Bayside Marina to Host Snapper Derby This Weekend

Annual event will teach children of all ages how to fish.

The Bayside Anglers will host the 13th annual Snapper Derby at the Bayside Marina for young fishers from northeast Queens on Aug. 24.

The free event, which begins at 10 a.m., is aimed at children of all ages, who will be provided with fishing equipment and given some basic instructions on how to catch a fish.

This year’s derby, which is catch and release, has been named in honor of Jimmy Miranda, one of the marina’s partners who died last year.
