The pier at Pryibil Beach was open, and stretched out into sparkling water, silhouetted against the blue sky, as the annual Mayor’s Snapper Derby took place on Aug. 17.
Children slung rods and lines over the edge of the pier, casting and waiting patiently — some more than others.
Just like “getting your sea-legs,” one quickly became accustomed to the starting and stopping pace needed to avoid getting caught in a cast. The fish, however, never quite got the hang of it.
A total of 55 children enjoyed the beautiful morning. The fish were large and overall about 60 snappers were caught.
