ALEXANDRIA, Va. (October 30, 2013) —With the summer heat simmering down, fall is the ideal time to get outside and enjoy a day on the water. The Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation’s (RBFF) Take Me Fishing™ campaign offers five reasons for beginners to get out and try fishing and boating in Autumn.
“Millions of Americans recognize fall as a great time to get out on the water,” said RBFF President and CEO Frank Peterson. “That’s why we encourage those who are already hiking or biking to purchase a tackle box, fishing rod and fishing license, and enjoy all the added benefits of fall fishing and boating too – including the scenic foliage.”
