Pink Minnows: A Girls-Only Fishing Club

Held at the Manasquan Inlet near Carlson’s Corner, this empowering experience teaches participants how to bait, cast, and catch with confidence. From first-timers to future pros, every girl is supported, celebrated, and encouraged to grow through hands-on learning and outdoor adventure.
