May Angler-of-the Month – Mike Colee. There were 42 entry cards from 18 anglers this month. Congratulations to Angler-of-the-Month Mike Colee. Mike caught 2 Flounder 3.0 lbs & 2.6 lbs (2nd, & 3rd Place Mens and 2nd Largest of the Month), a 18.38 lb Gouper (Blk & Gag)(1st Place Mens and Largest of the Month)and a 5.0 lb Redfish (1st Place Mens and 2nd Largest of the Month) for a total of 500 points. Great job Mike! This months cut-off was May 1st thru May 27th. Cards received after May 27th will count on next months June Angler-of-the-Month. See below for list of all catches.

Cobia Tournament: There was a misprint in the Cobia Tournament Rules. This was a “Boat” tournament but the “Awards” paragraph incorrectly stated “prize structure” was for top three “fish” and that awards would be presented to “top three anglers”. Correction: Awards will be presented at the August meeting to the top three boats that weighed the three heaviest cobia. Click here for Standings. Sorry for any confusion.

Bluewater tournament. The club owes a big THANK YOU to the ACGFA crew that worked during the Bluewater Tournament. The tournament was fished May 17 thru 22. We manned the radio and weigh station for all 5 days and the boats fished any three of the five fishing adys. Thirty-three boats fished and in addition to the weighed fish, there were 1 White Marlin and 4 Sailfish released during the tournament. We had 18 ACGFA volunteers who helped support the Northeast Florida Marlin Association conduct their tournament. You did a great job. The Marlin Club was very pleased with our service. My personal thanks goes to all who helped and volunteered. – Jim Blalock
