MILLER LITE MACK ATTACK

Tide In Knots · 03-07-2008, 07:12 PM

I am proud to announce that Miller Lite has agreed to assume the title sponsor role for what was formerly referred to as the Perdido Key Mack Attack. I am looking forward to making some more announcements soon regarding other aspects of this tournament. Keep an eye out for the brochures at the local tackle stores some time in April. Hope you all will consider being a part of it this year so we can go annual and build from here on out. Stay tuned to the forum for more updates. Thanks for all the support!!

I'm sure there will be some big fast boats entered but the SKA will not be sanctioning this event. As for the free miller lite, I wouldn't bet on it. The good thing about the way this is set up is that you sign out at the captain's meeting. You can launch your boat from wherever you want and fish wherever you want but you have to bring your catch to the dock on the boat you fished in. This takes the boat race in the morning out of the equation. Even the big bertrams and such could compete in this with the fact you could be on site overnight and fish all day as long as your in line at the scales by 7pm. Also you only have one day of fishing. If you want to spend that time racing all over the gulf at 55mph then so be it but a line in the water is what it takes to catch a fish. The kayaks and pier guys are in a division that is self sufficient. They only make the payout from their divisions entry fees. Half is paid out, the other half to Covenant. It will be fun to see if the kayak guys weigh in some fish bigger than what gets hauled in by the big boats. In late may it is very possible to catch a big one close. Cobes can still be found around the big wrecks as well as AJ's. The $50 Target Weight Entry could be a good investment. 29.33lbs for any of the eligible species is a possible catch close to home. The single engine boat bonus is a first from what I've seen in recent years. This should be a fun event. I hope everyone else sees it that way too. A one day event certainly helps keep fuel costs low and we all know how valuable our time off is. I hope to see you all there. Let me know if I can answer any questions.

Specific Date? If I'm off, I might try to join or form a team.

JoeZ · 03-13-2008, 02:24 AM

It's May 24 at Lost Key Marina and Yacht Club.

For a first-year event, I think it'll be big.

Bigger than Brad had hoped when he started it that's for sure.
