Show MCA Expo 2006 -- the Fish MCA Expo 2006 -- the People	Free Fishing Day. Free fish, free bait, free T-shirts. Plus lots of free kids' foods. Whatadeal. What a turn out. Too many poles and bobbers to count. And too cold to count on your fingers -- somewhere in the high forties with a stiff breeze. The inclement weather did not reduce the turnout. LA LA Hey, dude. Where's my car? Waterworks Park was packed. LA Gets bigger every year. LA Kids to the right of me ... LA Kids to the front of me ... LA Kids to the left of me ... LA Kids even to the lefter of me. Some wearing their ofishal purple fish-catching shirts. LA Here's the ofishal volunteer staff issuing what's left of the ofishal fish-catching shirts. LA One of these guys said he'd never untangled or cut so many lines in his life. LA Never did figure out where this particular line was going. LA This golfer was telling everyone where to go. Look like a cushy job? LA Well, not so much. LA Lots of concession stands. No line at the ice cream station. LA Getting your gear together is half the battle. LA The other half is to keep from freezing. LA There's two of them under this blanket. LA A little insulation never hurts. LA Serious anglers don't need no stinkin' blankets. LA And there were lots of serious anglers angling in the less than warm weather. LA As mentioned earlier, plenty of free bait. LA Handing out bait as fast as he could.. There was also an entire dumpster of empty boxes. LA It's a Berkley product and I'd never even heard of it. Iowa Product. Former Iowa representative, Berkley Bedell, makes this tasty bucket o' bait and nearly a couple dozen other bait products -- as well as fishing lines, poles, and multiple other fishing products. BassPro's selling these pint buckets o' bait on their website for $19.99. Somebody kicked in a lot o' bucks. The minnows in here worked like a charm. Most of the bullheads reeled in exceeded a foot in length. Two kids had a stringer of nearly a dozen. LA If you've ever cleaned a bullhead, you know how great this service is. LA The first catcher of a tagged fish chose this stylish pink bicycle. We saw lots of tagged winners. LA Kids like the gummy Swedish Fish which I'd never heard of either. Lots of Snack Foods. Old Dutch potato chips were there and sang the Star-Spangled Banner to kick things off on an ofishal foot. They evidently had a Cheetos equivalent product because we saw lots of orange fingers. Yum. Cheetos and bait. An unbeatable combo. We left for several hours and returned after lunch. And after all the prizes were awarded. LA It's over. Still, the dedicated anglers stick around to catch more bullheads. Aftermath. Only the hardcore remain. Fishing still pretty good. But best of all, the temperature went way up to 55 F. Too bad the wind kept up. We heard an announcement for "50 cent hotdogs and one dollar hamburgers." Too bad I ate on the way back to the derby. LA Overcoats still needed. And you can see one of the banks of porta-potties. Always a festive sight. Lotsa Porta-Potties. When you concentrate thousands of kids into one centralized area, you need to be prepared. They were. All told in the various areas of the various ponds there were nearly a hundred porta-potties -- no waiting or whining. LA Even the shouting was over. LA Still swinging those poles and drowning those worms. No short hitters here. Last Words. If you really like to fish, these fishing holes will yield exceptional results for several days to come. Thanks HyVee and the other sponsors. Except for nearly freezing to death, the kids certainly enjoyed the day.
