Need Help: Kids Fishing Derbies in Central NJ

[FASTEDDIE29]

The Newark Bait and Fly Casting Club sponsors this event. You can register this saturday between 8am and 2pm by the gazebo. Contest starts this saturday and goes til May 2nd. I think every kid gets some kind of gift bag for entering. Google Echo Lake fishing derby, Mountainside. All the info you need is on the web!

I know there is a derby this weekend in Harding township at Bayne park and another one at the end of this month in Chatham township called Fishawack or something like that.

Fish it up.

I didn't receive a PM or email from you bud. I'll just reccomend getting there early to get a good spot along the wall. They stock some hefty fish like Browns, throw some phoebes and shiny spinners at them, hopefully you'll hook into a monster. If it's too crowded I cross the creek and fish the other side, not sure how old your kids are. Sometimes fishing the other side gives you a leg up once everyone starts casting and scaring the already skiddish Trout away. Good luck out there!
