Take Me Fishin' Fishing Derby Winners

September 27, 2008

Fish bite best when it rains!

Congratulations to the winners of the Friends of Myles Standish State Forest?s 2nd Annual "Take Me Fishin'!" fishing derby! Justin Minahan (green tee shirt), five years old, won 1st place with a beautiful 1 lb. 3 oz. Rainbow Trout; 2nd place winner Taryn Minahan (pink hoodie) caught a 14 oz. Rainbow Trout; Tauri Adamczyk (black hoodie) won 3rd place with her second fish of the day; J.P. Anusewicz (black raincoat, green tee shirt) picked up 4th place; 5th Place went to Devin Fagundes for bagging a nice Bass. Ethan Froese (black tee shirt) won a prize for the most fish caught. These soggy fishers were not bothered by the terrible weather on September 27, because, as all fisher people know, fish bite best on rainy days!

Thank you to Captain John Boats, Plymouth for providing prizes of tickets for two for all-day deep-sea fishing, whale watching excursions and round trips from Plymouth to Provincetown. Lobster Tales, Plymouth presented 3 winners with their choice of a pirate cruise or ice cream cruise for two. For pictures and more about "Take Me Fishin'!" 2008 click here.
