The Early Worm Gets the Fish
July 2024 marked the debut of the Eagles Cove Family Fishing Event, with over 125 participants taking part in the 3-day contest. Due to its tremendous turnout, we expect this event to be an annual angling tradition for many seasons to come.
Kids and adults each competed in their own respective division, vying for prizes including rods, reels, and various fishing equipment bundles (for the kids), and the Bass Master trophy for the winner of the Adult Division.
The event was made extra special as several rod/reel combos, and an assortment of tackle, were anonymously donated by two residents of Eagles Cove.
