American author Max Hawthorne once said, “Take a kid fishing and you will capture their imagination.”

On Sunday, nearly 150 young children and teenagers, aged between three and 14 years old, accompanied by their parents, let their imaginations run free at the New Plymouth Sport Fishing and Underwater Club’s annual ‘Take a kid fishing day’ at Port Taranaki.
