Matanzas High School's Pirate Bounty Fishing Club got a boost from the Flagler Sportfishing Club's kids4reel program. On Aug. 29, the FSC donated 40 new rods and reels and $750 for related expenses to the high school club.
The Flagler Sportfishing Club's Deb Marinco, Jeff Murphy and Danny Carter presented the donations to Matanzas Principal Kristin Bozeman, teacher Kim Hall and students from the Pirate Bounty Fishing Club.
Captain Dru Williams of Crescent Watersports was also in attendance and offered to provide fishing charters to selected students during the academic year. FSC representatives said it will continue to provide opportunities for Matanzas students to obtain service hours, participate in local fishing events and learn fishing tips and tricks.
The purpose of the Pirate Bounty Fishing Club, said Hall, "is to give every student the opportunity to get outside and have fun fishing, while stressing the importance of conservation, regulations and ethical fishing practices."
