Mickelson Open Is ON!!!

Hey everyone, I have been getting enough contacts saying that they want to fish this tournament that I have no choice but to make sure that it happens.  Because of the issues that we had with preparation, there are going to be some simplified procedures. 

Entry Fee:  $100 cash only on the morning of the tournament.  We will only take cash so that we can pay out cash.  NO CHECKS! NO EXCEPTIONS!

There will be no option pot, but there will be a $20 big fish pot.  It will pay to the one single big fish.

We will pay on a 1-5 scale and there will be an 80% payback. 

HERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT NEW RULE:
              YOU MUST BRING 2 TOYS PER TEAM: YOU WILL RECIEVE A 2 POUND PENALTY PER TOY MISSING!!!!  SO, 1 toy equals 2 pound penalty, 0 toys receives a 4 pound penalty!  IT WILL BE ENFORCED!

I would love to see good toys too.  That's why we are doing this.  The toys will be delivered to Mary Bridge Children's Hospital on Christmas eve.  The remaining 20% of the entry fees will be used to purchase more toys!  Since we will not be holding a raffle, we have decided that donating a small amount of money, like 200-300 dollars is going to have a lot less impact than as many toys as we can fit in the back of an extended cab truck! 

I don't want guys to expect much of a production.  We wont be having a raffle or food or anything like that.  It's gonna look like a club tournament.  In fact, I'm gonna fish it and direct. 

SIgn up will be from 5:30 am to 6:55, with drivers meeting at 7:00 am.  Blast off will be at safe light and weigh in at 3;00 pm.  Livewell inspections will be happening at time of sign-ins.  Please show up on time and be ready!

I hope to see you all there!  Thanks to everyone who has pushed for this.  It's a worth while cause.  I cant think of anything more important than bringing a smile to the face of a sick kid!
