March 29, 2008 was Opening Day for the Spear-fishing Contest.

On this day 2, count them 2 boats and their captains went somewhere out WEST. WEST of where you say, they (the captains) say somewhere out WEST of here, not there, and they would not say.

The first captain, Captain 1 Ron and his crew, Dan Maloney and Kevin Bennett, caught a couple of grouper, a few Hogfish and even more Snapper, or  should I say “A BIG MAC DADDY” Snapper, somewhere over 5 pounds. During their trip and while someone was diving, we don’t know who at this time, a couple of crew members decided to go fishing. An to their surprise they were able to reel in 2 Kingfish.

The second Captain. Captain Rich and his crew, “Big Stick” Bob Sofranko, “The old Master” Yoda (Jim) Hall”, “Baby Killer” get your eyes fixed Guy Willin and “Young Spear” (Young Buck) Bobby Johnson (Captain Rich’s Son). While somewhere out WEST, they were able to catch 9 Grouper and 9 Snapper. Not only did they catch Quantity but they caught Quality. However you won’t know this until the Spear Board makes its debut.
Needless to say, But I will say, the WEATHER was DARN RIGHT AWFUL, NO WIND, FLAT CALM SEAS, VISIABILTY OF 35 TO 50 FEET and a WATER TEMPERATURE THAT WOULD KEEP A COLD BEER COLD ON A HOT SUNNY DAY, (69 DEGREES), BURRR.

All had a great day of fun, comradery and even a few fish to cook when they got home.
Happy Hunting from the Spear-fishing news Guy, get it, got it. Until next time………
