BOMA Boston sent a fleet of 25 fishing vessels out from Rowes Wharf on May 29th, for their annual striper and bluefish tournament, sponsored by DTZ, a UGL Company. Despite the rainy conditions, over 120 participants caught a total of 219 fish, the highest total since 2010. Chapman Waterproofing Company, aboard a boat named "Fish Tails," took home the coveted Cleat Box Award for catching 32 fish in total - the most out of any boat that went out.

Fishing tournament participants attended an awards luncheon sponsored by A.W. Perry, Inc. and Stanley Elevator Company at the Daily Catch.
