S-B is grandfathered into this tournament. S-B will pay the entry fee (already done) and donate prizes to the raffle.

I will need a list of people to submit prior to the star of the tournament. So join Team S-B and we'll see if we can win this dang thing!

Last year we had an impromptu BBQ on Saturday. We may do the same this year.

Thanks,

John,

As always I will be fishing vor MSBA but 2will hook up with you sometime over the weekend. We (Bob & I) are at the Pine Lodge again. I will bring something for the BBQ so let me know what is up wit dat.

On a side note...Ir really stinks that Weekapaug is no longer sta6y9ng open for the whole tourney. It used to be great to stop by the shop, have a coffee, warm up, chat it upwith the guys, then go back out fishing. Captain Dons does this for the Tri State Tourney.

Yes - for years during this tourney it was open 'round the clock and was a huge advantage. King cove would always offer to stay open for us during our legs, Captain Dons will burn the midnight oil for a tourney too... I could even understand if they closed at 12:30 or something. Just tradition was good...

So - how abouts a quick grille, same place as last year, at the entrance to the OSV trails at the very end of East Beach Rd? 2:30 or so?

Please - PM ME your first and last name so I can put you on the list - thanks!
