Well, two more boats added today which puts us up to 153 for the tourney Saturday. Winning prize is now up to $79,500, $52,000 for second and $25,000 for 3rd. In reality, I have no idea how many boats we’re actually up to but I think it should end up being around 25. Winning prize should be close to last year, about $1500 to winning boat, and we have a number of other prizes from On the Water, Puma, Sunrise Bait & Tackle and artist Jean Burke (our mom so watch it). The Puma stuff is pretty slick, got a pair of ocean sailing shorts that have a price tag of $110 as well as some other gear that’s even sweeter – thanks again to head PR honcho Sara Gottman for coming through with the stuff. She’ll also be at the party sizing up the crowd for official Puma boat sponsorships so be on your toes fellas.
For fishing, my bro, and Team Jackal Captain, is heading out commercial fishing tomorrow, and we’ll be sure to post the numbers tomorrow if he has any luck. Just check back. I talked to him tonight and he did say they were headed out 5 clicks east of echo 5 charley bravo mothra, so should be a good place to hit on Saturday for the big boys.
Good to see the comments lighting up a bit, and the boyz from Cape Cod Sports Bag getting into the fray, I’m definitely up for talking some sports smack with them over a few beers this weekend. First topic, why BC football is the best. Second topic, why BC basketball and hockey are also the best. Third topic, why Notre Dame sucks at everything.
If anyone has any fishing reports, true or false, that they want to post, just send them our way at headhunt@gmail.com and I’ll post them. I know some folks have had trouble posting comments to the blog, just email them to me and I can post them pretty quick.
I did hear that someone recently said that we picked white t-shirts because they are the cheapest to make. Gotta love that positive feedback on the tourney. This tourney is really just to put a little scratch on something we all love to do, fan the flame of community spirit and have a great time. We have great sponsors, a great party, and always a great group of participants. Can’t thank people like the boys from Boston who make the trip and hire charters every year to be a part of it enough – that’s what we’re all about. It takes more time and effort than everyone thinks, and pretty much tears our family apart for a month every year, but it’s worth it – even if we can win the damn thing ourselves. Yet.
We only have a few days to go so time to start mapping strategy. Looks like high tide will be anywhere between 2 am and noon mountain time so plan accordingly.
By the way, all colors of shirts cost the same – white ones just look better.
