[dropcap]O[/dropcap]ther than the wind, the weather for the December ‘From the Shore’ tournament was great—but even with an incoming tide all morning, the bite was slow. Catch and releases of puffers and a small pompano were recorded with the biggest fish of the tournament, a 1.10-pound catfish, being caught by 1st grade student Dillon Furiato.
