healthy activity which all the family can enjoy.

We are often approached by mums, dads and people who are taking up fishing for the first time who are not sure which gear or tackle is most suitable to their needs, how to tie knots or how to maintain their rod and reel.

A Talking Tackle workshop will be held at the Recfishwest offices in Waterman on Wednesday evening at 7pm Wednesday 5 September 2007.

Other topics covered are;
· Essential items for your tackle box
· Fishing from rocks and safety - what to look out for
· Basic fish biology
· Being SunSmart - recreational fishers have some of the highest incidences of skin cancer
· The importance of fishing as a family activity

Recfishwest Executive Director, Frank Prokop and "Hotbite" columnist, Kane Moyle will be on hand to answer all your questions. Frank has written 13 books on fishing and articles published right around Australia and the United States.

Entry fee is $22.00 per person and will entitle you to a year's membership with Recfishwest and be kept informed about issues affecting recreational fishing. Each participant will also receive a small tackle pack, sunscreen and be in the draw to win other prizes.

Register your interest in a Recfishwest Talking Tackle Workshop and you will learn all of the above and more.

We can also cater a workshop for your workplace as a fun, professional development exercise.
