Docktail Party of 4-1-11

Greg Carpino and Emily Gregory co-chaired tonight's event and provided an all star line up. Food by Bono's, vendors for rum cakes, custom audio for most anything mobile, jewelry, and much more. And, perfect weather. Glad so many could attend, if you missed it, don't miss the next one.

Bimini Fishing Report - Thanks Capt. Billy

Trolling has been a bit slow the last week. A few wahoo were caught. I jumped off a Marlin couple days ago and missed a few wahoo bites. Lots of cudas.
A boat Lucky Seven caught 6 wahoo 40lb range and 3 dolphin yesterday.
The deep dropping has been really good since the wind dropped out.

Christening the Long Story

(Click on image to enlarge)

A couple of passer bys stopped in to help Fritz and Mary Jo christen the Long Story. How many Long Storys is this now? I know of at least 3 in the past 6-7 years! Some people just need to buy new boats every so often to have a reason for a party. Nice event, great boat. Congrats, guys!

Congratulations Lady Anglers!

If you haven't yet picked up your March 2011 copy of Stuart Magazine, now would be an excellent time. In this month's article "Power of 10", Lady Anglers around the Stuart area are recognized. Can you pick out the ones who are also members of the Stuart Sailfish Club? Here's a clue...there are several of them.

And don't miss "Best Catches" starring Kristy Levin and Kimberlee Ewing and their Reel Sassy business!

Gotta love all these fishing ladies and members of the Stuart Sailfish Club.

CONGRATULATIONS LADIES!

Curt is 100 Years and Counting

(Click on pictures to view.)

.

Well, Curt Whiticar turned 100 yesterday, and an estimated 400 people turned out at Indian Riverside Park to help him celebrate. Quite a tribute.

.

Curt was named Honorary SSC Membership for his many years of service and support to the Club and the fishing industry in the Stuart area. Curt is credited for being a leader in promoting sailfish release. He designed the coveted gold SSC sailfish release pin and certificate for releases in the 1940's. Father Add, Curt, and brothers Johnson and Jack were early captains of the Whiticar fleet which fished early tournaments in the 1930's, '40's and '50's and thereafter. Whiticar boats built by Curt and Whiticar Boat Works still fish in the tournaments today.
