Huntington Beach : City Invites Children to Enter Fishing Contest
Children 6 to 14 have been invited to participate in Huntington Beach’s 35th annual fishing contest Thursday off the city pier.
About 150 children are expected to attend the event, said Bob Thrall, senior supervisor for community services in Huntington Beach. Children are invited to dress as Huckleberry Finn and Becky Thatcher. Those with the best costumes will win a rod and reel from the Tackle Box, a co-sponsor, he said.
Prizes will also be offered for the largest fish, the smallest fish and the most variety of fish caught, Thrall said.
Free registration is at the pier before the 9 a.m. contest.
