Fish of the Month
Tuna and swordfish are the Fish of the Month for April. Weigh in must be at the MarineMax tackle shop from 7:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. to be eligible for a $50 gift certificate and notoriety. Both of these fish are treated separately, so there are really two opportunities to win in April. Not much time left!
Card Sound Shooting Sports Range
Just a reminder that the Range is now closed for the Season.
