The Classic is just two weeks and one day away. To be prepared I want to have a pretty good roster going into check-in on the 11th. Sign ups are already equal to last year. With late entries, it should be a pretty big event. The more people, the better. The charity gets a percentage of every entry. The payouts are still good and better with the more people who enter.. My work with sponsors: Makes it a bigger win for everyone.
Let me know your Division (Ladies, Junior, Open, No Motor, Fly) Yes/No for bonus species (flounder $5) and Yes/No on the Overall Pool ($10). Ladies: You need to be female. Junior, 15 and under. Fly is all flies, that are supplied. No Motor and Open, the final two divisions. Adult males in power boats have to be in the Open division. Kayak anglers can choose the No Motor or the Open division.

It is all lure, all amateur. You are not competing against guides. It is your tournament. Do with it what you wish. Join, be a winner.

Sponsor donations are excellent as they have been in years past and we have some new sponsors so this is a well-supported event. We expect it to be a great event, again. Still finalizing a thing or two but most of the donations are already in. It is a well-supplied event.
The Fly division is capped at 12 entries.

Attendance at kayak fishing skool, excellent: People picking up tips for tournament day. How many of those people will be winners?

A change for 2018: Boundaries are Hillsborough, Pinellas and Manatee County, so basically all of Tampa Bay.
The Fly Division should “fill.” Capped at 12 entries, before it was always 15. Reduced because I basically ran out of time. I tied six flies for last year’s event. With what I had and the whole deal: Capping it at 12 I could relax. In 2009: Consideration that the fly division is “use your own flies.” That the case, I’m alleviated altogether. Anyway, that is just how it worked out. More time in a day, it may have been different.
