Dozens of local children and families take part in successful ‘Teach A Kid To Fish Day’

Sunday, June 25, 2023

(June 26, 2023) The Ocean Pines Anglers Club hosted a successful "Teach a Kid to Fish Day" on Saturday, June 17.

The event drew an enthusiastic crowd of more than 60 children, plus their parents and grandparents, to the picturesque South Pond in Ocean Pines.

Participants benefited from the expertise of the Club's seasoned members, who imparted multiple fishing skills to the eager young anglers.

Under the guidance and supervision of the Anglers Club, the youth had the unique opportunity to put their newfound skills to the test, casting their lines with bait and receiving invaluable instruction.

The event was made possible through the collaborative efforts of the Ocean Pines Anglers Club, the Ocean Pines Recreation and Parks Department, and generous financial support provided by the Ocean City-Berlin Optimist Club.

The Ocean Pines Environment and Natural Assets Committee, as well as the Department of Natural Resources, were also present during the event, ensuring that participants received a comprehensive fishing education relevant to their surroundings.

The Club would like to recognize event chairperson Lee Phillips, as well as Anglers Club member Dave Hammond, who donated a custom rod and reel for a prize drawing during the event. Adam Rasch won the prize drawing.

Looking ahead, the Anglers Club will next host the Art Hansen Memorial Youth Fishing Contest on July 15 at the South Gate Pond in Ocean Pines.

Free registration starts at 8:30 a.m. and the event is scheduled to run from 9-10:30 a.m. Trophies and prizes will be awarded across three different age groups.

Bait and water will be provided. Participants should bring their own rod and bug spray.
