A Free Day of Fishing and Family Fun

This community tradition offers a full day of outdoor fun for anglers of all ages. Whether you're an experienced fisherman or casting a line for the first time, everyone is welcome and no fishing license is required during the event. This event is held annually in honor of Gonzalo Garcia Sr., and I think that is a very lovely tribute.

Free Activities, Lunch, and Giveaways

Families can enjoy free activities throughout the day, and a complimentary lunch will be available while supplies last. The lake will be freshly stocked with catfish, giving participants an even better chance to reel in a great catch.

Be sure to arrive early! The first 500 adults and first 500 children will receive a free swag bag filled with event goodies.
