Community Program
TEACH A KID TO FISH
Creating lifelong anglers, one cast at a time.
Why We Do It
Our Mission
There's nothing quite like the look on a child's face when they feel that first tug on the line. Our Teach A Kid To Fish program introduces the next generation to the joys of angling, the importance of marine conservation, and the beauty of the outdoors.
Through partnerships with Texas Parks & Wildlife and Sea Turtle Island Restoration, we provide hands-on, educational experiences that go beyond just catching fish. Kids learn about local marine life, safe casting techniques, and environmental stewardship — all while enjoying a day on the Gulf alongside families and community members.
Together with Jimmy's on the Pier, we make the outdoors accessible to everyone. Your donations help us provide rods, bait, and expert instruction so every child — regardless of background — can become a lifelong angler.
The Program
How It Works
Four core experiences — designed to turn first-timers into confident young anglers.
Hands-On Casting
Kids learn safe casting techniques on the pier with rods sized for them, supervised by experienced instructors.
Marine Life Education
Learn about Gulf species, what they eat, and how each fish fits into the coastal ecosystem.
Conservation
Understand catch-and-release ethics, marine debris awareness, and why our oceans need protection.
Community & Family
Free events that bring families, volunteers, and partners together on the pier — all skill levels welcome.
