As some of you guys know, I teach biology and use incentives to motivate students. I always take the top kids fishing or camping. The students know I am an offshore fisherman as well and they are constantly asking me to tell them stories. One kid went to Cabo for Christmas and caught some football yft and loved it. Most can't afford this type of trip, so I started thinking about a Gulf coast trip for snapper or kings. However, my boat can't make the voyage offshore, therefore, I have a proposal.

Would someone be willing to take a small group of students fishing this summer? Here are the incentives and disclaimers:

The school's insurance would cover any accident.

You could write off the trip as a tax deduction.

You would be turning on a high school student to offshore fishing.

You get a good feeling by doing this.

I know it is asking a lot and I am not put out in the slightest by someone turning down the offer. It would be great if I could organize two boats. I would like to offer a trip to the top four average high grades for the year and another to the top four percentage increases in grades for the year. This way it gives the students with Cs an incentive to work harder and the top students an incentive to beat the others. This would have to be off Texas. Any takers?
