Anglers have a blast


at annual Rotary Club


Fishing Tournament


Story and photos by Rick Burnham
Editor

 "Any day fishing is an awesome day," said Barbara
Douglas, moments after the four-person team on her boat
brought their day's catch in to be weighed at Saturday's
annual Chiefland Rotary Club Fishing Tournament, held
each year in Cedar Key. The weigh-in took place at Cedar
Key's Capital City Bank, from 3-4 p.m.
 Douglas ought to know. Her boat, consisting of herself,
daughter Amanda Douglas, Capt. Jimbo Key and Jim Key
brought in nearly 22 pounds of fish, good enough to take
the first-place prize of $2,000 for the best bag. They also
claimed first place for the biggest trout, having landed a
4.75 pounder. That catch netted another $1,000.
 "I had a cheering section," said Barbara Douglas, who
landed a three-pound Redfish as part of the boat's catch.
Jim Key, of Saltwater Assassins Fishing Charters, said the
group caught most of its fish using a Saltwater Assassin
Jig with a Cajun Thunder Cork, on incoming tide.
 Across the parking lot; many of the other fishermen
had just weighed their day's catch in as well, and were
awaiting results from the Rotary Club judges. Among
them were Tim Collier of High Springs and Rodney
Rucker of Newberry, who landed a big catfish around
9 a.m., and a sizeable Redfish around noon, using a
topwater plug.
 All in all, it was a good day for all involved. The
Chiefland Rotary Club, which made more than $30,000
in charity donations a year ago, has a great start to doing
more and better things in 2009. The fishing tournament is
the club's primary fundraiser for the year.
 "We would like to thank,everyone for participating
and making this year's fishing tournament a success," he
said. "And we look forward to seeing them back again in
2010."
