Gueats in our Panama City Beach Condos had the opportunity to enjoy the Billfish Tournament earlier in July. The panama City Beach Tournament paid Out Nearly $1 Million and Marked Silver Anniversary with Success of New Community Events
The Bay Point Invitational Billfish Tournament made history as 47 boats headed out to fish in the first major all-release billfish tournament on the Gulf Coast. The highly-anticipated tournament welcomed more than 10,000 attendees at Bay Point Marina July 9–13 to enjoy the live entertainment, an artist colony, local food, sponsor displays and, of course, the Friday and Saturday night weigh-ins.
Life is Good took top honors in the Catch and Release category with three blue and one white marlin released for 2050 points. The team walked away with $210,960. Second place went to Wynsong with one blue marlin and one sailfish. Wynsong also captured first place in the Tuna category with a 105.5-pound yellowfin tuna caught by Will Wilson for a total of $208,246, and third place, based on the time of release, went to Jolly-B with one blue marlin for $53,250.
Top Dolphin and $86,882 went to Ms. Mindy for their 51.5-pound dolphin caught by Jeff Friedman and first place Wahoo went to Cory Lockhart fishing aboard Trader’s Hill for his 72.3-pound wahoo worth $84,388.
For the first time in tournament history, the rules called for a release-only format for the billfish category.
In partnership with the Freedom Alliance, the Invitational also paid tribute to members of the Armed Forces by hosting five wounded Iraq War soldiers for a day of Gulf fishing. The soldiers, along with all those who had ever served in the military, were honored during the tournament with a touching standing ovation from the event crowds.
The Bay Point Invitational Billfish Tournament is hosted by the St. Joe Company and Bay Point Marina, and presented by Galati Yacht Sales and Viking Yachts. The 26th Annual Bay Point Invitational is set for July 15-19, 2009. For more information, visit www.baypointbillfish.com.

Panama Coty Beach - Skateboard Park
The Bay County skateboard park at the Pete Edwards Recreation Facility in Panama City Beach should be open byJuly 19th. The park has been under construction for approximately one month.
The Bay County skate park will boast a series of ramps, launches and rail slides that is inviting to a variety of skill levels. The park also is designed to blend, allowing skaters to flow from one obstacle to the next. Drop in the half pipe and there are a number of routes to take: go up the other side, drop off the side and over to the concrete ramps or launch onto the rail.
The park will not be lighted, and thus will operate initially only during daylight hours. There will not be a fee charged, but skaters will be required to sign an at-your-own-risk waiver and wear protective gear. The park also will be skateboard specific so "No BMXs".
Bring your boards if you are planning a trip to our Panama City Beach Condo.

Panama City Beach Trolley New Service
From the News Herald...
The Pier Park Express is up and running….Beach Mayor Gayle Oberst led a group of county government and business officials on board the inaugural trolley run from the Wal-Mart Supercenter to Pier Park on Friday morning as the summer trolley service quietly commenced operations at 10 a.m. Oberst praised the effort to add weekend trolley service to the Beach, noting Front Beach Road traffic congestion has increased considerably as a result of new resorts and the opening of Pier Park.
"I hope this is the first of many projects" to add transit options to visitors, Oberst said, noting the planning under way to establish a commuter transit system connecting the Beach and the new Panama City-Bay County International Airport at West Bay.
Financed by a $125,000 Florida transportation grant and anticipated advertising revenues, the shuttle is designed to provide tourists, residents and Beach employees dedicated mass transit service each Friday through Sunday.
The east-west shuttle service uses two Baytown Trolley vehicles traversing the city in opposite directions from Wal-Mart to Pier Park. The system will operate 10 a.m. to midnight each Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with scheduled stops every 30 minutes during its season, which runs from June 20 through Sept. 28.
The Express is in addition to normal Bay Town Trolley operations countywide on weekdays from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
The Express fare is a flat rate of 50 cents per person, per ride.
