Since I can't surf fish anymore,(actually have a check-up oncology procedure this afternoon), I back Clammers offer with mine. I offer a 4 hour morning boat/fishing trip as a prize. Have to be in the Bay but we can hit the lower Bay such as Anawan, Bonnet, Newport etc.

You guys figure out how to award the prize.

Hey, Clamma and Paul - you guys are the best, no doubt about it - can't thank you enough for the family

Don't worry about rock-hopping - I'm starting to realize my days are numbered too - well, in that department anyway.

If you can eat and drink beer - or sodas, whatever you like - there will be plenty to do that weekend.

Besides, grouchy old bastards like me and Joe need a cheering section to give us the strength to go on

Hey, I may not be as good as I once was but by God I can be as good once as I ever was.

I just got off the phone again with Pt Jude Joe and he ran everything by Jess this morning - she's very happy about it.

They do still have some Habs pins we can give to entrants in the tourney and they will be incorporated into the entry fee so everyone who enters gets one (as long as they last, anyway).

A second weigh station is going to be added here on the island at Edwards Bait and Tackle over on Connell Highway (just down the road from the Blooberry Factory). Kevin opens real early (I'll get the times from him) and is happy to help out. There will also be a SoCo weigh station which I think is Quonny but I'll have to double check on that.

I've got a call in to my friend Komes from Flo's Clam Shack about the Meet and Greet Friday nite, should be a go. Me and Joe will also talk to Billie over the next several days at the Blooberry Factory for the awards get-together. I'll also talk to Mrs Iron Mike to see if Michael can come out to play with us - and I'll have DEM on stand-by with nets and tranquilizer darts just in case

That's pretty much it - I gotta turn to, got new tenants moving in in a couple of days so I gotta hustle to get the apartment finished. I've got beaucoup to do and the drywall dust and paint better start flying. The C.N.O. (Chief of Naval Operations) is due home at 1730 hours

[piemma]

You are welcome. Mike and I are happy to help. John was a good friend of mine for a long time. I have several Habs needles that are pre-92. No, they are not for sale. I plan on being buried with them in my coffin. I'm kidding of course. My kid will get them.

May be able to enter, but have to wait until I go to the orthopedist on 9/15. Dislocated my casting finger and may have ligament/tendon damage in it.

Plus I work all day on Saturdays. But if I can't get into the tournament, I'd be glad to try and help out in anyway that I can.

Will post a definitive answer hopefully by the 16th.
