This April 19th day was chilly with a few sun breaks, but the banks of the pond - located between Poulsbo Elementary and Poulsbo Middle schools, was lined with kids and parents, or grandparents.
Our club not only has a bunch of fishing poles kids may use, but also offers services such as attaching a hook on a line (as Lion John MacDonald is doing above for 7-year-old Regan Vincent), teaching a kid how to cast, explaining what a bobber is, and putting bait on the hook. Worms and power bait was available to everyone.
Lion Chuck Weaver brought his granddaughter, Hanna, to fish. She caught this on her first cast!
North Kitsap High School freshman Thorne measures and cleans fish for kids like Lorenzo, above. This fish was 16" long - the biggest catch of the day.
Lion Pat Olsen and his wife, Jessica, were able to enjoy the event after Pat worked so hard to clean brush from around the pond last week.
Lion Lynnea Heerman brought her camera and little dog to the event.
