Kids of all ages who are able to hold their own fishing pole may participate in the free annual ‘Ding’ Darling Kids Fishing Derby on Saturday, Nov. 28, 2015. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. on the causeway, and ages 15 and younger start fishing at 9 a.m. and finish at 11 a.m. Awards ceremony is at 11:30. Judges will record catches during the session. They will award winners in two age groups: 10 to 15, and 9 and younger. Based upon total inches of fish caught, the Refuge will award first, second, and third place prizes, plus awards for the largest and smallest fish hooked in both age categories. Participants should bring fishing poles, but a limited number of loaner poles will be available. Throughout the day, volunteers and staff will teach fishing skills and safe, ethical fishing practices and will engage children in fish crafts. For information visit dingdarlingsociety.org or call 239-472-1100 ext. 237.
