[cappyD]

Hello fish fans,

Capt. Eric Stewart and I want to extend an invitation to the 2nd Annual 2011 Northeast BIG GAME BASH which will be held at the Boston Quincy Marriot On Feb 25th and 26th. We have been working diligently on our brand new itinerary, adding more speakers and a unique variety of exciting new topics. After the success of last year’s event we have
secured more space at the hotel and will be expanding the
vendor/presentation area giving you MORE TO SEE AND MORE TO DO!

With 2 days and over 19 hours of instruction we guarantee you a sportfishing event that goes above and beyond what you have experienced in the past. Our Big Game Bash website is being updated and the itinerary will be posted soon. Capt. Damon will have the new video trailer up and running to help get us all in the mood! The tickets are the same price as last year at $150.00 per person pre-paid only. There will be no tickets sold at the door.

The first 100 tickets sold will get a special door prize when they register at the BASH and you will automatically be entered to win a Penn 30VSW reel. The tickets are available at “The Hook-Up!” Bait and Tackle Shop by calling 508-240-0778 or you can register online at our website. We except MC\VISA, AMEX, Discover and checks. Please check

Sicerely,

Capt.Damon Sacco

Nice Video Guys, looking forward to being a part of the seminar again this year, last year was a blast. For all who did not attend, I highly recommend attending this seminar almost 2 full days of fish catching tactics and fun.

Im just working on my bluewater presentation which will cover a vast assortment of tricks that will help improve your hook-up ratios at the canyons. Every season my crew and I develop new techniques out there, and we have some good ones to share this time around!

Happy Holidays.
