The City of Ocoee and the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) will be teaming up once again to host a family fishing event as part of the Ocoee Music Festival activities. The event will run at the Ocoee Lakefront from 10:00 am to 12:30 pm on Saturday at the Ocoee Music Festival. Everything about the event is FREE and no pre-registration is necessary! The fishing will occur at the boat ramp boat docks. Bait and tackle will be provided compliments of the FWC’s Fish Orlando program. Raffle prizes will be drawn from the stage closest to the boat ramp at 12:15 pm. Headquarters for the event will be on Lakeshore Drive right next to the boat ramp.
The FAB FIVE Family Fishing Event is always a highlight of the cooperation between the City of Ocoee and the FWC’s Fish Orlando program! Fish Orlando’s mission statement is to provide and promote quality fishing opportunities in the greater Orlando area. Ocoee became part of the program in 1999 when Starke Lake was named a Fish Orlando FAB FIVE water body. The FAB FIVE are five water bodies in the greater Orlando area managed for quality-size fish and/or a unique fishing experience (See the informational kiosks at the Ocoee lakefront to find out the other FAB FIVE water bodies).
So come on out and see the work yourself while having some good old-fashioned family fishing fun. The fish are usually cooperative, and almost no one goes away from the event without a smile on their face.
