Sussex County Local 138 has a reel good
time at community fishing event
Sussex County Local 138 members and
residents in the community came togeth-
er on the weekend of May 5 in hopes of
a big catch. The officers present weren’t
looking to catch crime on the streets, but
rather to reel in the biggest trout they
could at the 59th Annual Sergeant Clar-
ence “Ish” Friedland Fishing Contest.
Fishermen and women gathered at
the Sussex County Community College
to take part in the fishing tournament on
May 5 and May 6. The lake was stocked
with 1,000 trout for the event. Over the
course of two days, 500 fish were caught,
as Local 138 members and civilians got
to know one another at the barbeque and
spent some quality time by the lake. d
