As I mentioned...Mike Roy and his boat won 2nd Place Kingfish. They got $700.00 at the first tournament and today they collected another $250.00 plus a rod and reel and some Costa Del Mar sunglasses. Al won 2nd Place in the Dolphin category yesterday...the same fish came in 3rd in the Shootout tournament. As the t-shirt says...it was a North vs South shootout. You could fish from Port Canaveral or Sebastian Inlet. A group from the port had the winning dolphin....so Al was bumped down to 3rd Place. The No vs So contest was also a fundraiser for the Space Coast Early Intervention Center...they raised about $22,0000, between entry fees, t-shirt sales and a boat raffle. The winner of the new boat was a woman who just happened to be at the restaurant eating lunch. She bought a $40.00 ticket and an hour later had a new 22 ft boat! Not bad!
The only bad thing about the get together was the swarms of lovebugs...it made the deck at Grills look sort of like the set of a horror movie. There were swarms of the bugs on all the windows and they were all over the tables and chairs..and consequently all over everbody's clothes (those white shorts with smashed bugs...yuck!), hair, etc. At least they don't bite!
I almost forgot! The South won!(handily) They will have a trophy on display at the Sebastian Marina for the year....and next year they will shoot it out again.
