Lady Angler Tournament
Our annual Lady Angler Tournament will be held on Saturday, September 12, 2009 with registration on Friday, September 11th at the Garage Mahal (511 Clarendon Ave, Carolina Beach). Registration will be from 6:00 pm until 8:00 pm. We will have a shrimparoo, live entertainment and a captains meeting after the registration. This is a club social event and all members are invited. So bring the family and join in the fun.
Just to let everyone know about the format for the tournament. Entry fee is $25.00 per angler, with prizes awarded to the largest fish in the following categories; King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Speckle Trout, Drum and Flounder. Only 1 award per angler and the entry fee qualifies you for all 5 categories. Also Ladies the "Charms" are back for the 1st place winners. Guys may run the boat, catch bait, gaff or net the Ladies fish and above all be a "Gentlemen" all day. Lady anglers should put out lines, set the hook and catch eligible fish to qualify.
Maybe this will be the year we will finally have a King Mackerel entered. No King Mackerel have been entered in the last 10 years at least. Our sales and marketing group have come up with another special "T-Shirt" for this tournament and they will be on sale during the registration on Friday. Above all this is a fun tournament and everyone have a good time!!! I look forward to seeing everyone there. For all the Guys that want to participate but don't have any "Lady Anglers" let us know because we have a few Ladies that need a boat to fish on.

A big thank you goes out to Vick & Lisa Matthis and John Batson for the great job they did at the "Shrimparoo" on friday night. Also, a big thank you goes out to all the volunteers that helped make the weekend a success. It makes me proud to be associated with such a great group of people!!
