Thanks for the invitation John, we must have been talking fish stories in the booth!
I created Capture the Flag last season and the guys and sponsors loved the month-long format. It runs from May 26th (Memorial weekend) to June 26 with the banquet on June 29th. My goal with Capture the Flag is to create an "everyman's" tounament where the weekend angler can get out and compete for cash and awards for catching the largest barracuda, bonito, calico, halibut, white sea bass and/or yellowtail. So there are six first place awards of $1000 for each species plus some incredible prizes. Last year we gave a $2300 Interphase TwinScope forward scanning sonar as a door prize!
Tournament boundaries include the coastal waters from Pt. Conception to Rio Sto. Thomas, MX. It is an individual entry, so your fish qualify whether you caught them on a kayak, a beach, a pier, a party boat or your own boat. For you kayak guys, this is an ideal tournament format, in fact we gave away a fisherman's kayak as another door prize last year.
The entry fee is $295 which includes a set of our Capture Flags (retail value of $84.75 for the 6 flag set), a tournament t-shirt and a banquet ticket. You weigh your at any landing with a certified scale and e-mail or fax them to me. If you Capture the Flag by upping the weight on the leaderboard you earn another door prize raffle ticket. The last angler holding the flag wins for each species.
Last year we also donated $1000 of the proceeds to United Anglers in the name of the angler who captured the heaviest set of the six species. We plan to do this again this year. We hope the AC guys come out and fish this tournament. It is a fun format, everybody won door prizes and I have added a number of good fisherman to my network of fishing buddies who share the good dope on the bites around Catalina Island (worth the price of admission!).
