This is reverting back to the way it was structured in the early 1960s. We appreciate your input into making this a successful tournament. Contact Wayne or any of the Board of Directors. Stay tuned for additional information as it become available.

• Rich Hamilton presented a new "Pop-Up Challenge".

This will enable the Marlin Club to assist scientists with their tagging efforts. Phase I will be to have a group of boats go out and tag marlin. Three tags will be placed in fish. Phase II will enable members and public to wager where the furthermost tag will pop up. We will have a flyer out with more details later this month.
