MCB hosted their annual Kids Casting Contest at the Greater Philadelphia Outdoor Sportshow located at the Oaks Expo Center in Oaks, PA. Over 125 boy's and girl's, ages 7 to 10 and 11 to 14, competed in a flipping, pitching, and casting contest. The kid's were provided identical closed-face spinning combos and were taught by club members the art of casting a 3/8 ounce jig to a target area for points. 

The top three individual point totals within the two age brackets won Penn Rod and Reel Combos, Penn Spinning Reels, and Tackle Boxes as prizes. In addition, fishing hats and plastic fishing lures were provided to all the kids that registered to compete in the casting contest. As an additional bonus, eight children won a Penn or Shimano Spinning Reel which were provided by our gracious sponsors as door prizes during the course of the contest. 

A special thank you goes out to all our sponsors. Because of their gracious support, every child walked away with a smile on their face and the anticipation of catching the "BIG ONE"!

Here is a nice letter sent to the club from Christine Murphy, mother of Nick Murphy (pictured above with the catfish) who won 1st place in the 11 to 14 age group.

My son Nick won the casting competition yesterday, and I just want to say thank you to all the volunteers who made yesterday possible.

He won a fishing pole and I won something more -- when he got home, he didn't want to play xbox.  He sat on the chair with his fishing pole practicing the new technique that you taught him.  He was sitting there on the gliding chair, a basket a few feet away just practicing practicing....  That was a very good thing.

So, thank you to all who helped.

Thanks so much,

Christine Murphy

Kids were provided the opportunity to learn how to flip, pitch and cast as demonstrated by MCB club members and they competed among two age brackets for prizes and awards.
A special thanks goes out to our club sponsors, Toyota, Dicks Sporting Goods, Penn Fishing Reels, Mercury Marine, Wave Worms, and Interstate Batteries, who graciously provided support to further help teach kids the desire to fish.
