KID'S CRABBING CONTEST

August 14th, Tuesday

Report in already this morning is kingfish hitting blood worms. Unfortunately we are out until Thursday.  Fishbites as an alternative work well.  Report from the rocks the other day was 14 short tog, biggest at 14 1/2". Vendors are having a difficult time getting green crabs & not for lack of trying. We will keep you updated on bait status. Snappers at the inlet on darters, bucktails. Snappers in the bay continue hitting on snapper poppers and small pieces of spearing. Snappers out front as well. Cody, Bobby & Danny out front early yesterday evening& got a lot of short fluke.  Big rays still out there. On Saturday, the Annual Hofnod Kids Tournament was held. There were approximately 170 kids in attendance. Kingfish & small bluefish mostly. The awards got delayed d/t the weather, but it was another successful year thanks to all of the hard work everyone puts in to make a special day for the kids and their families. Can not believe we are at mid-August already. Pretty soon, the island will see fewer people as kids get ready for back to school. I can't believe next  week my son goes back to college and the week after, my daughter. Blink of an eye, blink of an eye. Reminds me to seize the moments and live joyously every day. Despite how busy, start living and doing, find balance & enjoy. We all inevitably have the same outcome, the only difference is how long we have until we get there. We don't know.  So enjoy people! I'm still working on this. Haven't gotten there yet, but I did make it to the beach once this summer. Obviously, I have a long way to go, lol! Hope all of you reading this are living in the day & of course taking every advantage to go fishing. `Sue~
