Goby fishing event draws 200

About 200 people turned out Saturday for this year’s Family Fun Fishing Day, organizers say.

The annual Bluewater Anglers event encourages youngsters and their families to catch invasive gobies and have them weighed for a shot at prizes.

A similar number turned out for last year’s event, organizers said.

It’s held during Ontario Family Fishing Week, when fishing licenses aren’t required.

Lincoln Bucci, eight, dumps out the gobies he and his family caught Saturday, to have them weighed at the Bluewater Anglers hatchery in Point Edward.
