Fun day of fishing for kids

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

The old Chinese proverb will be put into play this weekend with the annual Blue Light Kids Gone Fishin' event at Tauranga Bridge Marina.

The free day out is hosted by Blue Light Ventures Tauranga and includes free bait, a sausage sizzle and spot prizes.

About 500 children attended last year's event and Tanya Grimstone, from the Te Aranui Youth Trust, says it's a great opportunity to have fun and spend quality time with whanau.

It also provides a chance to interact with local police and follows on from the successful Tauranga Police Station open day held earlier this month.

Participants are invited to bring their own rod, however there will be a limited number of free hand lines available. Prize-giving will be from 2.15pm.

Kids Gone Fishin' runs from 11am-2pm on Sunday, March 25 on the Mount side of the Tauranga Bridge Marina at 101 Te Awanui Drive.
