Benefit Tournament For Crafty?

Since it seems like the Habs is not going to happen this year, would anyone be interested in throwing together an impromptu tournament with all of the proceeds going to Chuck? We could run it the same weekend as usual, Columbus Day weekend, everyone throw in $15, I'll provide prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the form of plugs made by me anyone else who wants to toss in some plugs is more than welcome to sweeten the pot.

What do you all think?

Should we make this sticky and go for it?

-Dave

I would be in.

If there is going to be a raffle or additional prizes I'm sure can come up with some plugs. I can also check with Quonny B&T if you need a weigh station for south county.

That's a great idea, Dave. I can't make it because I'll be on the Vineyard for the Derby that weekend, but will throw a plug in for a raffle or to add to the prize pot.

Fishbones... you could still enter, there's no reason why a fish caught on the Vineyard wouldn't qualify. I figure it might be easier to just have a downloadable weigh slip, maybe snap a phone pic of the fish and weigh slip and post it here.

No one should cheat in this kind of contest, no money at stake and it would be a real kick in cujones to cheat in a benefit contest...

John, what's the best way for us to collect the money? Can people paypal S-B? Or should we reach out to a few tackle shops for in-person cash signups? Both?

I think we're looking at a "no" but I've talked to Joe and we're going to try and bring it back and make it better for next year.

I think in the interest of keeping it simple, it will be surf.

If we do boats too, we're going to need divisions and more prizes... it needs to be easy because we don't have much time.

Catch and Release sounds Great to me, I'll draw up some rudimentary rules and such today and we'll see if we can get this to roll.

I'm in. Since I'll be fishing the Vinyard that weekend, I doubt I'll catch anything prize worthy. In any case, it's a great cause.

I'll throw in a copy of "Surfcasting Around the Block" for the largest bass caught and released on a needlefish plug.

Dave, let me know how I can help.

Maybe fashion it after the C&R tourney the Edge did earlier this year? My only problem with that one was the need to go to Newport to get your "official slip" the day before the tournament. What if we could email the form to all participants the day before? They can then print it out and include that in the photograph to be provided for "proof of catch".

Done. That's how we'll work it right there.

Can we get some love in the Reports Section Toby?

You can paypal the site for $15 (Gift Option) or we can figure something else out if needed.
