On the “Compy” Compomizzo Fishing Pier

By City of Antioch Recreation Department

It is time to grab your poles and set your sights on the pier! This Saturday, Oct. 11, 2025, the 37th Annual Free Kids Fishing Derby will be taking place from 9am-12pm.

Held in memory of late Antioch resident Uril E. “Compy” Compomizzo, who inspired the mission statement: “Get kids hooked on fishing, not drugs or gangs,” the fishing derby will be held on the fishing pier named for him and in the adjacent Waldie Plaza.

It provides the opportunity to teach kids fifteen years and younger conservation and the basics of fishing competition that may spur an interest in future events.

Register the day of the event to join in on this exciting afternoon filled with great catches!

Note: If you have your own fishing poles, please bring them. For those who do not have fishing equipment, there will be poles for you to borrow.

This event is made possible through the great partnership between the California Striped Bass Association, West Delta Chapter and the City of Antioch Recreation Department. Learn more about the West Delta Chapter when you visit, striper-csba.org/West-Delta-Chapter/

Business Women giving back to the Community!

Founded in 1902, the Woman’s Club of Antioch was formed “To improve and beautify the town, to do any business which shall promote the educational industrial benevolent, social or political welfare of its members or the community at large.”

In 1904 the club was then admitted to the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, known as the GFWC.  In 1905 with 40 members the club was incorporated, and our club was admitted to the California Federation of Women’s Clubs known as CFWC, then in 1924 admitted into the Mount Diablo District.
