“It’s a terrific day, whether you’re a serious fisherman or you just want to enjoy some fun with your kids. It’s amazing to see entire families enjoying the day on the pond.” said Roland Murphy, president of the Wankinquoah Rod and Gun Club.

A raffle will be held for participants to win prizes such as a Johnson Kayak or a fly fishing lesson. Prizes will also be awarded in multiple categories for adults and juniors.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the Wankinquoah Rod and Gun Club Youth Group. The derby falls on the Massachusetts Free Fishing Weekend, therefore, fishing licenses are not required this year.

New to this year, representatives from the Wareham Harbormaster’s Department will be on hand to discuss boat and water safety with attendees.
