The windy and chilly day did not deter the 20 folks who came out on Saturday,
October 19, to participate in the fourth annual Pine Knoll Shores Fishing
Tournament. Fishermen cast their rods early in the morning at docks, in the canal or
on the beach. Weigh-in began at 4 p.m. at McNeill Park.
Eligible fish in the adult tournament were red drum (18-27 inches in length),
speckled trout, gray trout (weakfish), bluefish, sea mullet and sheepshead. The
winning categories this year were:
• Bluefish—A bluefish was caught by 9-year-old Cora Chleborowicz. Fier fish
' weighed in at 1.7 pounds.
• Speckled Trout—The overall winner of the adult tournament was John Charles
Ward, Jr., with a 2.5-pound speckled trout.
There were no fish caught in the following categories: red drum, gray trout (weak
fish), sheepshead and sea mullet. Although not a tournament category. Bill Steenland
caught a 1.5-pound Spanish mackerel.
Eligible fish for the kids tournament were spot, lizard fish, oyster toads, croaker and
pinfish. Winning categories in the kids tournament were:
• Lizard fish—The largest lizard fish, weighing in at 1.6 pounds, was caught by
11 -year-old Payton Pink.
■ • Pinfish—An 11 -ounce pinfish was caught by 10-year-old Allen Meyers.
There were no entries for spot, oyster toads or croaker.
Winners received medals or plaques to celebrate their catches, and a good time was
had by all.
Special thanks to photographer Lynne Dilauro and to Mike Dilauro for providing
beverages, and thanks to PIKSCO for the use of McNeill Park for the weigh-in. As
with all Pine Knoll Shores events, the support of the town and willing volunteers
made all the difference in a successful tournament.
Congratulations to all the winners. Keep up your fishing skills for next year’s
fishing tournament in October 2020.
