Practice your casting skills without needing a boat or even real fish in this beach-based, hook-free fishing game. This program is perfect for those that are new to fishing but aren't sure where to start. Our rangers will show you how to cast, how to hook these plastic bass, and how to reel in the big one. This game isn't just for beginners though; practice the perfect cast or challenge your friends to a mini fishing tournament.

There is no actual fishing during this activity.
