Keys Kids Fishing Derby

The Islamorada Charter Boat Association presents the 29th Annual Keys Kids Fishing Derby will be held Sunday October 4th at the Lorelei in Islamorada, FL. The derby is for anglers ages 10 and under. There is no charge to enter but anglers must be Monroe County residents. There are three fishing divisions: Shoreline, Backcountry and Offshore and awards for three age divisions, 4 and under, 5-7 and 8-11. There are lots of prizes with winners in all divisions! Sign up early as the first 100 registered anglers are guaranteed ditty bags. Sign up at Tackle Center of Islamorada, at the Lorelei, or you can register on line [www.islamoradacharterboatassociation.com](http://www.islamoradacharterboatassociation.com/). 

Shoreline fishing will be allowed at the Lorelei with waters chummed by Tackle Center of Islamorada. Bait for shoreline anglers will be supplied by Tackle Center of Islamorada and there will be plenty of folks on hand to help bait hooks, tie lines etc. We are requesting that if you have a fishing rod, please bring your own. Fish Florida will be supplying a limited number of rods this year. We want to have enough rods for those who do not have one.  

Pick up your ditty bag and free donuts thanks to Lorelei any time after 7AM. Lines are in at 9AM and weigh in closes promptly at 1PM. Hot dogs and drinks will be supplied compliments of Lorelei. There will be a casting contest starting at 11AM. Mote Marine, Marine Lab, FWC and others will be on property during the day. Key Breeze Engraving awards sponsored by IFACT, Pasta prints and other prizes will be handed out to the winners on the Lorelei beach at 1:45PM. To donate to help defray costs, please make checks to the Islamorada Charter Boat Association, a 501-c-3 organization, and mail to P.O.
