Coppell wants you to go fishing with the family on May 9

by PegNews wire

On Saturday, May 9, the pond at Andy Brown Jr. Park East (at 260 Parkview Blvd.) will be pre-stocked with hundreds of pounds of catfish in preparation for Coppell's annual Family Fish event.

There will be a limited number of rods, reels and bait on hand for those who don't bring their own. A prize will be awarded for the biggest catch of the day (measured in length).

In addition to tackle, folks will want to bring along lawn chairs and a picnic lunch: since the event runs from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m., you'll want to have some sustenance on hand to keep family members operating at their top angling potential.

Also on site will be the Texas Junior Angler's Catch Tank, to provide even the youngest and least-accomplished fisherfolk with an opportunity to land a whopper.

NOTE that all Texas fishing laws apply at the park, so if you're legally required to have a fishing license, then make sure you've got it on you.
