CONCORD - Registration is open now for an exciting day of deep sea fishing off New Hampshire's coast with the Becoming an Outdoors-Woman program.

The trip takes place on June 2. The cost for the day is $95, which includes instruction, bait and rod rental. Participants should bring their own lunch.

Participants must register online at www.nhbow.com. Registration is first-come, first-served and space is limited. All participants must be age 18 or older.

On this popular daylong sea-faring expedition, you'll join Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW) and Let's Go Fishing Program instructors for a chartered day of fishing aboard the Yellowbird out of Hampton. This rugged vessel will take the group about 25 miles offshore to drop lines for groundfish such as haddock and pollock. During the day, you'll learn how to use saltwater fishing rods and reels, how to bait the hook and successfully land a fish. You'll also learn how to identify saltwater fish. Helpful mates will filet your catch on the way back to the dock. No experience is necessary, and a saltwater fishing license is not required.
