Well, the XVI annual Cocoplum Yacht
Club Fishing Tournament was definitely a success with a field of 46 boats
releasing a tournament record 339 sailfish (127 on Saturday and 212 on Sunday)!
Although the weather conditions were tough (20-25+ knot winds and heavy seas)
both days, the crews and anglers delivered some excitement. Congratulations
to all winners! The tournament committee expressed its gratitude to all volunteers
who surely made this tournament a family event. The XVII annual Cocoplum Yacht
Club Tournament has already been scheduled for January 13-15, 2006. Please
