This is a $450 value. We will be doing the drawing at the captains meeting after the rules have been covered and before the sign out opens.

Hey Brad, sorry if this question has already been asked but if you don't get the targeted number of boats (Which I really hope you do), which will you cut on a percentage basis, the number of places paid or the dollar amounts?

| Hey Jake I just had a great idea whether Brad gets the number of boats or not, how about Day Break throwing in a bounty for the boats that are Day Break Storage customers like Bow Down, Fully Involved (I doubt he kingfishes anymore though), of course you don't have to worry about me since I simply donate my entry fees to these things anyway, and I'm sure there are others. Like maybe 1 month's free rent for the top boat from Day Break or for the overall winner if they are not a Day Break customer then some free gas???

You know Jake that is an excellent question. All along I have been saying to myself that I will reduce the payouts across the board by the percentage shy on entry. The reason being is that I like the structure of the event and don't want to have to tell someone who came in 8th that they aren't getting at least something back. However, I am willing to hear arguments and reasoning behind shortening the payout depth. Which do you prefer and why? Of course this doesnt mean that I will change my mind about how I feel now.

Tide In Knots (5/4/2008)
You know Jake that is an excellent question. All along I have been saying to myself that I will reduce the payouts across the board by the percentage shy on entry. The reason being is that I like the structure of the event and don't want to have to tell someone who came in 8th that they aren't getting at least something back. However, I am willing to hear arguments and reasoning behind shortening the payout depth. Which do you prefer and why? Of course this doesnt mean that I will change my mind about how I feel now.Hey Brad. Here are my thoughts on this for what it is worth and again coming from a guy that does not have a lot of experience in running a tournament, but does have quited a bit as a participant and cashing a few checks. This is always one of the biggest debates on any local tournament or tournament circuit. Especially being a new tournament a big first place prize is going to get you increased participation, but paying out a larger number of boats is going to get you more happy participants and a much better chance of them coming back for next year. Being that this is going to be a fairly local tournament and not a whole lot of people coming in from out of town and not any Professional Teams they won't be upset if their 1st place prize is not what is advertised and they don't take home a bunch of money being that most these teams are not looking to make a living at it. Who's going to complain if they win and only make $3000 on a $300 entry fee. That's still a pretty good return on investment. Plus this tournament is to benefit a pretty good cause so I hope people remember that. With that being said as much work you have been putting into it, I am sure you will hit your target number of boats.

David, I'll talk to the bossman about something for the top Day Break boat but I wouldn't hold your breath. Brad, I think either way will work, it just probably needs to be addressed at the captains meeting so there are no surprises for people when they get their checks. It sounds like you have already figured it out, and that's probably the same thing I would do. I hope that you get your target number of boats but you always have to prepare for the worst. I have been promoting it as much as possible to many of our boats here and hopefully you will have a great turnout. I know that you have worked your tail off and you have already accomplished a ton especially for this being the first year of this event. With fuel prices the way they are, the one day format will be a very popular idea.

I can't wait, this will be my first tournament. And it is for a good cause. It will be a late b-day present for myself, the last b-day present for myself was my first boat. I always get myself a b-day present every year. Cuz nobody else does.  . Just kidding they do I just use my b-day as an excuse to spend money. Good luck to everyone.

One week left to get eligible for the early entry reef drawing. Get those entries in by May 19th for a shot at your own private artificial reef.

Good to hear Brad. I would like to urge all of you anglers out there that have always wanted to fish a tournament to enter this one. Or for all of you seasoned vets, this will be a great way to dial in your skills before the rest of the tourneys start. I have heard alot of griping over he years about not enough local events. Lets all pitch in to keep this one around. It's going to be a great event.

And don't fortget it's basically a free entry fee since it is tax deductible being the check is made out to Covenant Hospice so be sure and save your receipts and cashed checks to give to the tax man.

Shane makes a very good point....if you want quality local tournaments to exist and succeed, regardless of what the targeted species are and whether or not it's sponsored by "your brand of beer", you have to participate to give it a pulse. Tommy's Outcast Inshore Slam coming up this weekend, The Miller Lite Mack Attack May 24 and The Queen of Kings on May 31 won't be around next year if we don't have some participants to make them a success. Please support the events where your equipment and skill level will allow and go out and have a good time. On any given day, it could be your day to win.

| Brad, My entry form and check should be in your mailbox when you get home. If it is not, let me know because I hand delivered it. Too cheap to spend the money on a stamp. Looking forward to it. What about that 7:00pm scales close. Kind of late isn't it especially for us weekend warrior types? David

| Come on now Brad who said anything about complaining? I am just worried about my fellow anglers having to navigate their way back home in the dark after a 12 hour day of adult beverages and kingfishing. And trust me brother if we should so happen to have a 50lb king jump in our boat (because that is the only it will happen) we will see you at 2:30pm. David

| Oh hell! With those guys in now I may have to go to the pier division. Damn. I'm glad I still have my pier rod unpacked. So what do you have now 9 or 10 pre-registered now with 4 more days to go for early entry. Hell that's more than most SKA events. Nice job.

Not many ladies showing up on the entry forms so far. There is a $1000 gift certificate up for grabs on the heaviest fish caught by a lady angler and the runner up will receive free entry to the Queen of Kings event May31.

| Tomorrow (Mon May 19th) is the last day to enter early to be eligible for the private artificial reef drawing. I will be at the PNJ Hook Line and Sinker Seminar at Flounder's on Pensacola Beach at 6:30pm accepting last minute early entries. You will still be able to register for the tournament via mail through Friday May 23 or up until 9pm at the captain's meeting at Hub Stacey's at the Point.
