Sounds like a good idea

If I only lived in Florida I would be on that boat in a second! Is this every year or just a one time thing?

[inFINSible]

Well..AJ..now youve done it. I am moving to the area...but not for another 6 mos or so. I am a very avid fisherman...and would kill to be in that tourney. Oh well....I would love to hear how you all do..and hopefully this becomes an annual thing...so we can do it next year. Tight lines...

[FinHeavenAJ]

Depending on how this goes, it can become an annual thing without a problem.

spydertl79 - did you want to be in the tourney as well?

So, so far I have inFinsible and Fin-atic. We need at least two more - any takers?

Dang, wrong side of the state.

But catch em up!

/caught a 120lb Mako on Sunday

Wrong side of the state? Dang man... it's not that bad of a drive getting over to the other side :cool:

[greatwade]

I guess you are right, AJ. I guess we could try. We fish all the tourneys, and have even won a couple (Rodeo, S. FL Classic). But I wouldn't know the first thing about grouper fishing in the gulf. It sounds like a brilliant idea though, and good way to get the word out about your site.
