The Stan Gibbs Cape Cod Canal Fishing Classic is a small, invitation-only association of Canal regulars who run a month long tournament to honor the memory of Stan Gibbs. Several SBers are members--myself, Tagger, clambelly, Sea Dangles, TonyO to name a few. One of our goals is to donate a memorial statue honoring all Canal fishermen, which we would like to have erected in the park adjacent to the RR bridge parking lot. The Town of Bourne has apparently given the go-ahead for the statue, as long as it is 100% self funded by ourselves. To this end, the tournament committee is planning to hold a flea market in the town park there, tentatively scheduled for August 29 and August 30. Booths or tables will be sold to anyone who is interested in selling, and it's not limited to fishing gear---any household items would be welcome. The committee chairman spoke to me this morning, and the price for a booth or table (probably tables) will be $30. Two or more people can also split a table. This would be an excellent chance for folks to sell gear they don't want, for plugbuilders, guys who pour their own plastic, and so on. Food and soda/coffee would also be available at a reasonable charge.
As the plans get firmed up, I'll provide more information, including who to contact to reserve a table. Also, I'll try to keep current on who is going to exhibit. Some plugmakers whose product is both in demand and hard to find are SGCCCFC members and should be exhibiting, I would think.
This is just an early heads-up. Further details will follow when they become available.
