The Purpose
Pink Tie Friends, Inc., is a grassroots non-profit organization created in 2004 to help un- and under-insured 
individuals battling breast cancer. Pink Tie Friends assists women and men in St. Lucie, Martin and Indian River counties.
The People
In addition to featuring the debut of the 2011 Pink Tie Friends calendar models, honoring survivors and loved ones who have battled or are still battling breast cancer, the Pink Tie Friendship Luncheon features a rare appearance and performance by none other than the King of Rock ‘n Roll himself Elvis Presley. If you’ve never had a chance to see Elvis, as portrayed by Darrell Dunhill, you’re in for an incredible hands-on treat. Pink Tie photographer Mitch Kloorfain will share the emcee duties with Treasure & Space Coast Radio’s Hamp Elliott, and there will be plenty of surprises that will make you laugh, cry and celebrate the gift of life and the gift of giving we often take for granted.
The Party
“Paint the Town Pink” is from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. on Aug. 21 at the Port St. Lucie Civic Center. Lunch begins at 11 a.m. and features a very pink silent auction, raffles, door prizes that will make you think pink long after the day has gone, the debut and introduction of the calendar models for 2011, and a rare appearance by the King of Rock ‘n Roll Elvis Presley. The only downside is that tickets to this event are limited and, at $35 per person, they’re selling quickly. The Pink Tie Friendship Luncheon is a perfect opportunity to gather a whole group of friends and paint the town pink. For tickets and additional information, call (772) 344-1365, or visit www.pinktiefriends.org.

As summer continues to bring the hot weather to our area, the fishing greatly improved this past week. We have enjoyed catching redfish, snook and trout out on the flats or around the docks. Capt Charlie managed to get out one day to do some scouting and another day fishing with Clint Walker of the Fishing Center. Getting out early gets you off the water before the heat of the day sets in. It was a good week fishing!
Top water has worked very well in the early mornings. It produced redfish, snook and trout this week for us. Fish the docks, glass minnow pods or along the channel edges to get your results. Capt Charlie did find some nice redfish up on the shallow flats in one to two feet of water at midday this week. A couple were even tailing for a change. DOA shrimp works best in shallow water for redfish. My largest was a healthy 29″ this week. Try around the Moorings or north of Harbor Branch for redfish or the docks south of Fort Pierce.
Trout were biting top water, live pigfish and DOA CAL jerk baits. Capt Charlie even landed one on a BFL lure among the many glass minnows. Try the deeper edges of the flats or around the docks. Some big trout are out there feeding. Our largest topped 26″ this week. Snook fishing remains good at the jetties for those anglers using feather jigs, TerrorEyz or live baits. Capt Charlie did land two this week while fishing the drop offs around the glass minnows. There are plenty more out there. Utilize the bait schools to help in your success. Lots of snapper are being taken along the channel edges and again…..around the glass minnows. Live shrimp always works best for them. Lots of ladyfish and jacks have been cruising the river to give you even more action out there. It’s been a great week!
Tip of the Week:
Finally…it looks like snook season will open on September 17th. I am sure there are lots of eager anglers waiting to catch that slot snook for dinner. Sometime this month do a simple check of your license to make sure both your license and snook permit are current. You know that the FWC will be out there checking, so save yourself a headache and fine now. Capt Charlie thinks the first few days of snook season will be pretty hectic this year, so make your plans now and insure that you won’t have any problem should you be checked for licenses or safety equipment. Good luck out there!
Remember, fishing is not just another hobby….it’s an ADVENTURE!
Good Fishing and Be Safe!
