Sailfish season kickoff

Every November the charter captains bring their boats to the Riverwalk docks, the sailfish club sets up a tent in Flagler Park and the town declares the season open. There are knot-tying tables for children, a talk at eleven on where the fish were last week and where the first cold front will push them, a display of release tags and the photographs that go with them, and a long table of fish dip from three kitchens, judged loudly.

It is free, it is outdoors and it is the easiest way to meet a captain before you book a day. Bring questions; they like them.

Good to know

• The Riverwalk lots fill by ten; park downtown and walk.
• The captains’ talk is the thing not to miss.
• Children’s knot tables run all day.
• Rain moves the talk to the Riverwalk Stage; everything else carries on.
