The 2024 Prescott Community Club Fishing Contest is a success!

PRESCOTT – Everyone had fun at the 27th^th Prescott Community Club’s annual children’s fishing contest on Saturday, June 1st. The young anglers and their friends arrived early to find the best fishing spots. The rain held off long enough for the 82 participants to register and fish. It was great to see the children bring their fish to be weighed with lots of smiles. Plop, plop, plop went the floats in the water from 9 to 11 a.m.

The Boy Scouts sold hot dogs and refreshments. Thank you, Boy Scouts, for your participation over the last 27 years! Our weigh-in team of Jason Brazzale and Matt Frey had their hands full, catching and weighing over 50 fish in total. Brazzale and his high school fishing team held a fishing clinic. Everyone received a fishing shirt.

The winners were as follows:

• Age 4 and under, first place, Bradley Stelter with a 1.72 pound smallmouth bass and second place, Caiden Stelter with a .83 pound smallmouth bass
• 5-8 years old, first place Vivian Johnson with a 4.35 pound Redhorse and second place Robert Gregor Jr. with a 2.66 pound Sheep Head

• 13 years and older, First place: Grant Riebe with a 2.31 pound largemouth bass and Second place: Wyatt Ramsey with a 2.16 pound largemouth bass.

Prizes were awarded to each young angler. There was also the popular adult raffle for families and friends. All first place winners received a new rod/reel combination and the second place winners received a fishing box.
