Welcome to the Hackensack Childrens Fishing Contest.  This is Minnesota's LARGEST Children's Fishing Contest.  It runs every Tuesday from June 8 through August 24, 2010 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, 6-10, 11-15).  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.
