do you know how many people have signed up and how many goody bags will be available this year?

Dustin

 

I think 45 people have signed up and I believe there is 90 bags.

I am not the offical spokes person but I think those numbers are right.

 

Not quite 45, I think we are up to about 20 as of today. We had over 125 entrants last year and are planning for a bigger and better event this year.The first 90 paid entrants are guaranteed a Captain's Bag - a Hobie duffle bag with a tournament T-shirt, and lots of other swag. Entry fee is $40 but goes up to $50 after April 10th.

Captain's meeting is at Hooters at Pensacola Beach on Friday, April 23rd. Tournament site and weigh-in will be at Shoreline Park in Gulf Breeze. Hobie Mirage kayak to be given to the inshore slam and offshore slam winners. Drawing for a 2010 Hobie Pro Angler, plenty of sponsors, tons of prizes, door prizes and other stuff. Hooters is providing food at the weigh-in. Rules, entry form and flyer are available at www.gulfcoastkayakfishing.com

It will be a lot of fun - come on out and hang with other kayak fishermen and enjoy the day. Enter now to guarantee yourself a Captain's bag and before the fee goes up... the Captain's bag and weigh-in are worth the entry fee!

 

Thanks for the correction. I don't know were I got 45 from.

 

Has every one signed up yet?

There is only 90 captains' bags so you need to sign up early.

 

A new feature for this year is the "Best Dang Tackle Box." You submit a new lure. You get a ticket. One ticket is drawn. Winner takes whole box of lures.

 

There is only 6 days left to register for $ 40.00. On April 11 the fee goes up to $ 50.00.

The Tournament is on the 24, not many days left.

There will be a Hobie Revolution for the biggest Offshore Slam, a Hobie Outback for the biggest Inshore Slam and a raffle for a Hobie Pro Angler, plus great individual species prizes! This is our first year for an offshore slam ("biggest pair" actually)kayak prize, and a bass fisherman who borrowed a kayak won the inshore slam last year, so don't wait until the entry fee goes up after this week, and the captain's bags are gone. Go ahead and sign up for our best tournament ever now!

 

I haven't signup up yet, but I'm going to! This is my first kayak tournament so you guys have to take it easy on me. I'll be fishing out of a Hobie Outback...
