SSC Trip to the Seminole Inn

30 people traveled via 5 boats and 3 cars to Indiantown to the Seminole Inn yesterday for brunch. And, a great trip it was, too with fine dining, cool weather and little/no rain. Most boats left around 8:00 AM to go through the lock together at 9:00 and arrived at the Indiantown Marina at 11:00. The great people at the Inn shuttled us back & forth. Boaters arrived back in the Pocket by 4:15 PM.

Participants included: Gene Detmer, Bill Whippen, Dave & Debbie Newman, Bob & Fern Hoover, Dennis, Oksana, and Anthony Fano, Scott & Marissa with their little one, Fritz & Mary Jo Grell, Billy Black & Karen, Butch & Jan Bayley, Sue McVeigh, Susan Neary, Dave & Jodi Mills, Art & Pat Cox, Karl & Pat Salo, Vance & Nancy Strausberg, and Judy & Charlie Evans.

Special recognition went to Art & Pat Cox who were celebrating their 46th anniversary.

An album of pictures provided by Fritz & Mary Jo is located in Stuart Sailfish Club Pictures from our home page.

2008 Light Tackle Tournament

20 Boats fished this year's tournament through some great fishing conditions and some nasty conditions that developed by the end of the week. Fishing had been good, but as the winds moved around and a front came through, fish ducked down and fishermen took a beating.

.

However to those on the Hotty Toddy, conditions were just right, as they came away with top honors.

.

Thanks to all who worked to make this another great tournament and to our great sponsors.

See the Stuart Sailfish Club Pictures from our Home Page for activities of the week. Also, see the details from our Real Time Tournament Results of all releases by day, boat, and angler.

Another Good Day at the Sailfish Capital of the World

I had the opportunity to take a couple of young freshwater fishermen (Brandon and Ryan Keen) this week to the “big lake”. We hooked double header Sailfish early in the day to start them off right, (tagged one and released the other) and finished the day with some nice quality Mahi.
