On August 7, approximately 60 participants, including keiki, ages 5-17, and their parents/guardians from across the Hāmākua district, took place in the second-annual Hawai‘i Isle Police Activities League/DARE Hawaiʻi Back to School Fishing Tournament at the Laupāhoehoe Point Beach Park.
During the event, forty fish of varying species were caught, the heaviest being a “tohei” or white eel. Families had the choice of keeping or releasing the fish after it was logged and weighed.
 
In addition to fishing, participants and their families were treated to a “Golf With A Cop” miniature golf course, as well as an ocean safety and awareness presentation by DLNR/DOCARE Officer John Kahiapo. Attendees also enjoyed a free lunch, ice shave, and prizes, which were donated by local businesses and individuals.
