2012 S-B / Run To Home Base Catch & Release Charity Tourney
2012 S-B / Run To Home Base Catch & Release Charity Tourney
We will be running the charity tournament again this year.
The cause:
All the money raised will go to the Home Base Program , to help soldiers and veterans suffering from traumatic brain injuries suffered from their service in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Tourney Site: FishForSoldiers.com
Goal: Our goal is to have a fun charity tournament benefiting and honoring our service veterans returning home from Iraq & Afghanistan. I will run a 9K race, ending at home plate on Fenway Park, with the proceeds going to this cause.
This fundraiser is supported by the Red Sox Foundation, Mass General Hospital, and many other teams running and fundraising for this cause.
Payment:
$ 20 to enter, and it all goes to the charity.
Two ways to pay:
1) Go directly to my donation page with a credit or debit card, and click on make a donation in the red toolbar.
Red Sox Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital Home Base Program
2) You can also pay by check. I am attaching the paper that needs to be filled out and mailed in with the check.
Just click on this link: http://fishforsoldiers.com/support/i...F_2012-GW2.pdf
Rules:
Honor System! We are raising money for people who live and die by a code of honor. Please use honesty.
Catch and Release Only!!
Where can you fish: Anywhere wild striped bass are caught in the Northeast. Any time, any where.
Who Can Fish: Everyone – Don’t need to be a S-B member – invite your friends as this is a great cause. Other sites (where allowed by that site) invite them too.
Single Angler: Have your camera ready – no surprise, the object here is a quick C&R so the camera should be ready to go.
Teams: When fishing with others, one person NOT catching the fish records the fish for the person catching the fish. 1 Fish, 1 Point. The object is a quick turnaround getting the fish back in the water. For a rare moment in your life, size doesn’t matter .
Points will increase chance for prize but do not guarantee prize.
Kids: Under 18 are free when fishing with an adult partner. Kids will have a chance for prizes as well.
We will have a daily tally and a final tally online at FishForSoldiers.com and/or S-B.
State whether fish is Shore, Boat, or Yak.
Favoring a quick release on fish, we will forgo the length measurements.
Honor System!!!!
Prizes
Actual Prizes To Be Determined – we will have some prizes for different categories, such as most fish caught, most days where a fish is caught, best junior angler C&R pic, and smallest fish PHOTO – We’re looking to have some fun here while supporting a great cause.
Prizes will consist of lures & stuff if I can’t get any donations I will go down to the local tackle shop and buy the stuff myself.
Smallest Fish: As we are skipping measurements, the smallest fish will be photographed where a poll will place the top smallest fish contenders for a vote to determine who is the Schoolie Whisperer.
Duration:
3pm May 3rd until 9am May 13th. Final tally due from all anglers noon May 13th
Thanks!

Greg, I just noticed that the entry fee is $10 this year as compared to $20 last year. Is that a typo? I can't speak for everyone, but I think $20 is reasonable again since it's all going to charity.

I'm the idiot that messed it up (just got a million things going on), I'll cover it. Plus I probably owe you from the tab the last time we went out. |

Is it the most fish caught? And do you need a pic of each fish? If you are by yourself (most of the time I am), Can you just snap a pic of the fish??

Nice start, Numbskull! I went out last night, and being too tired to drive the extra 20 minutes to a spot I knew held fish, got skunked. Oh well, hopefully I'll get a chance to get out this weekend.

Nice start! Looks like I'm going to have to step up my game... I fished around four hours last night for one short which I dropped at my feet...

Two tonight. Quit early because I was floating on air. 1 small and one 43".  Released.
Took it on an xra 1083 and calcutta 200. As exciting a fish as I have ever hooked. Totally unexpected.
God, I love fishing. |

Real nice fish, George. She's bleeding but it doesn't look like she was hooked anywhere vital.

Just an external gill plate tear, she was fine.
Fishing is funny. This was likely only a mid 20# fish, but there was something special about her.....probably the unexpected nature of her showing up so early, after an unproductive winter, in a spot I've fished my entire life, while focused on little stuff, and on tackle that let her show her best....... that has me smiling and shaking and feeling like a kid again. Not much in life that does that. Go get 'em. |

I'm cold!
1 tiny fish Sat (pic). 16.5"
1 tiny fish tonight (no pic but witnessed by Earlybird/ArtMako)
Thank god he didn't enter, none of us would have a chance against him and his flyrod.
Anybody else fishing this thing, or am I posting on the wrong site?

I'm fishing it, but have nothing to post yet. Not much time to fish between my sons baseball and lacrosse practices and games. I took him out for a bit this morning and neither of us got anything, but we had a lot of fun. Getting skunked with him is better than getting into fish by myself.
