The Tournament Boat for the club tournament this Saturday, August 28th is Grey Lion, "hey that's me", Captain Jim Nelligan. You can begin calling in to the tournament boat at 5:00 A.M. on Channel 68. Run time is 5:30 with lines in the water at 6:00 A.M. till 1:00 P.M. You must be back in Northpoint Harbor by 1:00. The weigh in will be held right next to the cleaning station along with the food.

This is the last event of the year and it will determine who wins boat of the year and rookie of the year. We've got a real good race going on for boat of the year. Remember, the winner of BOY and ROY is the total score of their best 5 out of 6 tournaments. So you get to eliminate a bad tournament or a missed one. Good luck to the guys who are still in the running.

Good food and soft drinks will be served at the weigh in, pulled pork and Italian sausage sandwiches by Johnny Lazarich. Come on out and see all the guys one last time.

Jim

Congratulations to all the winning boats yesterday! There wasn't a lot of big boxes brought in to the scales, but as always, some of these fine Captains came through.

Special congratulations go out to our Boat of the Year, Follow Me, Captains John and Kevin Massard for a memorable season. Part of their winning formula had to be eating all those steak dinners the night before the tournament that they won from me by trouncing my boat at the previous event, maybe not?

Anyways, thanks to fellow member Johnny Lazarich for the great food he made for this tournament and to every fishermen who took part all season long. It was a great year, participation was up, the weather mostly cooperated and the Good Lord supplied the great fish, well He and the DNR.

Till next season,

Jim

By the way, someone left a two wheel cart at the weigh in they must have used to bring their cooler to the area, I put it in the garage next to the cleaning station with all our other tournament stuff. See me and we'll get it out for you.

Also, one of our Captain's lost a fillet knife that was given to him by his father 25 years ago at the cleaning station Saturday, if anyone picked it up please let me know?
