It is that time of year again. All of Jamaica is celebrating Heroes Weekend with National Heroes Day being celebrated tomorrow.

Treasure Beach is celebrating it's 10th Annual Hook 'n Line Tournament this weekend. The tournament started yesterday with 10 boats signed up averaging 3 persons per boat. The sea is calm and the weather looks good for a weekend full of fishing!

At the end of the day yesterday Bernard Sutherland was in the lead with a 32 lb. crossbar with Talla (Raymond) Moxam coming in 2nd with an 18 lb. crossbar.



Wishing all the participants luck!

Wow great job Mr. Nice Guy and crew!!!

As of last evening Bernard Sutherland holds the lead and is now tied for 2nd place with KenDog both weighing in a 22 lb. crossbar.



The final weigh-in will be at 4:30 today at Calabash Bay beach followed by a tasty fish fry.

I'll be there and wish you all could be as well!
