What a great morning we had on July 8th to kick off our new season of inshore fishing for the Treasure Coast Casters – Senior Division. We did several things that we had not before. This tournament was the first C.P.R. (catch, picture, release) tournament and also the first time we have fished during the summer months. It was a great success!
We had seven species on the catch list and implemented a point system by length of the fish. Everyone was given a card and a measuring stick that had to be in the photo. Everyone caught fish but it seemed that if we had shark, ladyfish, bluefish, catfish or jacks on the list there would have been a lot more pictures taken.
Brennen Tessier released three fish: a snapper, trout and redfish. Taylor Meding released a very nice 26 inch redfish. Trace Meding released four fish, a trout, two snapper and a sheepshead. Andrew Evans released a nice snapper and Colton Hester released a trout.
