Get ready to cast your lines and reel in some fun at the 20th Annual Macon Water Authority (MWA) Kids Fishing Derby! This highly anticipated family-friendly event will take place on Saturday, March 1, 2025, at the picturesque Javors Lucas Lake at 150 Broach Lane, off Upper River Road in Jones County.

The Kids Fishing Derby is a free event open to children and youth between the ages of 3 and 16. Participants will be able to compete for prizes in four different age categories, with an exciting grand prize awarded for the biggest catch of the day. It’s a fantastic opportunity for young anglers to showcase their fishing skills while creating lasting memories with family and friends.

To make this year’s derby even more thrilling, Javors Lucas Lake will be stocked with 1,000 pounds of 13-16” trout and 500 pounds of 13” catfish, courtesy of Aquatic Environmental Services. The lake has been closed for several months to ensure an abundant and healthy fishing habitat, making this event the perfect kickoff to the 2025 public fishing season.

Event Details:

  • Location: Javors Lucas Lake, 150 Broach Lane, Jones County
  • Registration Opens: 7:00 a.m.
  • Fishing Starts 7:30 a.m.
  • Awards Ceremony: 11:00 a.m.

Participants are encouraged to bring their bait and tackle, along with plenty of enthusiasm for a fun-filled day of fishing. Refreshments will be provided for all participants to keep everyone energized throughout the morning.

Whether you’re an experienced young angler or just learning the ropes, the MWA Kids Fishing Derby promises a day of outdoor adventure, friendly competition, and quality family time. Don’t miss this exciting event—mark your calendars and join us at the lake for a day you won’t forget!

We look forward to seeing you at the lake!
