    Exclamation Cape May Shark Tournament

    After much thought and discussion, we have decided to not have the Cape May Shark Tournament this season. With the state of the economy, we feel it would be tough to get good numbers for this season. Also, getting sponsorship has become even tougher this year. So we will try and rebuild the tournament for next season. In the meantime, we will be working on some other ideas and possibly some other events for our customers.
    Thank you to everyone who has supported us in this event in the past and we look foward to bringing it back better next year.

    Not a shark guy but.....

    you should have it anyway. Just scale it back and sell cocktail or dinner tickets to Harbor View or Lucky Bones. Do the ole' school trophy thing rather than the cash prizes. That way guys can still enter at a reduced rate, the tournament continues, you still get the fuel & bait action, and everybody is happy!

    I bet if you poll it, you will get a decent response.

    Thank you for keeping us in the know. You're 100% correct about things being tight out there and even though we hoped we could slide in this year we on the Mirage support your decision . You are a great person and do enough great things for the fishing community. Thank you for that. Never too early to start thinking about 2010...

    Chuck, If I can ever be of help with some artwork for your t-shirts or prizes let me know. I have seen alot of tournaments fall to the wayside this year. It's real depressing especially when part of your yearly earnings come from tournament exposure like mine.
    Hopefully we all can stick together, help each other out and look forward to kick ass in the near future. I hope to get up your way this year to meet you and the crew!
