It took Joshua Jacobs a few swings before the bobber plopped in the water. It didn’t float for long before a bluegill mistook a worm for its lunch, and the fight was on. Joshua, even at 5-years-old, was no match for the ‘gill. Soon it was dad Jack Jacobs’ job to remove the hook, and toss the fish back into Kids Fishing Pond at Veronica Valley Park in Bingham Township. The scene was repeated hundreds of times Sunday at Kids Fishing Day, which attracted about 500 young fisher folks, parents and friends. They were entertained by a fly fishing demonstration by DJ Schmidt, raptors presented by Wings of Wonder director Rebecca Lessard, a frogs and turtle display brought by Jim Kacin, a replica fish painting station, hot dogs and pop served by Camelot Construction — and more bluegills than a young fellow could wave a pole at. “We love it,” said Jack Jacobs of Suttons Bay. “We think it’s a great idea. It gets kids away from the TV — it’s a great program.” Committee chair Pete Taylor welcomed a steady group of fishing patrons at the sign-up tent. “We’re going to end up with over 500. We’re close to what we had last year, and I didn’t anticipate that based on the chances for bad weather,” said Taylor. “It’s another magical day.”
