Fishing with Lions

Kids who fancy a go at fishing, but never get the chance, will have an opportunity to try their hand at landing a catch on Sunday, February 18, when Warkworth Lions hold their annual Take a Kid Fishing Day.

Boats will leave Sandspit Wharf at 9am and return around 12 noon for prizegiving, giveaways, a sausage sizzle and quick fire raffles. Prizes will be awarded for the heaviest, longest and most unusual fish caught, and there will be spot prizes as well.

Take a Kid Fishing is open to children aged 12 and under, and they must be accompanied by an adult.

Lions member and event coordinator Bruce Wilson says the day is a great opportunity to get kids who don’t normally have access to a boat out on the water and trying their luck with a rod and reel.

Pre-registration is compulsory, and forms will be available from Friday, January 19 from Hunting & Fishing, Warkworth, Snells Beach Dive & Fishing, or via email from takeakidfishingwarkworth@gmail.com. Completed forms must be in by Thursday, February 15, and no late entries will be accepted.
