Here is the wahoo we caught today. We caught it on a ballyhoo with the lure you got for us.

Fishing Bahamian Style






Today Leland & I fished with Don in his little boat for about 2 hours. We got some conch, a nice mutton, some yellowtails and a very big hog snapper. Leland was reeling in the hog and got it to the boat, and it got off at the boat. Don was so upset he jumped in the water and speared it before it could get away. I looked at Leland and said..Don will never find that fish, and with that Don came up with it on his spear.

Small Boat Tournament 2011



















There were sailfish and dolphin around for this year's Small Boat Tournament, but not much else are far as meat fish! But, look at the results below. Not bad for a summer tournament on the Treasure Coast! And, "fun on the docks" was terrific. A tally of 33 boats and 89 anglers made for a strong turnout.

Tournament chairs Sherry Simmons and James Robinson put together a perfect program starting out with the Captains Meeting at Manatee Island Grill and ending with the awards dinner at Sailfish/Finest Kind Marina. And, our very generous sponsors, vendors, and supporters made it all happen. See an album of pictures in Stuart Sailfish Club Pictures from our Home page.
