Jerry Davis: Kids take center stage in Sauk City fishing tournament
The idea of a youngster taking an adult fishing started about 16 years ago, according to Wally Banfi, an employee, at Wilderness Fish and Game in Sauk City.
“Parents are busy, so the idea was to have their child ask, ‘Dad, would you take a minute and take me fishing,’ ” Banfi said of the sports shop’s event to help sponsor a fishing event open to teams with at least one angler who is under 16 years of age.
“It’s to get kids involved in a fun activity,” said Tom Lockner, owner of Wilderness Fish and Game, a business started by his grandparents years ago. “It’s about spending quality time together. We do it in the spirit of getting families out fishing and getting the next generation of conservationists.”
The July 26 event begins with a mandatory briefing at 6 a.m. at the shop and concludes with a weigh-in at 2 p.m. in the parking lot.
Each entry must provide a phone number so the participants can be called if they don’t return at “closing time.”
Entry forms are available on Wilderness Fish and Game Web page, http://www.wildernessfishgame.com, and should be turned in by July 19.
Each team must consist of an adult and at least one child under the age of 16. Fishing is permitted anywhere in the area, with six fish categories, including trout, walleye, bass, panfish, rough fish and catfish.
Prize trophies for first, second and third place, and a rod and reel, are given to the young angler with the heaviest fish.
“In past years we have had 200-300 anglers and about 100 boats, but anglers can fish from a boat or from shore, too,” Banfi said. “The purpose for this free event is to promote a healthy life style, so tobacco and alcohol are not permitted during the event.”
“It’s a pretty sweet time, lots of smiling faces and high-fives,” Lockner said.
The event has several major sponsors, including Arlington Agronomy, Ballweg Chevrolet/Ford, Becker Law Office, Larry Zins Memorial Fishing Tournament and Wilderness Fish and Game.
