All participants will receive their own rod, reel and bait. Trophies will be awarded to the boy and girl with the biggest fish, smallest fish, most fish and the one with the most unusual catch.
A variety of door prizes will be given away at the end of the event. The grand prize will be a $400 half day fishing charter with Captain Russ Walker.
