Through its support of the world’s largest youth fishing program, Fisher Boy® will become the official sponsor of the online Derby Locator found on the Kids All-American Fishing Derby website, kids-fishing.com.

This is a great team!”, says Diane Devine Mizusawa, VP of Marketing at High Liner Foods, maker of Fisher Boy® brand products.

Daniel Johnson, Director of Corporate Partnerships for Hooked on Fishing International, the company that produces the program, praised officials of High Liner Foods USA and the Fisher Boy® brand for providing support to help the program keep up with its accelerating growth.

The youth fishing events, for kids 5 to 16, usually last a half day and include fishing, a hot dog cookout, and special programs like the I Caught a Fish Contest, the Fujifilm Big Fish Contest, and the Zebco Casting Contest.

Held in all 50 states, the events are organized and staffed locally by volunteer organizations including state, federal and civic agencies. Qualifying adult groups receive a free kit, courtesy of the program’s partners, which contains items necessary to put on a local event, including event promotion materials, an organizer handbook, prizes and other sponsor samples and give-aways for the kids.

A FISHING TIP FOR KIDS FROM SEBASTIAN T. BOBBER

Quick movements and high-pitched sounds scare fish. That’s why it’s very important when you’re fishing to be stay still and to speak softly. I know, it’s not easy to keep still and quiet when you have a fish on the line. But it could help you catch another fish. Good luck and come visit me at Sebastian’s Corner at www.kids-fishing.com. I’ve got more fishing tips for you.
