Summer is almost here! With the kids out of school you may be asking yourself, “How am I going to keep them busy?” They could sit in front of the TV, or mindlessly play videos games all summer, but I want my kids to get outside and be active. The answer is Backyard Bass.

Backyard Bass are fish shaped casting targets that are used to teach fishing techniques in a fun, hands-on way. The versatile design allows kids to use them on any flat surface – grass, pavement, gym floor, or on the water (they float)! It’s a game and learning experience they can play anywhere.

Backyard Bass are also great for birthday parties, field days at school, and any other event that youth organizations are involved in. With no hooks, the Backyard Bass provides a safe way for kids to play without you having to worry about anyone getting hurt from removing a sharp lure.

Backyard Bass Benefits

How does it work?

1. Place the Backyard Bass on flat ground or float them in a pond.
2. Stand at a comfortable distance and start casting.
3. Snag the Bass and real it in – just like real fishing!

Playing with the Backyard Bass

Single Player Suggestions

Place each Backyard Bass at different distances from you. See how long it takes you to reel them all in by casting for the fish. Assign points to the different colors and see how many points you can accumulate in ten minutes of casting.

Two or Three Player Suggestions

B-A-S-S: Place the Backyard Bass around the yard and have players take turns trying to catch a fish. When one player catches a fish the other players try to catch the fish from the same location in one cast. If the other players don’t catch the fish, they each get a B. Players take turns casting for fish until one player gets all the letters to spell B-A-S-S. The player at the end with the fewest letters wins.

Fishing Derby: Players can assign point values to each color fish. They place the Backyard Bass around the casting area and begin casting for them. The player with the most points at the end of 5 minutes wins.

Race: Place the Backyard Bass at equal distances from each player. Each player casts for the fish as quickly as they can. The first player to reel in a fish wins.

Take it a step further: Stick images of local fish with measurements on the back of each Backyard Bass. Students can then identify what they’ve caught. Is it a keeper?
