2012 Sodus Bay Healing Waters Salmon Slam - August 4th

[Time Out]

Nick,

Looks like this will work out. You could count me in for two. I could do three if needed but it may be crowded depending on the circumstances.

Sounds good Jeff, I'll put you down for two!

I got word today that we have our first sponsor, Okuma Fishing Tackle Corporation! They have donated a couple of items to be raffled off at the event.

A lot of people are really stepping up to make this event happen...

FishHawk is on board as well!

[TOP SECRET]

Wegmans and Dreamweaver have both stepped up with donations! A big thanks to both!

Now that this ball is rolling, let's roll out some more details...

Let's add a bit of fun competition to this cause... I'm excited to announce the Sodus Bay Healing Waters Salmon Slam Big Fish Tournament!

That's right, the only entry fee is to add our veterans to your tourney team! I'm thinking we'll limit this tournament to 15 boats for the first year, so I believe there are three spots still open... first come first serve!

There will be prizes for the biggest salmon, the biggest steelhead, and the biggest brown trout. In case of foul weather, the tournament will change into a first and second biggest bass, and biggest perch. That's the nice thing about Sodus, if the lake is too rough, there's always the bay

I ponied up today and ordered the bragging rights for the event:

Who doesn't like shiny trophies?

We still need a weigh master for the event, anyone interested?

Ok we have our first corporate sponsor, sponsoring Ruff Rider, The SI Organization http://www.thesiorg.com

If anyone in the tournament works for a company or has a relationship with a company that would like to sponsor their boat, let me know!

Ok great, we have our 15 boat field!!! Nice job guys, thanks for everyone who has volunteered! If there are additional people interested, please PM me or post here and I'll see where we are in a week or two to see if we can open it to more boats. I'm just worried about fitting more boats in at Arneys as space will be limited. If you're already docked at Arneys, it might be easier.

[TOP SECRET]

The updated volunteer list has been posted on the first page...

[Fishtails]

I'll work my schedule so that me and Justin will be there Nick.

Good News....Spoke with Big Weenie Brand today and they are proud to be on board as a Sponsor. They will be putting something very cool together for us. I know how swamped Big Weenie has been just trying to keep up with orders, so

it's really appreciated that he's going to work us in.

I'm working on a few other sponsors too, so stay tuned

Welcome aboard Big Weenie!!! (yes I mean the company, not you Rod lol)
