    we got the green light for a large tournament!! up to 120 boats..usually get 65-90 boats
    we strongly encourage you to register early (save 10 bucks!!)

    a fun, fundraising tournament..with VERY nice payouts to the winners and 2nd thru 7th place also..we never promise numbers..just depends on how many..1st place has been as high as 1,000.00 and down to 600.00 I believe..our cost on food this year should be lower..after tournament raffle and dinner will be at Elk’s club in Red Wing, launch will be at Bay Point in RW..
    tournament always has great raffle prizes..GREAT food, great people..your entry fee gets you dinner too!!
    e-mail for details or read attatchment..

    Hey this is a good one guys. The most fun I have in a tournament all year. And the proceeds go to charity. Give it a shot.

    It looks like June 3rd. When I click on the attachment a office 2003 program box shows up in front of it so I can’t see much info. If someone can cut and paste it to an e-mail and e-mail it to me I can post the flyer or send it to me at 2140 42nd St NW Rochester, Mn 55901 I can post the info too. I have heard a ton of good things about this fun tournament. Perfect for taking the wife or girlfriend as your partner as they feed you VERY well afterwards plus tons of great prizes etc. Its a fun date with the little woman that will earn you brownie points. I am VERY happy to see this tourney and the Port O Call tourney on different weekends this year. Finally they got it set up so different weekends. Each tourney is alot of fun, they feed you afterwards, and this year guys won’t be complaining about them being on the same weekend so they both should have great turnouts and you get two FUN tourneys two weekends in a row. These are both informal type fun tourneys and anyone and everyone is welcome to fish them. Also if you don’t want to bring the little gal then bring a son or daughter or grab a fishin buddy.
    Thanks, Bill

    Thank You very much guys for the kind words and support!!
    and for getting the information posted..anyone that has ever put on a tournament..knows how hard it can be..it makes it all worth it when you hear how much people enjoy it!!
    One of the best parts of this tourn is our huge raffle, we always get a lot of great prizes..but it is the hardest thing we do..if anyone knows of an angle..a way to help get something donated..please let me know..We also are willing to buy things at cost as we have with guns in the past..as they typically will generate enough in raffle purchases to make it pay off..Again THANK YOU!!
    I am attatching a registration form..please let me know if it works..I’ll also e-mail it to you if needed..Cranky

    At the bankquet there was a person taking pictures of the winners. If it is possible can we get a copy of the second place picture.
    Thanks,
