60th Annual Light Tackle Tournament

(Click on images to enlarge)

2013 – 60TH Annual Light Tackle Tournament was held Dec. 12-15, 2013. The tournament went back to one division since adding an Open Division last year did not bring more boats or anglers. 16 boats averaging 55 feet and 68 anglers released 212 fish. Having planned a big 60th anniversary celebration, we were hoping for more boats. It was a fun event anyway, as many people who had played a big part over the past several years attended. Included among the 20 or so honored were Jan Fogt, Kathy Garlington, Squeeky Kelly, Keith Carroll, Sandy Fogt, Sandy Thurlow, Curt Whiticar, Blaine Rhoads, Bob Barratta, Dave Berard, Boogie Warren, Dave Chasmar, Tom Chamberlin, and John Whiticar.

 Top boat was Challenge (24 releases) with Captain Jimmy Hardee, mates Terry Brennan & James Turner, and owner Michael Fogel. Anglers were Dave Berard, Jr., James Robinson, James Turner, Michael Fogel, and Steve Butcher. 2nd place went to Canyon Lady (18 release) and 3rd place to J-Hook (16 releases on time)
