2023 Recap of The ARC KDW Tournament:
Anglers of all ages fished ARC of the Treasure Coast’s 9th Annual KDW Offshore Fishing Tournament on Saturday, June 17th at Pirate’s Cove Resort and Marina in Port Salerno. It was a day of fun in the sun and on the water in support of more than 1000 children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families, from Jupiter to Ft. Pierce.
With a fleet of 26 registered boats and a dozen individuals fishing aboard Safari 1, anglers brought in a mixed bag of Kingfish, Dolphin, Grouper & Snapper. First place cash awards went to Rich Rhatigan for his 25.12 lb. Kingfish, Zach Hayden for his 5.36 lb. Dolphin, Jimmy Parkes for his 15.01 lb. Snapper and Noah Scammell for his 21.39 lb. Grouper. Second place awards went to Michelle Halstead with a 18.7 lb. Kingfish, Cheyenne Ellison Jr. with a 3.75 lb. Dolphin and Kaylynn Woods with an 8.15 lb Grouper. Third place awards went to Larry Baker in the Kingfish category, Camron Sullivan in the Dolphin category, Doug Buys in the Snapper category and Jeremiah Peloquin & Kevin Beers in the Grouper category. Michelle Halstead took top Lady Angler and Caleb Buys took top Jr. Angler.
Thanks to Capt. Pete Morello on My Last Honey and Capt.Rocky Carbia on Safari 1 Deep Sea Fishing, several ARC clients were able to participate and enjoy a day of fishing and fresh ocean air. Other ARC clients manned wheelbarrows to get anglers catches from their boats to the weigh station. Volunteers from Jupiter to Ft. Pierce gave their time and attention to all the details, ensuring a fantastically fun day overall.
