On Aug. 9, the borough of Harvey Cedars, in partnership with the Long Beach Island Fishing Club, hosted its 26th annual “Hooked on Fishing, Not on Drugs” event, an engaging, family-friendly day focused on encouraging healthy choices and fostering a love of the outdoors in youth.

“We couldn’t have hoped for a better day to host the tournament,” said John Hughes, a member of the LBI Fishing Club and one of the event’s organizers.
