At the Captains meeting Friday night, which was held at Chris' Bait and
Tackle, had a fantastic tournament beginning. 31 boats entered the tournament
with over 150 anglers including junior anglers. At the meeting a raffle
was held for items donated by local businesses and other companies. This
raffle raised another $300 towards toys on top of the over 200 toys donated
by the participants. The tournament also raised another $1600 towards
toys by sales of tournament tee shirts and sponsorship money. We would
like to thank all the sponsors and participants for a great tournament
and hope to see all next year.
