Crystal Pier Fishing Tournament 2008






















On Saturday, August 16th...The Kid and I went and collected up about 1/2 gallon of muscle meat (already shucked). The provided bait, but we knew that muscle would be the killer bait.

Not long after the tourney started, Morgan caught a nice Spot Fin Croaker that weighed in at 2 pounds 4 oz. After that, she caught two more BSP's.

The Kid caught a YFC, a BSP, and a Leopard Shark. All fish caught on muscle. For some reason, he never asked his mother to take a pic of him and his fish.

I think everyone was excited about Morgan catching some fish, that we forgot about Thomas Shocked

For lunch we were served Thresher Shark tacos or hotdogs and plenty of water, juice or soda.

At 1:00, they started the raffle and awards. Many of the kids received rods and reels and other gifts. There were many generous prizes! While waiting for our tickets to get called in the raffle, the age group category winners were announced.

Well, Morgan happened to be the 7 and under girl winner with 4 fish, so she was awarded a "Pink Lady" fishing pole with reel, a loaded tackle box, and a beach paddle ball set.

Later, after all the raffle prizes were given out (much to the dismay of The Kid, who didn't win anything (all the numbers around his ticket were called except for his Sad )Morgan was announced as the Grand Prize winner with the biggest fish! She received (which made dad very happy) two fishing poles with reels, a huge loaded tackle box, 1/2 day free, 3/4 day free, a skate board, a beach kick ball, other odds and ends, etc. Way too much stuff to list.
