For the past 37 years, Grand Lagoon Yacht Club has been home to The Bill Hargreaves Fishing Rodeo. Held every year on Father’s Day Weekend, this event offers families an opportunity to spend quality time together. Named for the man who made it possible, Bill Hargreaves, this fishing rodeo is Pensacola’s VERY FIRST children’s fishing tournament, and has grown from 12 anglers to over 300.
Featuring 32 species of fish for the kids alone, and special gift certificates for bicycles, no child goes unrecognized for his/her efforts. Grand Lagoon Yacht Club is proud to have presented over $40,000 in savings bonds to our junior anglers, thanks to our past sponsors and advertisers of this event. This is truly a family event, offering fish categories for adults also, so that Mom and Dad may include their entire family for this special weekend, June 13-15 at Grand Lagoon Yacht Club on Gulf Beach Hwy.
The Captain’s Meeting is Thursday, June 12th at GLYC at 7:00PM. All anglers MUST be registered by close of this meeting to compete. Registration is $35 and includes a fish fry ticket.
The 38th Bill Hargreaves Fishing Rodeo Sponsorship Committee has established a goal for 2008 to raise enough funds to make a special donation to The Ronald McDonald House in Pensacola.
