Armitage has been teaching youth anglers for years with his Kids Fishing Fun seminars as he travels the country during winter months.

“I present the Kids Fishing Fun program to offer children – and the adults who bring them to the show – the basic skills and knowledge they need to try fishing when they get a chance,” Armitage says. “Fishing is a non-competitive, outdoor activity that they can enjoy alone, with the family or group of friends, and a sport they can engage in for the rest of their lives. I demonstrate the use of simple tackle and live baits to show the audience how to fish from shore for easy-to-catch fish species and then end the program with a child actually doing that: catching a fish!”

To back-up his expertise, Armitage holds a degree in education from The Ohio State University and led Ohio’s Hooked on Fishing, Not on Drugs educational program for the Ohio Division of Wildlife when it kicked off nationally a decade ago. In addition, Armitage is a full-time freelance outdoors and boating writer and syndicated outdoor radio host.

Cincy-area show-goers can tune in to his weekly radio show, Buckeye Sportsman with Dan Armitage,  Saturdays from 6-7 a.m. on WQRT, 1160-AM. For more info about Dan and his programs, visit www.buckeyesportsman.net.

    Fishing is an awesome outdoor activity for the family. Outdoor adventures are great vacations for the family. It is an awesome way to be active and have fun. There are many different activities to try.

    Too many folks have already thrown away plenty of good money on nothing but
    useless salt tablets being shipped from South America. In fact, I always suggest to those
    overweight vegetarians to keep to a max of 4 pounds a week
    so you won’t suffer loose skin post weight loss. Many people don’t have the time to weight themselves every day, but checking the scale on a regular basis can definitely help when you’re working to lose weight and keep it off.

    This would of course depend on how old the children are.
    However, antivirus problems like Avast often conflict with Real
    – Arcade games due to the following error or virus detection:.
    In the game, players should be able to able to make use of a slingshot in order
    to start the birds.

    That’s like Houston Texas being without a Country station. And once you have your own project that you want to promote, you must have considered the radio as one of the best alternatives to introduce your music to the crowds. Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar: The Duke Red Matter (Part One; CBS, 1956)’Abbott Stables’s Duke Red is a thoroughbred destroyed over a serious injury in an accident, and Dollar (Bob Bailey)’asked to review a $65,
    000 insurance claim on the horse’smells trouble when the stable’s business manager
    is dismissed after filing the claim, and its veterinarian may have destroyed
    the horse a little too swiftly.

    This involves setting a line of hundreds,
    or even thousands, of baited hooks near the surface of the ocean to catch bluefin tuna.
    The current Great Lakes record Chinook Salmon, weighing
    47 pounds and 13 ounces, was caught here in 1991.
    However, when you add breadcrumbs or another simple powder to the outside
    of your bait, the fish will immediately get a taste of your bait and
    be more inclined to follow it.

  6. poems says

    What is the most important portion is the sincere words that you put together in the poems that will
    catch the attention of the one you loved as this is what you truly want from the romantic poems that you have created
    for him. Apart from the above said love and poems of war there are other
    genre too. On the other hand children spend most of their
    time with their mothers, who love deeply, scold harshly,
    they worry extremely but in the end they make you what you are.
