Awards Night
This past Saturday we had a full club and enjoyed some steak tips and seafood casserole from Wimpy’s Café at our 2015 awards dinner. Thanks to Kelly Bolton for organizing the event and her dedication to providing some great meals all season as our Activities Chair. OAC President Mary Miller thanked all of the members that have helped with our tournaments this year and mentioned some highlights from the busy and successful fishing season. Bob Lewis presented the derby and annual awards, starting with the Sellars award won by Charlie Richmond and the Master Angler of the Year which went to Dave Ryan. Charlie Richmond next gave a presentation of our “first fish” awards and the lifetime achievement award. Sam Jaxtimer also had a new leaderboard record, with a nice 210.5 lb thresher he caught during the Nantucket Anglers Club shark tournament this summer. Thanks to Andy Little for donating 2 nice St. Croix rods with Shimano reels. All anglers with first place fish in each of the 9 derby species were entered in a drawing and Dave Ryan and Tyler Walantis each walked away with a nice new rod & reel.
 Chatham and Shay Bridge, Michael O’Shaughnessy and Tyler Walantis show off their awards from the 2015 Derby. Mikey O won the youth division of the derby with a clean sweep of striped bass, as well as a new leaderboard record bonito (7.5 lbs), a 100 lb mako shark and a nice sea bass.
