PHOTO GALLERY: Sarasota Yacht Club Minnows

It's ten in the morning on a Sunday, and instead of sitting inside watching cartoons on T.V., the Sarasota Yacht Club Minnows hit the docks. The new club met for its first time on Sunday, Jan. 13, but will meet on a monthly basis because it seems most of the kids are hooked. Yacht Club employees Amanda Holm and Camille Bienvenue led the children's fishing group. They fished off of the dock, catching their fish using live shrimp as bait and releasing it shortly after.
