Recap of NESS’s 7th Annual Francis Pandolfi Porgy Fishing Tournament

This year, NESS was thrilled to host our 7th Annual Francis Pandolfi Porgy Fishing Tournament, and it turned out to be our largest and most exciting one yet! With 50 anglers, from 5 to 18 years old, we gathered for a day filled with family fun and friendly competition.

Several porgy measured between 14-16 inches leading to record-breaking ties…The winners were ultimately decided by the weight of their catches!

We can't wait to see what next year’s event will bring. THANK YOU for joining us and supporting another year of porgy fishing!
