Well that's great news. And it means that this is turning out the way it was meant to. To make friends, raise money, and bring people together and have a great time. It it ever strays from that I will personally make the donation myself and go fish with friends.

As for sponsors this year. Well. I haven't talked to many yet but as per standing agreements from years past and to keep it short. THEY ARE ALL IN.

Also. Will be adding StormR as a sponsor.

Now. In case any of you forget JohnR is a huge supporter of this and gives us free run on making this happen. HE CAN'T BE THANKED ENOUGH.

Fantastic, and you are right that coming back each year is nothing short of awesome. Looking forward to the upcoming auction. Thank you to you, John and all the sponsors!

It is really a trip that I will never forget.

This was last year's recap.

The trip alone is worth much more than my winning bid...not even
accounting for the experience and skill of the fisherman with whom I
was sharing the beach with. These guys are the cream of the
crop and some of the best people you will ever meet.

Nowhere else can you find access to a week of guided fishing with
some of the best striped bass fisherman on the planet....and at the
same time, make a significant donation to the soldiers who have
sacrificed for us. Such an easy decision to make.
