NESS in the News: Second annual Family Fishing Tournament held on City Pier

NESS was recently featured in The Day newspaper in New London!

Fishing poles in hand, aspiring young fishers spent Saturday morning on City Pier in New London, learning how to bait a hook and cast a line during the city’s second [actually the third] annual Family Fishing Tournament.

The event, hosted by the city of New London and New England Science and Sailing, known as NESS, was an opportunity for families to spend quality time on the pier while kids learned how to fish with the help of volunteers from the city, local fire departments and NESS. Brand-new fishing poles were awarded as prizes for those who caught the biggest fish, the smallest fish and the most fish.
