Astrobass,

Thanks for asking about the tournament.

I can assure you that the Tackle Stores and the Shimano Corp consider the safety of the anglers the most important part of the tournament.

We will release the boats one at a time until all boats are on the water. We will stagger the time the boats return to the dock for weigh-in.

This will be the 3rd time we have held this event and we have seen it grow from 74 boats the first year to 86 boats last year. Not sure yet how many boats we will have this year but we are expecting a good turn-out.

Hopefully this answers your questions. Can I count on you and your partner fishing with us?

Best Regards!
