33rd Annual Junior Angler Tournament

And, another fine tournament it was, too. 109 junior anglers signed up on 29 boats (including the Safari) ready to fish. The weather was good, well, there was a major goose drowner at the weigh-in station.... The seas were calm, and fish scattered. Bonita were plenty, sails & dolphin scarce. Catches included everything from blackfin and a few small dolphin to amberjack and barracuda. Big fish of the day, a 37# king!

Many thanks to our many volunteers and sponsors as well as our anglers, parents, and donors for their time, funding and efforts to make this another good year. Never saw more smiles than we did today.

Bahamas Fishing

Hey Dave, just got back from Elbow Cay again, caught 2 blues and broke one off. Caught a White, Yellow Fins and Dolphin. One Dolphin was pretty big.
See you soon, Fritz

(Nice fish, Fritz!!!)

Island Princess Cruise

Well, if you didn't go, you missed a wonderful evening. The Island Princess crew was terrific, hors de ordervs very tasty, the boat spotless and well appointed, and the weather, perfect. Captain Bob took us out to the inlet, around Sewells point, west to Hell Gate, and got us back right on time two hours later.

35 Club Members enjoyed the trip, many of us noting how wonderful it was to be served, not worry about channel markers, other boats, sand bars, or have to clean up the boat when we got back.

The prevailing comments, "This is great, we have to do this again", and "if XXXX had known how nice this is, they would have come along".

Thanks, Char, for putting us onto this, and thanks, Bob & Crew, for a very nice evening.
