I've watched this tourney through the thread on their site for 2-3 years now and Love it. one of these years I am going to take a week off during it and drive to FL so I can spend a week on the beach.

Thanks for the kind words fish-aholic...If you ever come any where between Sebastian and the Florida Keys let me know, I'll be more than happy to give you a few pointers.

The tourney is now open to several states including North Carolina, Virginia, and Texas you can now fish in your own backyard and be part of the tourney.

Thanks again.

Captain’s meeting:
There will not be a physical location for a captains meeting, we will do all of it online.

Secret item:
The secret item will be announced on Tuesday June 30th and it will be posted on this same thread.

Forms:
Please send the forms by mail.

Tags:
The bonus points are for the sharks you tag at the moment.

We will need the tag numbers you have available on hand, and we will need a close up photo showing the tag numbers.

In the event that you receive more tags from the tagging program then we will need the additional tag numbers and a picture of them. This way we will know when and if you have used all your tags.

Team members:
We want to know who is on what team. We want you to e-mail us or post a picture of your team members. If you e-mail us a picture of your team members we will post it for you. We want this to be a fair tourney and do not want teams multiplying out there.

You must post a photo of your team no later than July 1st and include each of their first names in the post. You do not have to be together in the picture we just want to see their faces and know who you are. This is something very simple to do.

Example of tags picture is below:
