June 3 - 5 at Dockside in Wrightsville Beach, N.C.
The proceeds from this event will benefit the S.H.A.R.E. Foundation of southeastern North Carolina which provides assistance to special needs children and their families throughout the region. We (Reel Buzz/ Team Airtran) are working together with the S.H.A.R.E. Foundation and its volunteers to help put on this charity event. We are using our own tournament experiences from over the years to help design an event that really caters to the fishermen by providing a good time and a GREAT payout.
Full details for this event will be available in the coming weeks, but for now here are the basics:
1. This is a pick your day, captain's choice event (Saturday June 4th or Sunday June 5th)
2. Captain's meeting and weigh in will be held at Dockside in Wrightsville Beach, NC
3. Online registration will be available
4. There is no checkout
5. There will be boundaries (Cape Lookout to Little River)
6. Early entry fee $300 before May 20th; $350 after May20th
7. Pays 20 places overall, 3 places 23' and under, 5 places junior angler and 3 places lady angler
8. Payouts are based on only 100 paid entries (excluding 1st which is $10,000 based on one (1) paid entry)
9. TWT's are: Overall-$100 23' and Under-$100 High Rollers-$250 Dolphin-$100 Cobia-$100
Payouts will be as follows:
Overall
1st $10,000 guaranteed based on one paid entry
2nd $5,000
3rd $4,000
4th $3,000

These payouts are subject to change (for the better) as we are acquiring new sponsors on a regular basis. Plus if you look at the payouts as compared to the entry fees, based on 100 boats this tournament will end up paying out over 130% back to the fishermen! 100% of the monies collected during this event will be divided between the fishermen and the S.H.A.R.E. Foundation. The tournament promoters do not make one dime! If you or anybody you know would like to become a sponsor of this event, please contact the S.H.A.R.E. Foundation from their website at www.sharenc.org.
That's it in a nutshell. This will be a great way to kick off the summer tournament season and history shows that the fish will be fairly close to shore with a few larger fish still on the beach from their typical late spring run. Stay tuned for for further details and if anybody has any questions please feel free to ask them here. BTW, before anybody asks it is recommended that you have PLB or EPIRB on board your vessel but you are NOT REQUIRED to have one to fish this event.
