21st Annual Take-A-Kid-Fishing Day

Harbor Docks Charities is hosting the 21^st Annual Take-A-Kid-Fishing Day on Sunday, November 1^st, 2015.  Last year many area children spent a glorious day fishing aboard 57 of Destin’s finest charter boats.  This year we have 350 openings for kids that don’t often get the chance to fish in the beautiful waters around Destin including the Gulf of Mexico and Choctawhatchee Bay.  Off duty policemen and firemen from Destin and Fort Walton Beach as well as other Harbor Docks Charities Volunteers will be the chaperones on these professional charter boats.

            Reservations for this free fishing trip are being accepted until the slots are filled.  This is for children from 7 to 13 years old. To make a reservation or get additional information call Harbor Docks at 837-2506 and ask for Jackie or Becky, from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM Monday thru Friday.  Pre-registration is required.

            RESERVATIONS WILL BE TAKEN BEGINNING ON THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1^st.  You can call or fax your reservation and include each child’s name along with their parent’s name, phone number, and child’s age.  For Group Reservations, we can fax you the parent release form upon request that will need to be completed by the parent of each child participating.

            Sign-in for the boat assignments will begin at 7 AM.  PLEASE DON'T FORGET THE DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME CHANGE.  We’ll meet at Harbor Docks Restaurant on The Big Deck for a breakfast of orange juice and donuts, board the boats at 8 AM, and return at 12:30 PM.  All kids will receive their t-shirt, fishing rod and reel and enjoy a family fish fry.
