We came in 6th, missed 5th by a couple pounds and were a couple fish aways from 4th and not more than a few away from 1st. If we were to put a full press effort into this next year and organize ourselves as many of the other clubs do (arrangements for lodging and such, marking the calendar earlier in the year) we could do some real effort.

Lots of the other clubs give this a good push and have a good time as it is for a great cause.

Thumbs up for all that showed for S-B. Big thumbs up for those that organize this event to support a charity that can use more support

This tourney raised in excess of $1100 for MS this weekend, good work by all

Had a good time meeting a few of the guys at the cook out and the breakfast and it was good to help put some fish on the board for s-b all in all I think s-b did a good job for the size of some of the other clubs involved.

BTW - Shadow weighed in a 25#er, Tynan hit with 2 10+ blues, and Longshot had 1 10# blue - there may have been other fish brought in but I did not see any list since some point Saturday....

Thanks all!

they NEED to get a B&T open for 24 hours. for guys w/a decent drive. Coming back sunday AM to weigh in a fish is a tough call.

Agreed. I actually started talking to Jim KcKeough about it a few weeks ago and he seems receptive to the idea of additional weigh stations and a possible fishing area increase. Hopefully a few others sent emails too, otherwise it was mine he was referring to when he talked about making changes next year.

I notice your profile says CT, you may want to contact him as well if you want a weigh in closer to there. I've asked for one either just over the bridge or on Aquidneck Island as well as an expanded fishing area region including Newport if not further East.
