Tournament Description
The Stuart Sailfish Club wrapped its 48th Annual Junior Angler Tournament on July 17–18, welcoming seven boats and 19 junior anglers to the water for two days of competition in the Sailfish Capital of the World.
The tournament kicked off Friday night with a captain's meeting and kickoff party at the SSC Tiki Hut in Stuart, Florida. Boats ran offshore Saturday morning under clear skies and warm summer conditions, with temperatures climbing from around 82°F at the start of the day to a high near 92°F by mid-afternoon. Conditions held mostly sunny through the fishing day, and boats returned to the weigh station in the afternoon ahead of the Awards Reception Saturday evening.
