Fishing For Success (FFS) is a multifaceted program of the University of Florida that uses fishing and other related activities as the “hook” to introduce children of all ages to various aspects of fisheries and aquatic sciences. The current program began in 1998 with an initial focus of providing mentoring and career counseling to a small group of underprivileged youth, and has constantly evolved to meet the needs of 4-H extension faculty, teachers, youth group leaders, and the community at large.

LICENSE OR PREREGISTRATION NOT REQUIRED.
All activities are catch-and-release. Participants may use our fishing gear and bait or bring their own. Volunteers are on hand to assist novice anglers.
