kingfish tournament

Our local anglers’ catches continue to heat up from our waters, whether from the surf, jetty, offshore or the backwater creeks. The water temperature is now in the lower 80s, giving the angler the best action early in the morning or later in the evening.

The Nassau Sportfishing Association’s Kingfish Tournament of Champions began Friday morning. Local anglers were in search of the elusive pogy pods this past week to use for bait in the tournament. The pogies have temporarily disappeared from our beaches. This left many of our local anglers to purchase those expensive live blue runners and goggle eyes which are trucked up from South Florida. The live blue runner and goggle eye can be purchased at the boat ramp for approximately $120 a dozen.
