School of Sportfishing at Pier 66
The School of Sportfishing at Pier 66 is an immersive, sportfishing educational program preparing anglers of all experience levels and ages for an on-the-water adventure with Hammer Yachts. Participants will get the chance to expand their knowledge on topics in the classroom with IGFA instructors, including knot tying, bait rigging, species ID, gear and tactics, and IGFA angling rules in a classroom setting at Pier 66 Hotel and Marina. Then, you will have the opportunity to put all of these newfound skills to the test on board the HammerCatch in collaboration with Hammer Yachts.
