Stuart Sailfish Club’s Lady Anglers Tournament - News and Results

STUART, FLORIDA – OCTOBER 2015 – Stuart Sailfish Club’s 30th Annual Saltwater Sisters Lady Angler Tournament succeeded in raising thousands of dollars for local charities.  The Tournament, held October 16 & 17, at Pirate’s Cove Resort and Marina, was bigger than the previous year both in number of boats participating and in dollars raised.    

 
Chairperson Margaret Dyer said this year’s Tournament was also more fun for a host of reasons.  “Everyone participating in this year’s tournament had a great time,” she said.  “Whether they fished, or just attended one of our parties, of which there were many, we heard time and again how much fun our guests were having.  I think the movie theme was a big part of it; everyone had so much fun dressing up in costume and decorating their boats.  I want to thank everyone who came out and fished, came to a party, volunteered, or sponsored this Tournament.  I think we’re all looking forward to what next year’s Tournament will bring.”
Some of the movies chosen by the teams included Casino Royale, Winnie the Pooh (the winner of the boat decorating contest), The Witches of Eastwick, Ladies of Disney and Annie Get Your Gun. 
The Tournament will once again benefit Friends in Pink, a local organization that provides financial assistance for those on the Treasure Coast battling breast cancer; Windsor Community Angels, an organization that pays for free mammograms for Treasure Coast residents; the Sailfish Club’s Scholarship program and numerous conservation related organizations.
The event was held at Pirate’s Cove Resort located at 4307 SE Bayview St., Stuart, FL 34997.  
Sponsors included Harbor Community Bank, HMY Yachts, Pirate’s Cove Resort, Windsor Imaging, Blue Water Landscape, GameGuard Outdoor Clothing, MarineMax of Stuart, Stuart Magazine, Treasure Coast Newspapers & TCPalm, Your Voice Weekly, Coastal Angler Magazine and Weekly Tidbits.
