2011 Season: Every Tuesday from June 7 - August 23, 2011
from 11am to 1pm, prizes awarded after 1pm

Welcome to the Hackensack Childrens Fishing Contest.  This is Minnesota's LARGEST Children's Fishing Contest.  It runs every Tuesday from June 7 through August 23, 2011 from 11am to 1pm, prizes awarded after 1pm; so stick around.  We offer prizes for First, Smallest (in inches), Largest (in ounces or pounds) and Most fish in each of 3 age categories (0-5, 6-9, 10-15).  There are always free hot dogs, pop and nightcrawlers for bait (or food if you're really hungry).  We have Minnow Races and a Casting Contest that starts at the blast of Hackensack's noon whistle blow, both with nice prizes for the winners.  Come down any and every Tuesday to take advantage of a great day fishing with your son or daughter.

Life Jackets and pole are required, but we do have a few you can borrow if you don't have any or forgot them on a first come, first served basis.  We also sell Photo Buttons and T-Shirt transfers (for a nominal fee) so you can forever remember this wonderful event. 

Yearly Totals for 2011:

     Kids - 1160     Fish - 3948 (caught and released)

    Over 4000 hot dogs and around 225 two liter bottles of soda have been consumed.

No one went away hungry.
