The 2013 Surf Fishing Tournament was held Friday and Saturday, May 10 and 11. The weather Friday was great, but Saturday was “iffy”… Not too many fish entered the tournament. Nevertheless, a good time was had by all.
Randy Roash chaired the tournament. There were 28 entries, including eight children.
