‘Last Chance’ fishing derby has open slots for cash prize

Posted 8/19/09 (Wed)

Even though area schools are starting and temperatures are getting lower, fishermen don’t have to pack up the boat quite yet as the Last Chance Fishing Tournament is only weeks away. Mark the calender as Sept. 12 is the date for the event’s second go round. If area anglers need an excuse to keep fishing until then, just tell the wife she’s in store for a sparkly gift once you win the $2,000 top prize.

According to Gary Suko, one of the events organizers, a local group of avid fishermen started the one-day tournament last year because they noticed all the competitions were done but people still wanted to be out fishing.
