I guess they had some cancellations? According to Suzanne they were booked out several weeks ago and had a waiting list going.

Yes, she sent me an email yesterday, that 8 had cancelled & no one was on the waiting list.

This makes me wish I was a teenager again. Not the only reason, but high on the list!

It's a great event for the youngsters! Mark B. graciously volunteers his own time every year to help out with this and act as liaison between NJF&W and the National Teen Anglers organization. Just one of the many selfless, un-compensated things he and our other fisheries biologists do year after year!
I'll have my grandson there again this year and he is definitely excitedly looking forward to it!

Thanks for the head's up Mark!
Got Bubba registered yesterday for it, he's super excited to hit that lake
makes me real happy, since we havent gotten out on the water as much as I'd like with baseball and softball games, so this will be extra special
anybody else heading up there??
