GULFPORT, Miss. (AP) ? The Mississippi Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo returns to Gulfport this week
The Sun Herald reports (http://bit.ly/12wBd8F ) the 65th annual rodeo takes place Thursday through Sunday. And after moving around to several venues the past few years, the rodeo is back in Gulfport, where it had been prior to Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Richie Valdez, of the deep sea fishing rodeo board of directors, says recent improvements at Jones Park in Gulfport Harbor will make this year?s rodeo more enjoyable for spectators.
?All of the coastal cities and Harrison County have all welcomed the rodeo, whatever town we went to, the people came out and supported the rodeo,? Richie Valdez, of the deep sea fishing rodeo board of directors said.
The fishing scales will be open from noon to 6 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday. Admission is $5 for a wristband that is good for gate admission all four days.
?That?s only a dollar and quarter per day,? Valdez said. ?You can?t find any cheaper family entertainment than that.?
This year there are 25 fishing categories ? 19 saltwater and six fresh water categories. The deep sea fishing rodeo keeps catches on ice for spectator viewing throughout the weekend. There also are carnival rides available for additional cost throughout the rodeo. Saturday will be kids? day with a special kids fishing rodeo.
