Hey There- As a veteran myself, I am interested in this tournament. Is this a tourney from the surf, boat, or fresh water? Thanks.

Bump.
A tourney for a fallen RI soldier can't be this low priority here on S-B?
I've posted this three years in a row with nary a response.

Hi Norm 
I'm not going to be able to fish the tournament but I am going to donate an Angler's Art print to the raffle for Chris's family. I'll drop it off to Kevin at Edwards B&T over the weekend.
Hey, how's the fishing in your backyard? Man, I'm bummed that I missed bobbing for blackfish this Spring  That could have blown my shot for the Club's Tautog contest.
I'll see ya there for the Fall run, anyway 
Talk to ya soon... |

Hopefully that print ends up on my wall.
I've actually been out in Tiverton with Jane for the past 2yrs but I do make several trips to the old backyard when I can.The fishing in the river has been amazingly slow this year but with my dad's issues I've barely fished since Spring.But now that he's fairly independent again I'm going on a fishing bender next weekend and be all out for the Fall
Run!
I'll catch you out there on the water at some point. |

This one died an undeserving death.3rd page back already.   .Would've thought a tourney for a KIA vet would've gotten a little more exposure/response here.Guess I was wrong.
Anyways...anybody wanna hookup Sat. night to fish this tourney? |

CraftCo Industries, LLC d/b/a The Angler's Art (that's me, you numbskulls) is donating a handsome framed original print for the SSG Potts Tourney raffle, along with some other unframed prints.
Hey, Norm, you better get buyin' raffle tickets, bud - this print has your name all over it
I'm tellin' ya, it's you - it'd certainly be a nice addition to the Basswipe domicile. Hell, you can never have too many pictures of fish around the house if you ask me 
I'm dropping it off to Kevin at Edwards B&T in 15 minutes for the raffle. |
