The East Ascension Sportsmens League's Kids Fishing Rodeo returns July 31 after the pandemic canceled last year's event.<\/p>\n
This will be the Sportsmen's League's 60th fishing rodeo.<\/p>\n
The free fishing tournament is open to children ages 2 to 14, and will be at Twin Lakes Mobile Estates at 37313 La. 74, Geismar.<\/p>\n
Registration begins at 6:30 a.m. and fishing is from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m.<\/p>\n
Children will need a cane pole or a rod and reel, and they should bring their own live bait since only a limited supply of crickets will be available. No artificial lures are allowed for the competition.<\/p>\n
Twice daily we'll send you the day's biggest headlines. Sign up today.<\/p>\n
Children will also need a bucket to hold the fish they catch. Parents need to bring lawn chairs, hats and plenty of sunscreen.<\/p>\n
Doughnuts will be available at sign-in and jambalaya, hot dogs and beverages will be served after the fishing.<\/p>\n
The fishing competition is judged by age groups, gender and assorted categories, with lots of prizes and trophies, so no child will leave the tournament empty-handed.<\/p>\n
Organizers said in a news release that the group and its long list of sponsors hold the event to \"spread the joy of fishing to the next generation.\"<\/p>\n
