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.
