Talkin' Tourism

Gary Guertin, a past president of the Stuart Sailfish Club, has been very actively involved in recent years in an effort to increase tourism to the Treasure Coast. This is very much in line with the vision of the founders of the SSC in the 1930's, as one of the main early objectives of the Club was to bring tourists to Stuart during the great depression.

You can view information about current activities at http://talkintourism.blogspot.com/. Also, you can listen to Gary's weekly radio show every Friday at 10:00 AM on WPSL, 1590 AM, or on line at

Gary is currently general manager at the Harborage Yacht Club and Marina.

Great Double Diamond Sword

Check out our 1st swordfish day dropping. She weighed 327lbs at Light House Point marina. Our crew included SSC members Gerrard Weigold and Nick Froonjian, as well as Carl Weigold, Gary Froonjian, and Glen Rassmussen. Great fish on the Double Diamond. Hope to fish the Members tournament with you.

Martin County Nautical Flea Market & Seafood Festival

MANY THANKS to our Club volunteers who sacrificed their personal time this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to come out to the Martin County fairgrounds and man our booth in sweltering heat.

Cindy Mumford, Char Griggs, Sherry Simmons, Erika Long, George Federko, Fred & Pat Bartlett, Nippy & Sue Pauels, Andy & Dodi Kubiak, & Jodi Mills sold new memberships, a couple of hundred dollars of Club shirts, burgees, towels, & stickers to people who came by our booth. (Nippy & Sue even pulled double duty by working Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning! If you are looking for a Charter, think about I'm On Sportfishing.) Char & Cindy were thrilled to pick up several new sponsors for Club tournaments.

We love new members and new sponsors. Thanks to all of you for all your help.

SSC Has New Landlord

Congratulations to Mary, Butch, & Jan Bayley for their purchase of Finest Kind Marina. (Click on Ed Killer and Jim Turner's article from today's Stuart News.) Bringing these two marinas together seems to be a natural.

Stuart Sailfish Club moved its office to Finest Kind over a year ago. Joe Lehner and Ed Sellian are long standing club members and have been fine landlords. Butch and Jan also are long standing members and excellent club supporters, as well as is Mary who is a Lifetime Member.
