There is a 50 registration fee, and awards are presented for the largest and smallest fish and the most interesting catch. Competitors are served hamburgers, hot dogs, pizza and ice cream after the awards ceremony near the pier. Campers learn to sail at Camps Sea Gull and Seafarer . During the first weekend in October, this tournament brings close to 50 young anglers to Sportsman's Pier in Atlantic Beach. Prizes are awarded for the largest of any kind of fish caught, and each angler goes home with a tackle box.
Participation requires only a valid pier pass.
This is the greatest place for games and videos and for things to build, cuddle, paint, put together, discover and, OK, learn. It's a delightful place to take a kid or to shop for a birthday present surprise. The shop also houses educational materials for teachers and conducts workshops in the use of materials. That's because it's the enterprise of a couple of former teachers. I scream, you scream, the whole crowd is eating ice cream and playing in the indoor playroom.
