Bouillabaisse: Youth Fishing & Scavenger Hunt Recap

Our one week delay of this event proved to be a good decision as we were blessed with sunny skies and light southwest winds. Five boats filled with OAC youth anglers spent this past Friday evening in search of various species including: bluefish, scup, fluke, sea bass, crabs, minnows and clams! Ashley Walantis won 1^st for the younger youth with a 1.6 lb scup. Maeve Bedenkop collected the most species with a total of 7. Nick Swaylik got a slam by catching fluke, sea bass and scup. Lindsay Lewis landed a nice 10.15 lb bluefish to take 1^st for the older crowd. Everyone enjoyed pizza back at the club.

Thanks to Andy Little from Powderhorn Outfitters in Hyannis. He showed up to the event with rod & reel combos, tackle and prizes for all the kids. Andy has been a great supporter of our youth events.
