Based on 50 boats:

1st Place - $6,000
2nd Place - $3,000
3rd Place - $2,000
4th Place - $500
5th Place - $250

$100 Division - depends on the # of boats entered
$300 Division - depends on the # of boats entered

If we get more than 50 boats then the #'s go up - if we get less then the #'s go down.

I hope this helps.

is still early but the forcast says 5 to 7 seas on saturday. 5-7 usually means is going to be 9 to 10'. What would be the grounds for canceling the tourny and moving it to the next weekend? When is the decisison made and how people is notified? thanks

How many boats are registered so far?

rafter, as of 9:30am 11/14 buoyweather has it at 3-5 out on the 50.

I think we all went through this with the last SAIL club tourney and it turned out to be a perfect night.

All events surrounding this weekends tourney are still a go. We cannot make the decision to reshchedule until we get much closer to Saturday. Please know that we will not put any of our anglers in jeopardy - that is not our mission. If it's bad - we will make the call to reschedule to the following Saturday night. Until then, we just wait and see.

Thanks,
Drew

Rafte,

No - that does not apply to our tourney. We have 6 pre-registered boats which is the norm. The majority of participants register the evening of the kick-off party.

Thanks,
Drew

Is there free food and drinks offered at the kick off party? As the captain of the boat am i the only one to sign the forms, if any, for the tourney? or every crew member has to sign? What should I expect or do at the kick off party? other than paying the entry fee. I am sorry for asking so many questions I am never being in a tourney before. ops:

Rafter - if you are the only one to sign on Thursday that is fine. Hopefully you will weigh a fish and at that point we can get everyones info. Good luck.

As far as the kick-off party - there will be a raffle with alot of great prizes and t-shirt sales, etc... We will also have a meeting at 8:00pm and go over all of the rules, etc...

We encourage everyone to sign up on Thursday night. Here is the situation regarding the weather:

If the weather report stays the same - we will change our fishing night to next Saturday - November 25th. But if the weather improves between now and Saturday then we will continue on and fish Saturday night.

I encourage everyone to come out to Bonefish Mac's Thursday night. We will have alot more info at that point. If you choose to wait to sign up, we will designate a time & place on Saturday for late entries. If the tournament gets pushed back to next weekend then we will do the same for next Saturday. Most likely late entries will be at Bonefish Mac's either this Saturday or next Saturday from 11:30am - 1:30pm.


All is up in the air right now. We just have to wait and see what happens.

If anyone has any questions - please feel free to call 954-588-0508 or 954-946-4119.

Thanks,
Drew
