On Saturday, September 5 the SFEC sponsored a surf fishing tournament for children 17 and under. The tournament was chaired by Bob Adam. It drew an enthusiastic crowd of some 130 youngsters on a beautiful sunny day. The northeast wind held down the number of fish caught, but everyone had a great time. Afterward, all were treated to hot dogs and cold drinks and many prizes were awarded.
