Registration for the free event will begin at 9 a.m. at the north end beach near the Ocean City-Longport bridge. Parents or guardians will be asked to sign a waiver for insurance purposes before their children can participate. Each child must bring his or her own fishing gear and bait. Fishing starts at 10 a.m and ends at noon followed by an awards presentation. The tournament has three age categories: 8-10, 11-12, and 13-16 years old, with a boys’ and girls’ division in each grouping. Parents can help those 8-10 years old cast, but those youngsters have to do their own fishing after that. Three anglers who catch the most fish in each age category will win a rod and reel. The boy and girl who land the biggest fish overall will receive bicycles and trophies. OCFC members will be on hand to measure fish caught to determine winners, as well as give expert advice. The event will be held rain or shine. http://oceancityfishingclub.com/
