The annual Big Brother / Big Sister fishing event took place at Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge on June 23, 2007 at the Morris Island Visitor Center.  Refuge Manager Michael Brady greeted 25 pairs of Big and Little Brothers and Sisters, all from Boston.  The day was filled with many new adventures, as most of the Little Brothers and Sisters had never been to the ocean.  Refuge manager  Brady and intern Sharon Ackland took the children for a nature walk along the Morris Island Trail and stopped to tag horseshoe crabs along the waters edge.  The group then joined Juro Mukai and the volunteers from the Flyfishing Forum who assisted the children on the finer points of fishing for striped bass.  A local ferry service, Rip Ryder, volunteered free shuttle rides for all participants.  The day ended with an awards ceremony at the refuge visitor center.
