2008 Member/Guest Tournament

Day one of this annual event could not have started any better! Weather conditions were perfect with glassed over flats and mid 80's temperatures, so as teams headed out at 8:30 Sautirday morning expectations were high.


Most teams headed out toward the Abacos where the "Bones" have been congregating in huge numbers. One team at the end of the day reported seeing a school of more than 1,000 fish! At the conclusion of the first day of fishing, the team claiming high score honors went to John and Julie Farina. Daily awards for Top Fly Fishing Angler and Top Spin Fishing Angler went to John and Julie Farina, respectively.


On day two, teams were faced with a whole different set of weather condition. Steady winds from the northeast dictated guides and anglers searching for sheltered waters. Bones were few and far between, so teams had their work cut out for them to catch Team Farina!


While fish were seen and caught during the second day of fishing, the numbers were way down from day one. Daily awards for the second day of fishing went to Charles "Mac" McPherson for Top Fly Fishing Angler and Bill Blane claimed top honors for Spin Fishing Angler.


Combined scores from the two days of fishing resulted in a clean sweep by Team Farina! Congratulations to John and Julie Farina, our new Deep Water Cay Club Champions!

Team Grand Champions- John and Julie Farina

Fly Fishing Grand Champion- John Farina

Spin Fishing Grand Champion- Julie Farina

Congratulations Meko & Samantha!

The bonefish are trembling with fear already!

Spring 08 Update

We'd like to extend a warm welcome to our newest members, Carlos and Claire Musso of Miami, FL. They are long-time regular guests and we are glad to have them as part of the crew.

Also, congratulations to Greg Abramson for hooking his first wahoo (and second and third) during their annual Valentine's Day trip. A 70+ lb. whopper sure did the trick and fed the club for more than a few nights! Thanks for the contribution.

We'll keep you posted on any new developments and we hope to have all of you here soon for the high fishing season. Let the spawning begin!

See you at cocktails!

Member Guest 2007 Results

The 3rd annual Member Guest Tournament was a huge success, with a great time had by all. Cool gift bags and the hope of winning a metal bonefish sculpture provided great motivation to the anglers. Taking home the Grand Champion Team honors were Lane Faison and Richard Turcotte. Lane also walked away with the Day1 top fly angler award and the Overall Fly Angler Award. Nice going! The Day 1 top spin angler honors went to Craig Beatty, Charles McPherson's teammate, who hooked a permit for bonus points. Day 2's top spin angler went to Rich McDaniel, Neil Sullivan's partner. Day 2 top fly angler was member Greg Abramson. Congratulations everyone! Hope ya'll had a blast cause we sure did. (NOTE: Incorrect '08 dates posted previously.) Next year's dates are October 17-19. We already have bookings for the weekend of the Conch Cracking Festival. Call reservations to book your boats now! The trophies and gift bags will keep getting better...

See you at cocktails!
