Here is an updated post of the main awards that will be raffled off for the Hurrican Katrina Raffle Benefit. Remember 100% of the raffle ticket sales goes to the Red Cross since the listed prizes are all provided by various sponsors.

Great event and good cause. I'd like to help.

[J.P Freeman]

thats an awesome idea!

[Capt Ted]

Great idea. What is a BMC Oxygen System?

Hey JP:

The swordfishing has been pretty good lately. You must be giving them a break. Those are some excellent prizes being raffled off. That Avet (50 wide) reel and stand-up rod is a sweet setup. Not to mention all the other good stuff. You can get tickets from Holdemhook online if you like. You do not need to be present to win the prizes. Awarded prizes can even be shipped to you, if you happen to be out of town. Maybe see you down here when the fishing REALLY heats up wih some bigger fish. But with the few big ones being caught lately I cannot imagine them goin much larger. But if they do hopefully you will have at least a 50 wide for the job.

Hey Capt. Ted - That oxygen system is a high quality Live bait well oxygenation setup. There are some articles posted on the forums about the benefits.

Hurry and get your donations into the PBOA Red Cross Benefit and pick up your tickets for every $25 you contribute, but you need to get the donations to the people listed. The Raffle is taking place next Tuesday.

Louis should be at the Sands Patio Bar tonight (Friday 6-9 p.m.). Sands is located a block north of Atlantic Blvd. on the east side of ICW.
