Stedroy Pemberton Wins Big At Fishing Tournament

By: Curtis Morton

The second annual sports fishing tournament hosted by the Hanley’s Road Community Group, was held on Monday, May 4, 2015.

Some 7 boats pushed out from the central point at ‘Dog Bay’ at about 5:30 a.m.; while three others pushed out from Charlestown and one from Oualie Beach.

The fishermen returned with their catch just around 4:00 p.m. and created much excitement for the large crowd on hand.

Last year’s winner ‘Slammer’ noted that he had a bad day and failed to defend his championship trophy with a catch of only 28 fishes.
