I think grady273 might know about this one, he pm'ed me a while back about one and asked me if I have fished it before. There is one, but I do not remember when

Mary- I fished in it last year and wanted to see about it again this year, but I can't find it online. I'll have to talk to Tim and see if he knows anything.

I believe the tournament has been discontinued. There was a post a few weeks back on another site that the chamber of commerce decided to not hold it anymore. Ele has the full info.

It stinks, because it was a fun local tournament. I guess now we will have to travel a little further south for tournaments.

Thats a shame!!!!!!.............My son and I fished it last year and it was one of the more affordable tournaments that I could enter.

If we would have made the trip up the bay to the weigh-in, we would have had second place, but we were fishing from Rock Hall and the bay got pretty snotty and we decided to just bag it. When we found out what second place weighed, we could have kicked ourselves, but a decision is a decision!!

Let's throw one together.
$100 bucks a boat, in a hat.

50% of the pot to the biggest fish
30% to 2nd
20% to 3rd

Pick a bar/restaurant to leave from/ return to for "awards banquet"

I'm game.

Let me know when and where. I'm surprised more restaurants or businesses don't put them on.

That sucks our overnight billfish tourney John and them were planning on not weighing the fishing, until I b%tched and we placed second and was in 1st for 24 hrs.

Always weigh your fish you never know!

Hope you guys can put something together!

Mary- good for you with making them weigh it in!

As far as last year, we had 5 footers slamming us sideways and it was a 30-35 mile run up the bay and we had to come back down the bay again to our homeport. We were using my 27 proline and just decided that it wasn't worth the beating that we would have gotten. Oh Well!!
