Kids Day

Kid’s Fishing Clinic – October 3, 2026

Come join us on the beautiful Grand Lagoon on Saturday, October 3, 2026, for our annual Kid’s Fishing Clinic!

All children are invited to fish from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. We will provide all necessary bait, rods, and reels.
Each participating child will also go home with their very own rod and reel, courtesy of
Tarpon Dock Seafood and Half Hitch Tackle.

It will be a fun family day on the docks where children can learn how to fish, bait hooks, and tie knots.
All participants will receive free raffle tickets for exciting prize giveaways every 30 minutes during the event.
