Tournament Idea

[tunatamer4]

I think you'd have to make the purse worth fishing for. There is a tourney run out of Wrightsville beach similar to this and it really doesn't generate much of a turnout. Probably because the payout is only a few grand at best and bragging rights.

Weigh in your top three fish. Aggregate as well as individual weights are paid as well as billfish releases. Payouts barely cover costs of fishing it.

We have thought about exactly what you are talking about here in Hatteras.

I am part of the group that runs the Hatteras Grand Slam in July: http://www.hatterasgrandslam.com/

We were thinking about a Memorial Day Meat Slam, propbably Sat and sun Memorial Day Weekend.

The format we discussed: You can weigh three of each tuna (any species legal to catch), dolphin and Wahoo.

Prizes for largest stringer and largest each idividual, like the OC Tuna Tourn.

We have talked about it alot, but have not put anything together yet.

How many of you would come to fish it?

Jay,

I would be interested in coming depending on rules and entry fees. Can you provide us more information...such as fishing days allowed (1,2 or 3)? estimated cost? etc?
