Children ages 5–15 brought their fishing poles Saturday to Mill Creek Pond, inside Mill Creek Regional Park, for the 2026 Gary Oglesby Memorial Youth Fishing Tournament. Sponsored by the Bulloch Bass Club and the Bulloch County Recreation and Parks Department, the annual event encourages youngsters to learn about the sport of fishing, catch a lot of fish and have a lot of fun.
