Kids Fishing Day

Young anglers get ready for Kids Fishing Day at Lake Proserpine, which is back for its second year. Promised to be a perfect opportunity for kids to learn fishing tips and tricks, participants can enjoy exciting workshops and try their hand at the Barra Cash Dash.
Last year 250 youngsters turned up to the day, and they expect numbers to be even higher this year with 42 pre-bookings already made by families in the community.
The day starts at 9am, and the organisers have 20 fishing rod sets to give away as well as lots of free ice cream and lots more giveaways. The day has some great sponsors including, Bowen Tackle World, BCF and Sunwater.
The kids will also get the opportunity to release the next generation of Barramundi, with the organisers providing Barramundi Fingerlings.
Local fishing clinic operator, Mudskippa, will also be set up with a range of fishing education and activity stations, offering his best fishing tips and tricks followed by a casting competition at 10:30am.
Craig Turner, Director, Commercial Businesses showed his excitement for the day:
“We've got lots of raffles and lots of prizes, we've got 140 lures to give away!
“What we want to do is make it an annual event where families can come, kids can come.
“It’s also about building the next generation of Fisher people.”
Come cast a line and have a good time!
