Good morning,
When Capt. Joe & I got to the bait shop we
weren't quite sure how the weather was going to hold up for the
morning. As usual the weather man said there was no wind and when we
got there it was about 10mph out of the south east and the sky was full
of clouds. One dad had said it was raining in Port St. Lucie when they
left the house. Well, everything worked out and after about 8:30am we
had a beautiful day for fishing.
We had 15 TCC's sign up for the tournament and on
the fish list we had black drum, bluefish, flounder, mangrove snapper,
redfish, sheepshead, snook and trout. All the TCC's reported catching
fish - some were too small or not on the fish but everyone did catch
fish. One TCC even reported catching a pretty good size stingray. So
far this year no one has weighed in a snook which has a 50 point value!
Mackenzie Tessier caught the only flounder and DJ
Markowski caught the only Spanish mackerel. Savannah Ward caught the
only black drum and she also had 2 sheepshead. Andrew Evans caught 2
snapper and Maxwell Higgins had a sheepshead and a snapper.
HIGH SCHOOL DIVISION1st place - Maxwell Higgins - Treasure Coast High - Port St. Lucie - 30 points2nd place - DJ Markowski - Westwood High - Ft. Pierce - 10 points3rd place - no fish weighed
MIDDLE SCHOOL DIVISION1st place - Savannah Ward - Forest Grove Middle - Ft. Pierce - 45 points2nd place - Andrew Evans - St. Anastasia - Ft. Pierce - 30 points3rd place - Mackenzie Tessier - Imagine School - Vero Beach - 25 points
Biggest Fish went to Savannah Ward for her 2lb. black drum. Savannah received a trophy and a TCC t-shirt.
All TCC's that placed received a trophy and a prize
bag. Maxwell and Savannah each received a $25 gift card to Bass Pro
Shop for the 1st place finish.
A special THANK YOU to Capt. Ed Zyak for being our
guest speaker at the meeting on Saturday. He spoke to us on behalf of
D.O.A. Lures and shared a lot of very good info. Many of the TCC's
tried some of the techniques he shared with us.
Thank you to all the parents, aunts and Capt.
Charlie Conner for always volunteering their time to take the TCC's
fishing. We hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a safe and
Happy New Year. See you in February!!
