As part of it’s Benefit on the Bay, Southwestern Yacht Club (SWYC) in Point Loma will host its annual bottom-fishing tournament Saturday, April 25. The event begins at 5 a.m. with complimentary breakfast at the club, followed by a full day of fishing, an official catch weigh-in, and a reception and fish-fry dinner at 6 p.m. The awards ceremony includes a perpetual award for the fishing club with the most weight of qualifying fish, along with numerous other individual prizes with categories for men, women and juniors, plus lots of raffle prizes.
