The city of Glen Cove will once again be putting together its Annual Mayor’s Snapper Derby. The morning event encourages children to get some experience fishing while potentially winning some fun prizes.
The summertime event is a yearly fixture along the sunny pier at Pryibil Beach. Notably the catches hauled in have varied extensively from year to year, with last year only bringing in a grand total of four fish among the 75 participants. It is nonetheless considered a valuable fishing experience for young anglers, providing a first fishing experience for many of Glen Cove’s children.
The event is divided into junior and senior divisions. Children are required to bring a rod and reel, but bait and tackle will be provided. The fishing is open all morning, and prizes will be awarded by the mayor to the first and second biggest fish of any kind - not just snapper - caught in each division. Aside from the prizes, participants will also receive a free hot dog and beverage as well as a few Promotional Products including a t-shirt and a fishing accessories.
The Mayor’s Snapper Derby will be held on August 27 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Pryibil Beach Pier, located on Eastland Dr. Cost for participation is free. Anyone interested in obtaining more information should contact the city directly.
