Tarpon tournament caution as anglers neglect entry cards
The Padkey couple from Pine Shores Trailer Camp failed to register for the 76th Annual Tarpon Tournament after catching a 31 pound tarpon near Stickney Point. With no other big catches reported by 6 a.m., the missed entry could have earned the daily Zippo lighter prize funded by Sarasota Bank and Trust. Officials urge membership, available for $1 at local camps, hotels, tackle shops, and the Chamber of Commerce, plus the Sarasota Anglers Club for the Small Fish Tournament. The week saw many catches but few tarpon reported at the weigh station, while activity is expected to rise as summer vacationers arrive.
