Coaches and Volunteers Needed!

You can not believe how much fun it is to be part of this team. We had a great inaugural year. Now we are looking to make it better and we need your help.  We promise you will have fun and wont be disappointed.  The fishing industry is 100% behind building up the High School fishing and they are helping our teams by participating with our teams and inviting us to industry events.  It is crazy the support we receive. Just a great experience to be part of!


  We are planning our 2018 season and want to give back more to the anglers, sponsors, team, and community.  In order to accomplish this we are looking for volunteers, coaches and boat captains. We have a variety of needs that can fit into your time schedule. If you have any interest let us know and we would like to add your email to our database.  We will keep you informed by sending out team updates, local fishing opportunities, meetings, events, and tournaments.   We will soon be publishing our 2018 schedule so plans can be set up well in advance.   

Thank you for considering!
