MDFF Tourney for 2005 date is set

Our annual Muscular Dystrophy Family Foundation Tournament date has been set for 2005. It will be held on April,10.2005 @ Brookville Reservoir once again. We are currently planning on launching out of Garhill ramp, but as some of you know, it can be difficult this time of year, so our alternate ramp is Fairfield, which we used last year. We raised over $2,500.00 last year and hope to surpass that this year. Once again, we have great sponsors on board, including a guided trip on Kentucky/Barkley lake by Dave Stewart. Last year we had Minn-Kota,Dual-Pro,Lucky Craft,Buckeye Baits,Baits While You Wait,Leatherman,Good Time Charlies Lake Erie Charters,Plapps Pro Outdoors,Grandt Rods,Charlie Brewer,Poor Boys and a few others. This year we hope to have the same plus a few others.
If your interested in fishing it, we will have entrys available shortly. I have a rough draft of one already if someone wants one e-mailed to them. They can also contact the MDFF and reserve your spot by phone with a credit card or debit card. You can check out the MDFF and what they do by going to there web site located @ [url]www.mdff.org[/url]

The rules are the same as last year as well as the entry. It is $75.00 per boat with a five fish limit. You can fish alone or with a partner, price is the same. Big Bass pot of $10.00 per boat is optional. Your take off position is determined by the order of your paid entry. Once again we will be set up @ Frames Outdoors Shop on 101 from 3:00p.m. to 7:00p.m. Saturday for those who want to register then. We will also take entrys at the ramp the morning of the Tourney, but it will be an addtional $10.00 per boat. I will also have entrys @ our booth @ the Indy Boat Show as well as the local tackle stores around B-Ville. A friend of mine is also going to deliver some to Plapps and Dixie Marine and a few other places around the Cincy area.

I would also like to invite anyone to volunteer that wants to do so. Last year we had a very good group of volunteers that really made the event run very smoothly. Food and drinks will be supplied to all contestants and volunteers following the Tourney, a special thanks to Coca-Cola as they have agreed to do it again this year.


Sincerely, Ray Rigby
