The 2nd Rock Harbor Tournament
By: Capt. Hap Farrell
On the 1st of Aug. the 2nd of 3 tournaments was held at Rock Harbor. The boats departed around 11:15 am and returned around 4 hours. later. This is not a real serious tournament, it is meant to have some fun and the winners will receive plaques and other awards some of which are of a humorous nature.
The first one was a success so the 2nd one had an even bigger turnout up at the booth for the Rock Harbor Charter Service (508-255-9757). There is going to be a 3rd and final tournament on the 30th of Aug. and we expect this to top the first two.
The fishing was a little slow on this day but it did not dampen anyone's spirit. Jeff Conklin won fist prize for the biggest bass which was a solid 40 inches. He was closely followed by Pat Sanders with a 39 inch bass. Oliva June won a big floppy hat for landing the most keeper bass. The hat is to protect her swelled head from the sun since she landed 12 bass over 28 inches. Tom Becker was honored for landing the smallest fish which was a whopping 12 inch striper. There were many other awards given out for such things as the ugliest fish, the most fish lost and the like.
A good time was had by everyone and they are waiting to see what the next tournament brings on the 30th of Aug.
