Headquartered at Jennette’s, social gatherings in Oceanview Hall are on tap Wednesday through Friday evenings. Trophies and tackle are given to the highest scoring men’s, women’s and mixed teams at Friday’s banquet.
Additional awards are handed out for individual largest fish for males and females as well as most team points per session.
There’s also door prizes and raffle giveaways that keep folks until the bitter end. According to club officials, Jennette’s Pier also served as headquarters during the early years of the event.
The 480 participants, dozens of volunteer judges and scorers enjoy happy hours and meals together where fish stories get bigger and bigger and bigger.
