The Bay de Noc Great Lakes Sport Fishing club will host it's annual Kids Fishing Derby in Ludington Park on Sunday, July 24th. Registration starts at 10am (look for the big red club trailer,) with fishing to last from 11am to 2pm. Kids should bring their own bait and tackle (rods will be provided for those that don't have one.) Lots of fun and tons of prizes for the kids. See you there.
what is the age limit?
Kids up to age 16 can fish.
Did a little snooping around the harbor yesterday afternoon. Caught a 17 inch largemouth bass at the harbor mouth on a plastic worm. That one could have been easily caught by somebody fishing from shore. The club trailer is located near the L dock. I caught several perch, sunfish, and rockbass on a small jig tipped with a piece of worm, fishing close to the docks. The kids should do alright as long as the weather holds.

Did they have a good turnout Sunday? My wife and kids were out of town, otherwise we would have definitely been there. I can't say enough good things about this great program the Fishing Club puts on.
