After two weather related delays, the Small Boat Tournament happened Saturday, the 14th!!! And, a sporty day on the water it was after all. Southeast winds to 15Kts delivered seas of 3-4 with a few 6 footers thrown in to keep anglers on their toes. But tourney co-chairs Michael Fogel and James Robinson were not to be deterred this time, and some skilled (and maybe a little lucky) anglers challenged scattered fish successfully. Committee Boat handler Char Griggs and Weigh Master Jim Weix found people to talk with and some fish to weigh.Junior Angler Mark Smith released his 1st sail, but couldn't count it as it jumped on his kingfish rig which was not rigged with a circle hook. Congrats anyway, Mark. And, Bill Whippen presented Jody Robinson with a Polly Whippen award explaining that there had been a tie for the award from the Ladies Tournament. Congratulations Jody!
Winners of cash and awards were as follows:
SAILFISH RELEASE
Reeling 2 Go - Capt. James Robinson. Guest angler Johnny Wise released the 1st one at 8;44 and Capt. Robinson got the 2nd one at 10:33.
MEAT FISH
Clean-N-Simple -Capt. Barry Berhoff. Angler Craig Stevens brought in a 25.02lb. bull dolphin.
And, this was certainly Capt. Barry's day, as he won the $700 Added Entry Level and the Fuel Raffle of $500.
Congratulations to all. And, thanks to our other participants and especially our sponsors.
