Get Ready for The Mayor's 2013 Snapper Derby

Attention, Glen Cove’s young anglers: start honing your fishing skills. The Mayor’s Snapper Derby is Saturday, at Pryibil Fishing Pier.

Mayor Ralph V. Suozzi invites children ages 6-16 years old to bring rods and reels along with their love of fishing and meet him at the Pryibil Beach Pier. Registration at the pier will be held only between 8:15-9:30 a.m. Fishing begins 8:30 a.m. and continues until 11:30 a.m. The derby has a Junior Division for children ages 6-10 years old and the Senior Division is for children ages 11-16 years old.

Be sure to stay for the presentation of first, second, and third place trophies to participants in each division, as well as the “Best Angler.”  Winners must be present to claim their prize.  Each child will receive a Glen Cove Mayor’s Snapper Derby t-shirt, hot dog, soda and a raffle ticket for prizes.

This event is held rain or shine and is only open to Glen Cove residents.
