The Rotary Club of Los Alamitos and Seal Beach, in association with the Seal Beach Lion’s Club and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, will host the 28th Annual Kid’s Fishing Derby on the Pier on August 17.
The registration is free and will be open from 7 to 9 a.m., according to a spokesman for the event. In addition, the Lions Club of Seal Beach will provide a free pancake breakfast for all derby registrants. Registration is open to all youth up to 15-years old.
There will be free bait for everyone fishing in the tournament and the Boy Scouts will be on hand to assist the participants. This is a catch and release event, so all fish will be released after proper documentation and weighing.
The fishing derby begins at 7:30 a.m. and will last until noon. There will be trophies and prizes for the largest fish.
Sponsors include: Southland Credit Union, Sir Speedy, New Fishall Bait Company, Ganahl Lumber, Performance Tackle, Seal Beach Police Foundation and Sport Fish Restoration.
