2005 TOURNAMENT RESULTS
The 5th Block Island Inshore Fishing Tournament kicked off as scheduled despite the 'threat' of Hurricane Ophelia. Those who made it out to fish were rewarded with fantastic weather and good fishing. This ended up to be the best weekend weather we have had for this event in its five years. 40 anglers participated and filled more categories than any previous year. Two anglers even filled out the 'Grand Slam' category, again a first for the tourney. Close to $700 for the National Children's Cancer Society once again! Thank you to all our participants!
We would like to thank the sponsors of this event that provided our food and prizes - some of which have supported the tourney from the beginning. They are; Linesider Charters Inc., B.I. Fishworks, Hula Charters, Twin Maples, Smugglers Cove, Paynes Dock Takeout, The Beachead Restaurant, Edward’s Marine, J & B Tackle in Niantic and renowned angler George Gilbert, National Hotel, Block Island Boat Basin, The Princeton Group, Phillips Real Estate, Tattoo's Tackle, The Lonely Angler, Pt Jude Lures, Aldo's Pizza, Block Island Grocery, and Sandy Point Fly Leader Company.
