A Cape Cod Bay Tournament
By: Capt. Hap Farrell
On July 28th 2007 many of the charter boats that fish the waters of Cape Cod Bay were involved in a day long fishing tournament. For a few years now Eric Hubler has organized a tournament to raise money for the Athletic Department in the Nauset Regional School System in memory of Chris Svenningson. He has booked most of the charter boats who fish the bay. Boats from Barnstable Harbor, Sesuit Harbor, Rock Harbor, and even a boat from Provincetown. The weight of six stripers per boat determine the winner. There is also a prize for the smallest bluefish. It really doesn’t matter who wins, it’s that everyone enjoys themselves and some money is raised for a good cause.
The winners were, biggest bass and most weight went to the Gray Dolphin from Sesuit with second place going to the Osprey from Rock Harbor. The Watanye’s crew, from Rock Harbor, won the prize for largest and smallest bluefish.
