| Before anybody ask why March 21st-23rd is on there, it was because while looking at a calander, it says that is easter, and I know alot of people will have family and such. Lets get this thing started!!! I could use the winnings to buy me some new gear! And yes, I am trash talking! This went great last year, and everybody who went had a lot of fun! We still have good stories to tell about it! Lets do the same this year!! RULES: Fishing can begin at 4 pm Friday April 11th. Measure-In deadline is Sunday 1 pm April 13th. Measuring will be conducted at Fort Mcree. $80 "donation" (thats a nice legal term since this is a public forum) per Boat (Team) due by Thursday before the tournament. (date to be determined) If you are camping and surf fishing instead of boat, ect, "Team" is limited to 4 people per entry fee, and list there names.
One winner, winner take 75% with 25% for Team with largest shark in junior angler division, 15 years old and younger. If winning shark is from a Team that does have a junior angler, than 100% of prize to that team. "Winner" is team with the largest shark measured by the deadline at fork length. ALL legal species of shark other than Nurse shark are eligable.
UPDATE!!!!!! New Prizes!! A new 114h Senator on a 30/80 slammer and Gimbal belt for 2nd place and a Seeker American series 40/100 lb. 7' roller tip rod and a tackle bag for 3rd place, Donated by Get-N-Wade (Mitch) from Get-N-Wade Tckle in the Gulf Breeze Flea Market!!! (850) 565-0920. He can get you some great deals for what you need, and you might need to talk to him before the tournament to get your gear in order! Thanx man!
Entry fees can be paid up until the official start time Friday, April 11th 4 pm.
Cookout sunday (or saturday if friday nite goes well )afternoon, with some fried shark nuggets. Maybe saturday also if it turns out some of us can actually catch one of these things! $50 of the total "donation" fees will be used for oil, propane, breading, and condiments.
For a shark to win IT MUST BE MEASURED PUBLICLY at Fort Mcree. After that, you can keep the shark like a selfish bastard, or you can donate it to the cookout! Please follow Florida and Federal game laws as regards to bag limits ect., and keep in mind that you need a federal HMS boat permit to fish for sharks out of state waters. Cost is around $65 I think, and can be purchased online. You can bring in one shark per day.
If you do not eat shark, please make sure to keep your eligable shark in good condition and cold on the way to Mcree. There will be many people who would love to take some home if we already have enough for the cookouts. PLEASE DO NOT WASTE THESE TASTY CRITTERS! Since we are measuring length, and not weight, it would be best to gut it, and stuff bags of ice inside.
There are no angling rules other than abide by the laws. Everything else is captains choice, as regards angling methods and gear, firearms, ect. So please make sure you are aware of these laws. And yes, it IS illegal believe it or not to spearfish a shark, so I will not be attempting that.
This event is more for the purpose of having a dang good time and fryin up some shark on the beach with good friends and making more good friends than anything else. Please keep that in mind, and this will go smooth.
$80 "donation" can be mailed to:
BOSS Commercial Building Services
1333 College Parkway #110
Gulf Breeze, FL 32563
If mailing a check or money order, please make payable to "CASH". Do NOT make it payable to my business name or me!
My number is (850) 777-1221. If you would like to meet up or swing this way, I live in Gulf Breeze. After you enter, please post a post on here to that simply says "ENTERED" so we can all get exited as the prize money grows!
There are a ton of other rules that could be posted, but I think everybody knows what is ethical and proper and fair. Also mob riot will enforse any common sense rules. Such as if you bring a frozen shark you caught last month to the Measure-In, I think the mob riot will fix that stupidity. And they say you can't fix stupid!
There will be some people camping on Fort Mcree, and I will be bringing some firewood to keep a homebase fire going. I will also be taking a couple boatless anglers to McRee who will be surf fishing for the tournament.
IF YOU HAVE ROOM FOR 1 OR MORE TO TRANSPORT TO FORT MCREE TO SURF FISH AND CAMP SO THEY CAN BE PART OF THIS TOO, PLEASE SAY SO!!! Boatless anglers, speak up if yer goin out to MCree!
Before the tournament, an official VHF channel will be announced.
If called for weather, it will be rescheduled for the following weekend.
I look foward to this, and meeting more of you!
And again, it was wishiniwasfishin last fall who kickstarted this thing!! Thanx man!

I think april 4th though the 6th will be better just because it will be a little bit warmer and there will be more baitfish running around then. just a thought for everyone to think about. yea I agree clay about it being so cheap you never know if you hook into a real man eater who is to say you don't get dragged out into fed. waters depending on where you are fishing at. plus due to operational commitments the guys I have that want to go cannot make any of the other dates. hopefully it will work out so we can all make it though otherwise I will be hunting fo a few guys to go.

PLUS April 4th through the 6th there will be more prep time for everyone. hell I am all for camping but I would much rather be warm when doing it instead of freezing my a$$ off. anyhow majority rules so in the end we will see what happens. when is the poll cut off date and time?

| bladeco, lets let it run about 5 more days, and see were we are at. overnunder, I have a yearly fishing licence for AL jsut so I dont have to go thru the trouble of getiing one all the time. SO depends onhow much you might fish in Florida waters. If 3 or more times a year, it is probably cheaper for a yearly. And Fort Mcree is the west side of the pensacola pass, with 2 jetties, and a nice cove on the north side that is calm and protected, and the depth drops of REAL fast, so even the biggest boat can pull right up tho the beach, and its deep enough to dive off the back of your boat. Theres a cool old underground fort there on the island too. Last year we had a whole circle of tents during the tournament, and more down the beach, and kept a fire goin, and one or 2 beers may have been consumed! Hope you can make it!

Clay, thats was a shark tourney last year? Damn I thought it was a drinking tourney. Anyway, I'm in for this year I had way too much fun pulling Sniper and April around the pass and gulf. I really think he was just saying he was broke down to save on gas.

There's about 9 people on this thread alone that say they are in.....I'm sure there are a few more that will be there, so just guess around 10 boats. That's 80 a boat, so 800 dollars roughly, minus 50 bucks for the cooking expense at base camp. We all meet up and fry up some shark on the beach
