DO NOT BAIL OUT OF THE BARTA GIG!!!

[WAHOONBOX]

GEEZZUS .......I JUST HEARD SOMEONE CANCELED A CHARTER ON THE WATERFRONT CAUSE THE WEATHER LOOKS BLEAK ON FRIDAY

IMAGINE IF ALL BOATS WHO ARE TO REGISTER TOMORROW AND THOSE THAT ARE ALREADY REGISTERED (OVER 70) .....CANCELLED FISHING THE TOURNY!!!!

IT'S ONLY $500 BUCKS !!!!!!!!!!!!! GEEEZ..........IF EVERYONE CANCELS.....THAT WOULD BECOME A $100,000 LOSS ....

WHO WILL PAY FOR THE TENT RENTAL? WHO WILL COVER ALL THE EXPENSES?


THE HORROR OF CANCELLING OUT

THIS TOURNY IS DESIGNED TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE BOYS & GIRLS CLUB.............WHERE'S YOUR HEART AT?

[Bite Me]

The Bite Me armed with a Holwatchagot, a Biscuit, a Predator named Warren and 3 eager JR.s will be there with bells on come hell or high water!

Well, I'm ready to have a great time whether on the water or at the dock. Those who have not been to this event before do not realize that there is much more than $500 worth of fun, entertainment, and good will, regardless of the fishing.

I'd go out in a gale if someone else was driving the boat, especially the pros along the MHC waterfront. Since I'm driving my own boat, I'm going to stick my nose out of the inlet and let the weather decide if I go out after whitey or stay in after sails and kings. If it's too sloppy, I'll go back to the dock and let the kids catch sheepshead, seabass, puppy drum, etc. at the town docks like they did at night last year. This tournament is not a financial transaction, it is an opportunity to see the best that the fishing community has to offer, and let a bunch of kids have a great time as well.

One thing to remember, if you go out and let a kid catch a Spanish, he/she will weigh it in and Tred will make the kid feel like a hero when they do. They all get a trophy or medal if they catch a fish or help out on the boat (even if the boat gets blown out).

I hope everyone realizes that what is happening in Beaufort this weekend is much bigger than the forecast, and it will be a very good time for all, regardless of the seastate Friday and Saturday.

The forecast I'm seeing is 15-25 4-7 ft. That's Bad?

4-7 is not that bad but when you consider all the young kids that will be fishing it is a little sporty.

[TROPHY SPORTFISHING]

Andy is right most of us have fished a whole lot worse but hope it lays down for the kids so they can get 2 good days.

[EMTAE]

We were set to fish it but when you have a 7yr and a 10yr old that have never had to go out in 5/7 ft seas............I would have to say that would be the first and last time the little one would ever want to go and fish with daddy.If they want this to be for the KIDS THEN PUSH IT TILL SAT& SUNDAY.Not everyones can fish on 40+ft boats.Sat ne10/15 sea 2/4ft Sunday nw 10/15 seas 2/4.

This tournament is all about raising money for a great cause and putting a smile on the kid’s faces. There are fish to be caught from the turning basin on out and my crew will not let me stop until we find them or it is time for lines out of the water. I have a 9 and a 6 year old that are ready to get there medals and they are ready to "do the work" to earn them. Hope to see everyone there.
