The Winston 4-H Fishing Club had a great first outing for 2024, catching some bass and learning a lot from Mr. John Fair and 4-H volunteer Mr. Odie Keene about bass fishing. Not only did the group get some great fishing tips, but they also got a first-hand demonstration from Mr. Odie on how to use a fillet knife and how to fillet bass and bream.
Mr. Fair talked to the 4-Hers about water chemistry and the importance of maintaining a healthy fish population, and he also provided a fantastic pizza supper for the group. We appreciate the hospitality and, as always, the invitation to enjoy the beautiful family property of the Fair’s.
If you’d like to volunteer or have a young person who’d like to learn from Winton’s finest fishermen, come join us. Contact your local MSU Extension office at 662-773-3091 for more information.
