We are a few days away from our first Kids Fishing Derby from 2 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, July 28.
The message channel on
our local cable and Gant Daily have been advertising it for about a month now.
My wife and I are expecting around 100 kids to show up.
The membership has
been working very hard to get ready for this event by cutting brush, mowing,
weed eating and supplying items for the derby.
So far we have had 10 fishing
rods, 2 sleeping bags and a youth fishing vest donated by club members for
prizes. Tom Noble has ordered 30 dozen night crawlers for the event and many
members, and wives, have committed to come and help.
There are quite a few
areas opened up around the pond for easy access to the better fishing areas.
Because of the size and numbers of largemouth bass in the pond, we are
going to allow a few to be taken out to give the smaller fish a chance to
grow.
I want to thank the membership for the help they have given to the
club for the kids and I know it will be a great time for all.
