KIDS FISHING DERBY

The Annual Kids Fishing Derby sponsored by the Nanticoke River Yacht Club and local businesses will be held on Saturday, August 7th from 9 am to 1 pm. That’s just two Saturdays from now! This event is open to all kids from ages 5 to 16 who must bring a parent or guardian with them in order to participate. Participants will register at the Nanticoke River Yacht Club in the Blades Marina and then proceed as a group to the Seaford River Walk for the Fishing Derby and Casting Contest. An Awards Picnic will follow the Derby back at the Yacht Club. Dozens of prizes will be awarded to participants and there will be door prizes for the adults. The picnic will feature plenty of burgers and hot dogs with all the fixings and sides, including dessert! What a great way to enjoy a morning as a family, and it’s free! Also, don’t forget the group (church, scouts, sports, etc.) competitions
.
Each child must provide his or her own fishing pole and tackle, and at least one parent or guardian must accompany the child throughout the morning’s activities. Bait will be provided by Jerry Taylor, owner of Taylored Tackle. Groups must bring their group leaders. The event is primarily a catch, register and release type of derby. However, if a child wishes to keep their legal catch, they must bring their own cooler and ice.
