Getting closer.  The chatter on the blog has been great, I’ve never seen such great trash talking and can’t wait to continue this on the radio out on the rips on judgement day. We’ll send out the radio channel soon enough, and keep up the talk.  I also want to thank Captain Dangler for suggesting we donate our fish to a local pantry. On that front, I’ve been communicating now with the Family Pantry in Harwich.  They have been great, but it may not work out. We would have to filet all the fish for them, and provide the fish in freezable containers. I’m working on this, but they called this week and said they appreciated the offer but we should try for next year. I’ll update you guys if we get a solution and may need some help from folks to filet up the fish at the weigh in (Tria, I’m talking to you). 

Also want to thank Captain Dangler for offering to donate a custom squid bar – that is awesome!  Any other prizes anyone wants to donate would be great.  The boat numbers are currently pretty low, but that’s usually the case since most boats sign up last second. It makes it tougher for us to put together prize packages, so spread the word and get your forms and cash in as soon as you can. 

I met with longtime Headhunt contributor Puma this week – my fellow BC alum is head of international PR for them and donated some great gear again.  The sizes are a little all over the place because she basically pillages gear from the round the world sailing team, but it is slick offshore puma gear - $400 jackets and $100 pair of shorts, and a high performance shirt – but mostly medium size and a 1-2 larges.  We’ll put together the packages based on the final tally of gear, but so far we have some On the Water subscriptions, Quantum reels, Puma offshore gear, and a custom squid bar – and hope to add a few more things that we’ll dig up. This is all obviously in addition to the cash money!  We also got cozies from Hammerhead Creatives which we’ll give away at the party.  Thank you again Heather Jackson and the Hammah Head team. And big thanks to On the Waterfor including us in the weekly fishing report they send out – if you aren’t subscribed definitely go to their site and check it out – great weekly report on different areas.  

Lastly, sounds the fishing has been 2L2L2Q.  We haven’t been out, sadly, but I know Sports Bag and others have been slaying it out on the rips. One report of 45 fish caught one trip, and our past tourney champ Jailbreak Charters had 50 fish last week on one trip!  I know Sportsbag has been talking a big game, but so far the little fellar seems to be backing it up, and his nemesis Petey has been quiet on the fishing, and trash talking front.  Rare for him.  Either way, love the enthusiasm and thanks to everyone for sending in reports, and feedback and thank you again to Captain Dangler – early favorite for MVP of the tourney right now!

This morning was an interesting morning as I sauntered to the mailbox and low an behold it was a letter addressed to Team Dangler from Mrs. Sports Bag. It read " Dear Team Dangler,
First of all thank you for this years Team Dangler swimsuit calendar. It truly is amazing. Those pics of you guys take me to places no man has taken me before. The real reason I am writing you is that my man Sports Bag has never really been good at anything. He struggles with trying to figure out how to boil pasta for dinner and he really needs a self esteem boost so I was wondering if you guys could add him to your team. Kinda like the Big Brother Foundation for disadvantaged fishermen. If he starred in a commercial he would be the worlds most uninteresting man. The catch phrase wouldn't be "Stay thirsty my Friends but rather Stay hammered people, so you can tolerate him." Please help him win it would mean so much to him. You would have to explain to him that winners trophy is similar to the one he got "for most help needed" when he ran in the 50 yard drool as a youngster with his special class and tripped coming out of the blocks. What foreshadowing that race was...
Finally, if you accept him as a member I'll send his special padded 5 gallon bucket so that when he drinks his juicy juice juice box and has to tinkle he can sit comfortably. Just help him buckle his Grundens back up. He hasn't gotten the fine motor skills for that yet but we're working on it."
Sincerely,
Ms. Sports Bag.

Bag, you got a great misses there buddy. Writing letters to Team Dangler to help you. That is love if I have ever seen it. Unfortunately, we already have the team comprised of IGFA Hall of Famers but maybe next year if we decide to expand we'll keep you in mind.

Regards,
Team Dangler

Love this tournament talk. Had some harrowing moments over in the fresh water circuit before.That's right, I'm talking about every fisherrnan's nightmare, the one that makes one wake up in a cold sweat. The day I hooked up to a 6 inch perch. Froze in my boots , saw my life flash before my eyes. But I prevailed in the heated battle. But now comes the ultimate test. Going after the sunfish. This one's going to be fought and won in the trenches.....this isn't going to be pretty. But I have an ace up my sleeve. I was given the Blessing of the Fleet by the Reverend Storm "Boston Dangler" Dupont.The ceremony was an absolute ball smasher! It will carry me through. No way that fish can stay down with three barrels.Anyway, Good Luck in the tournament guys, but Beware of the vessel 'The Soaked Donut'........a living hell
