It is getting to be that time of year again. The mullet are in the canals and we are starting to get some comfortable days. This is the first of our winter HAT tournaments. The rules are below. We will have more than sailfish count just in case they are not around in any numbers yet. We are planning to have lunch at the Yacht Club at 1pm so the tournament hours will be from 7 to 12. Lets have a great turnout! As usual, sign up on the website or email me at mrepetski@att.net.

Thanks,

Mark

This will be a boat tournament – captains pick who they want on their boat. The only requirement is that there are at least 2 club members on the boat to participate in the tournament. The Bimini Big Game Club is also having their Wahoo Smackdown tournament from 11/13 – 15 so we will overlap. Our tournament day will be the 15th. Our rules are below. The rules should allow you to fish both tournaments at the same time on Saturday if you also plan to fish the Smackdown. I have checked and at this point, there does not look like there will be any problem getting accommodations. People can stay where they want but I anticipate most will stay at Bimini Sands.

At this point, I would like to get a list of those that would like to participate. Email, call or sign up on the website. Let me know whether you plan to take your boat, who is fishing with you, and if you have any room for other club members.

As weather is always a question, we will try too have a backup date for the following weekend – 11/21-23.

Thanks,
