The Annual Hook & Line is this weekend. I understand several teams have entered this year. As soon as I get an exact number I will let you know.
In the lead as of this morning is Kory South & Kirk Parchment with a 37 lb. wahoo. It was Kory's son Kyle who caught the fish!
The weather is perfect for the tournament with nice calm seas and a gentle breeze.
We'll keep you posted!

"Kory and Kirk are leading with a 37lb Wahoo, Raymond Moxam 'talla' with a 32lb Wahoo and Jason 'Froggy' Gordon with a 31lb Wahoo. We have a total of 15 entrants."

Another great Hook 'n Line Fishing Tournament! The weather held out until about an hour after the prizes were handed out. About 7 pm we had a good thunderstorm but by then the boats were in and the prizes were given.
A great crowd came out for this event and as always we would like to thank BREDS for putting on this annual event which is a favorite event for the Treasure Beach community.
I will post all the winners and sponsors as soon as I receive the official list.
Until then . . . the winners are Paolo, DeCosta and Tia with a 39 lb. crossbar/wahoo!
