The fun starts on Saturday, June 17 at the Manasquan Reservoir in Howell, with a hands-on fishing clinic from 12:30pm-1:30pm. During the clinic, Park System staff will cover how to cast and rig and will answer questions.  Then the fishing derby will be held from 2:00pm-5:00pm.

On Sunday, June 18, the action moves to Turkey Swamp Park, Freehold. Once again, a free hands-on fishing clinic will be held from 12:30pm-1:30pm, followed by the fishing derby from 2:00pm-5:00pm.

Prizes will be awarded each day for the longest fish in three different categories.  Anglers can bring their own fishing pole or rent one for $5.  The cost of each day of the fishing derby is $25 per family of four or $8 per person.  A container of worms is included with each registration.  Pre-registration is suggested; walk-ins are welcome.  On-site registration is cash or check only.
