SUMMARY:Mosquito Lagoon\, FL 3-Day Fishing Event
DESCRIPTION:Join us in Oak Hill\, FL for a 3-day saltwater fishing event on the Indian River and Mosquito Lagoon. \nPurpose: The event is designed to build meaningful relationships with other outdoorsmen for the purpose of leading them to\, or back to\, Jesus Christ. \nDates: June 20-22\, 2025 \nLodging:  We will be staying at Oak Hill Fish Camp.  Lodging for Friday and Saturday nights is included in the cost. \nThe address for the camp is: 426 E HALIFAX AVE\, OAK HILL\, FL 32759.  The website is located at https://oakhillfishcamp.com/. \nCost: $200 for fishermen\, $100 for volunteers bringing a boat to the event.  This cost includes lodging\, most meals\, t-shirt\, and fishing on volunteers’ boats throughout the event. \nAge restrictions: Minimum age for participants is 16.  All minors must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. \nFishing: Volunteers will be bringing boats to provide fishing opportunities.  Please bring your own tackle.  We expect to be fishing inshore for redfish\, speckled trout\, and snook primarily\, but where and how you fish will be up to the boat owner.  Our volunteer boat owners are paying their way and are not professionals – nor are they licensed guides. No tips are allowed\, but split expenses like gas\, ice\, and bait. Each volunteer boat owner will be assigned a fishing party each day. While we keep fathers and sons together\, usually you will be fishing with people you don’t know. This is done purposefully so please don’t be surprised. \nWe will try to pair volunteer boat owners with parties suitable to their preferred method of fishing\, but please remember to be flexible as this won’t always be possible.  Volunteer boat owners will be introduced to their parties in our meetings. Please see your volunteer boat owner for assistance and/or special needs with regard to fishing. \nMeals: Dinner for Friday and Saturday evening will be provided.  Breakfast for Saturday and Sunday morning will be provided.  For lunch on Saturday\, our plan is to meet up at a local restaurant on the water.  Please bring some cash to cover your lunch. \nGiveaways: If you’d like to donate door prizes or fishing tackle\, please contact Juan Carranza at the phone number listed below. \nRules: \n\nPerfect people are not allowed.

Each fisherman must bring their own rod and reel. Appropriate rods are medium-light to medium action\, 6-7ft long\, either spinning or bait-casting. Monofilament line is typically 12lb test\, braided line is typically 20-30lb test. We recommend that you put fresh line on reels if you haven’t done so recently.\nArtificial bait – Paddle tail-style baits are easy to fish and effective. 3-4’’ models in glow/chartreuse\, limetreuse\, red/white\, and pumpkinseed are the basics. Topwater baits like Super Spook Jr’s or Skitterwalks (white\, chrome\, or black) can be exciting. Gulp shrimp tails fished under a popping cork can also be effective and kid-friendly.  Weedless gold spoons of all sizes are handy while fishing for redfish.\n\nContact info: Please contact Juan Carranza with any questions.  Juan can be reached at 786-719-0511 or disciplelife08@gmail.com. \nSchedule of events: \nFriday:  \n     1:00 PM                     Check-in \n     3:30 PM                     Orientation/safety briefing \n     4:00 PM                     Evening fishing trip \n     8:00 PM                     Dinner/devotion \nSaturday: \n     5:30 AM                     Breakfast/devotion \n     6:30 AM                     Morning fishing trip \n     Noon                           Lunch at a local restaurant \n     2:30 PM                     Afternoon fishing \n     8:00 PM                     Dinner/devotion \nSunday: \n     5:30 AM                     Breakfast \n     6:30 AM                     Morning fishing trip \n     11:00 AM                   Check out \n
