New to this year's Hatchie Fall Fest is a CastingKids competition. Those who are familiar with the world of fishing know about CastingKids. It's an event where kids ages 7-14 flip, pitch and cast a hookless lure to a bull's-eye target. Scoring is based on a points system and the angler with the most points wins.
The Bassmaster CastingKids program is the most successful youth fishing program in the world, according to the ESPN website. Kids have been awarded more than $3 million in awards, prizes and scholarship resulting from the competition.
The event will be sponsored by the Haywood County Jr. BASS Club. Two winners, one in each age group (7-10 years of age and 11-14 years of age), will move on to the state competition.
This will be a great opportunity for future angler and just plain fun; and hopefully become an annual event at our festival.
