CONGRATULATIONS TO STUART SAILFISH CLUB MEMBERS

Outlaw

One of our member tournament boats is off to a great start this sailfish season. The Outlaw, owned by Lifetime Member Neil Subin and the crew, mostly SSC Members, turned up winning two early season major tournaments against some very worthy competition.

They fished the prestigious Fall Sailfish Classic in New Smyrna Beach October 16-18 and released 13, narrowly beating the Right Hook (non-member boat) on time. Captains Neil Subin and Ian Wichers shared (switched off) between captain and angler. The balance of the crew included Tom Wichers (another Lifetime Member), Brian Schmidt, Pat Price, and Marshall Busha.

The following weekend they fished and won the Capt. Ed Dwyer’s Billfish Classic at Cape Canaveral with 10 releases, 9 caught the first day. Same crew, only Ian Wichers was Captain for the entire event. It was Ian’s first major sailfish tournament win as Captain. And, Tom Wichers earned the Top Angler Award for the tournament.

Congratulations to all on a fine job and a great start to the tournament season.

About Stuart Sailfish Club

The STUART SAILFISH CLUB was formed more than 75 years ago and incorporated in January of 1941. It is one of the oldest sportfishing clubs in the United States, formed for the purpose of promoting the conservation of game fish and encouraging visitors to fish in Martin County waters. To this day, these remain our primary goals. We attract visitors by sponsoring offshore fishing tournaments and then donate a large part of the proceeds to worthy conservation programs and local conservation organizations.
