Seekonk Lions Club Fishing Derby

Get Ready for The Best Fishing Derby Ever!!!!

We are finally here! The Seekonk Lions Club’s Thirteenth Annual Doug Allan Memorial Fishing Tournament is just a few weeks away, featuring the best prizes and sponsors in the local community. How do we know that? Well, that fishing magazine in the store says, “George the Fishing Guy and all his buddies at the Lions Club put on the best derby for sure !”

We already knew that! It has been thirteen years with a loyal following and new anglers signing up every year. Local celebrities and dignitaries visit to make sure we all get a look at their faces. They all know where to be on Patriots Day in Seekonk—enjoying the action with free donuts, hot chocolate, and coffee, telling fish stories to those who will listen.

The Seekonk Lions Club’s Thirteenth Annual Doug Allan Memorial Fishing Tournament will be on Patriots Day, Monday, April 21, 2025, at the Old Grist Mill Pond, RT 114A in Seekonk, from 9:00 AM until 11:00 AM. It is open to all children through high school in the area.

Remember, this is thirteen years going strong for the derby! Of course, our friends at the American Legion Post 311 have sponsored our banquet, providing the hall for anglers to sit down and relax while enjoying Chick-fil-A sandwiches with cookies, chips, and drinks.

If you do not have a fishing pole, that is OK. We will have poles available for those who are first-timers or just want to try it. Different types of bait and accessories will be available for everyone, along with some of the most expert advice in the industry from George, the Fishing Guy.

We would like to see all our fellow anglers back this year and some new ones as well. We will have a great time with great fishing with some great prizes as always!

To register anglers or if you would like to help/donate or volunteer please email seekonkfishingtournament@yahoo.com.  For derby updates, check our website at https://www.seekonklions.club/ 

Remember there is no charge. Just come with your fishing poles, that special bait you may have, and catch some fish!
