The 3rd Annual Bob Regan Bloody Mary Fishing Bash held April 10th 2011 at the Islamorada Fishing Club was a huge success. Anglers and friends of Bobs gathered for the festivities that included a Bloody Mary party at the Islamorada Fishing Club from 8-10 AM. Some of the participants went fishing and some did not. The party reconvened at 5 PM. When the fishing score sheets were totaled, 189 fish had been released. “This is one of the great fun events held at the Islamorada Fishing Club”, stated tournament chairman Dianne Harbaugh. “This is a family fun event that was Bob Regan’s idea. He wanted to have a party that included fishing. We serve his famous conch chowder in his memory each year.” Everyone enjoyed the awards bash that not only included Bob’s famous conch chowder, but a great BBQ and an open bar compliments of our supporters and sponsors. Winners of the event won entry into next year’s tournament. Tournament winners were:

• Most Species Chris Elwood 8 different species
