Wide Open Tech was proud to partner up with Fishermans Post again to host the annual 2016 Wide Open Tech Spanish Mackerel Open at Dockside Restaurant & Bar and Wild Wing Cafe in Wrightsville Beach, NC. We had another great turn out this year with 30 boats and some pretty impressive fish caught! The Wide Open Tech team manage to take 1st place in the Single Big Bluefish section this year.
Spanish Mackerel Open
Registration and captains meeting took place on Friday night at Wild Wing Cafe with boats being able to choose either Saturday or Sunday to drop lines. Following weight ins at Dockside Restaurant & Bar, everyone gathered at Wild Wings Cafe for the awards dinner and ceremony.
