OAC/HAC Shootout

HAC anglers simply caught bigger bass and won the annual OAC/HAC Shootout. Mother Nature delivered a picture perfect weather day and most of the 12 boat fleet were scattered out on the rips at Monomoy. Thank you to Tournament Chair Bruce Cunningham. He spent a tremendous amount of time working with Hyannis to pull this tournament off. Also, thank you to HAC for hosting the Captains meeting and an awards dinner following the tournament. Here are the results:

Bouillabaisse: Youth Fishing & Scavenger Hunt This Friday

This event is for our youth members and friends (15 years old and under) this Friday from 4-8 pm. Our older youth can fish for bass, blues, scup, sea bass or any other of the derby species. The younger crowd can collect as many sea creatures that they can find (clams, snails, crabs, fish, etc). Fishing from 40in with pizza and awards back at the club starting at 7pm. There is no cost for this event (thanks again to our corporate sponsors) and you do not need to register. Simply take your kids, grandkids and their friends out on the water (by boat or at the beach) and bring what you catch or find back to the club for a weigh in at 7pm.

OAC member GW Bridge caught a 12 lb False Albacore south of the Vineyard this past week. This great catch places GW in 1st for albies in our derby and also sets a new OAC club record for the leader board on the wall in the club. Great fish!
