Mark your calendars for an exciting family-friendly event at the picturesque Marshbank Park! The “Go Fish!” event is scheduled to take place on June 9, 2024, from 9:00 am to 11:15 am. Set along the scenic shores of Cass Lake, at 2805 Hiller Rd, West Bloomfield Township, MI, Marshbank Park promises an engaging morning filled with fun, laughter, and the joy of fishing. The event is perfectly timed to make the most of the pleasant early summer weather, giving participants a fantastic outdoor experience.
This event is ideal for both avid anglers and those new to fishing, offering a unique opportunity to bond with family, meet fellow community members, and perhaps even develop a new hobby. Whether you’re a local resident, someone considering moving into the area, or a local business owner looking to engage with the community, “Go Fish!” at Marshbank Park is an event you wouldn’t want to miss. It’s a perfect example of the vibrant community activities that West Bloomfield has to offer.
About the event: The “Go Fish!” activity is not just about casting lines and hoping for a bite; it’s an enriching experience designed to teach and entertain. For those who have never fished before, worry not, as hands-on fishing instruction will be provided with a limited number of fishing poles available for use. It’s a wonderful way to introduce children to the sport under the guidance of skilled staff. Adding to the excitement, attendees have the chance to win a fishing-themed prize by catching either the smallest or the largest fish. And for moments when the fish aren’t cooperating, there will be simple crafts and games to keep everyone entertained.
Highlighting the event is a special appearance by Mike McKinstry from “The Bassquatch Hunter: Fish Out of Water”, who will be sharing invaluable fishing tips. In alignment with the catch and release philosophy, participants are encouraged to bring their cameras to capture their triumphant moments with their catches. Importantly, the event coincides with the DNR’s free fishing weekend, so no fishing license will be required, making it accessible for everyone. To ensure a spot on the fishing pier, early registration is recommended by visiting: wbparks.org/go-fish/. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy a day out with the family, learn a new skill, and make lasting memories, all while taking part in a cherished local tradition.
