Surf Fishing Tournament
Based upon the fog that greeted the group on the morning of the tournament, we were not quite sure if we were going to fish. After a short break to discuss the group’s participation in the Adopt – A- Highway Program, we headed down to John Brooks Park, and we had a beautiful day! Lots of sun and a very slight breeze.
There were 15 fish on the catch list from bluefish to whiting, with each fish being worth 5 points except for the snook, which was worth 50 points. In this tournament, parents were encouraged to fish with their children and some mom and dads did!
RESULTS:
Middle School Division
1st, Jake Castlow – Lincoln Park Academy – 25 points
2nd, Scott Smith – Forest Grove – 15 points
High School Division
1st, Maxwell Higgins – Treasure Coast High – 10 points
Biggest Fish went to Jake Castlow for his whiting. Bill Kidd captured all the medals, Biggest Fish, Most Fish and Smallest Fish—in the Parents Division.
Junior Division From Shore Tournament
It was a windy morning on February 16, with winds gusting to 35 mph, but the shoreline at Harbour Point Park was well protected and sunny. Cool temperatures impacted the day’s bite; only three fish were weighed despite our casters diligent efforts.
RESULTS
1st, Thomas Parramore – Fairlawn Elementary – K – Fort Pierce
2nd, Brayden Adams – F.K.Sweet – 2nd grade – Fort Pierce
Biggest fish of the tournament when to Thomas Parramore.
