REPORT FROM THE WEIGH STATION

Thursday Day 1

A strong south wind kicked up some very rough sea conditions and a good dousing of rain was just the icing on the cake for what turned out to be a miserable day on the ocean. Despite the conditions 5 out of our 54 tournament teams ventured out (all returned home safely) and all managed to catch sharks and/or bluefish. We had a decent crowd at the weigh-ins and when it was all over we had recorded the following results:

Friday Day 2

The ride out was still a bit rolly-polly for the boats but as the day progressed the seas calmed down and most teams reported a lot of fun action on the sharking grounds. At the scales it was a time to see some impressive makos with three of them coming in at well over 200 pounds! Lots of sharks released today including makos, blues, sandbars, duskies, threshers, hammerheads, and tigers – way to go everybody!!!!!
