O’Bannon takes Tarpon Fly Fishing Invitational 

Sometimes we have to remember that ours are not the only fishing tournaments going on at this time of year. Island son Parker O’Bannon recently took top honors at the second annual Tarpon Fly Fishing Invitational, held May 21 through May 23 at the Tarpon Lodge in Pineland.

The tournament is sponsored by Power-Pole, Costa Del Mar and more, for the benefit of Captains for Clean Water. Using traditional flats skiff fishing boats, anglers and guides may fish any areas accessible by boat from the Lodge during the two days of fishing.

Congratulations to Parker!
