some of you remember that I fished in a striper tournament last december off hatteras island. well, I am pre resistered for this years and there is a press release about the tourney that I found rather cool. this is the second tournament and it's being covered by the outdoor channel. I am already thinking about what I am gonna say when it's all over and I got a bunch of cash.

August 13, 2006

Press Release:

IF you can get in, I would reccomend that you do. it is an awesome tourney. I think last year I was the only one that didn't win a door prize. the door prizes are sick, weekly rentals, charter boat trips, custom rods, all the way down to custom lures. they upped the ante for the money too, it's like 3,000 for first, 1000 for second, 500 for third, 200 for fourth, and 100 for fifth in bnoth categories. and every participant gets a bag of fishbites, a carhart sweatshirt with the tourney logo, and a pack of gami 8/0 hooks, plus some other stuff in a goodie bag when you show up.

I am on the waiting list,,,I hope with a little luck I get in,,,sounds like a good one.
