Parker wins Ludlow's first fishing derby of the season


Congradulations Parker for winning todays fishing derby with a total of 9 fish.

Today we hosted our first official fishing derby for the kids at our resort. The fishing derby is one of many childrens activities that we at Ludlow's put together, we have 6 days full of fun for children to participate in.
The fishing derby is a contest of all the children at our resort that we hold on our docks, we give them 20 minutes to catch and release as many fish as they can. we prepare for this and have worms cut up for them so they are smaller and easier to put on a hook, we are also down on the docks enjoying the excitement and cheering the kids on while they fish their hearts outs. The winner of this contest gets to pick out a T-shirt out of our gift shop, and all the other contestants get a smaller prize such as a poster or some assorted candy for being such good sports.

Today's fishing derby was an exciting one we had a lot of kids joining in and catching a lot of fish. There was a 3 way tie going into the derby and it was neck to neck for a while, but once it got down to the last 5 minutes it was a close battle between Parker and Sydney, Parker was in the lead and in the last 15 seconds Sydney caught a final fish that would of tied Parker and put them into a sudden death overtime fish-off. But due to the rules Sydney's last fish didnt count since she had it on and pulled it out of the water but it wiggled off before it got to the docks. Just another fun filled exciting day here at ludlow's.
Have a good one
John
