Saturday, August 28 from 10:30 until 12:30 is the Kids Day on the Pier at the Marin Rod & Gun Club.
Kids 6-15 are eligible to participate and there will be ten age group winners with each receiving a trophy and a copy of my book. Loaner rods and reels will be available as well as free bait. After the event there will be a hot dog lunch, the announcement of the winners, and a raffle in which every youngster should be able to walk away with a rod and reel.
Adults accompanying the kids are not expected to fish although some usually do after the event is over (and a license is required). Given that the end of the pier is closed, the pier may be a little more crowded than usual.
There have been a few changes:
They are asking anyone who is bringing children to register them by the 21st and I am suggesting registering them below by the 20th. I can then call in the names. They need to know the numbers so that they can plan the food, bait, and finalize the details for the after-fishing program.
Given the Covid restrictions the typical awards meeting in the large hall will probably not happen. Lunches will probably be eaten outside, the awards made outside, and kids will go into the hall one at a time to choose their raffle prizes. Last I heard they will not require masks outside.
It will be a little different than past derbies but it simply reflects the current situation.
Sign up below if bringing a youngster. Thanks.
