| No spear this year. We talked about it and decided to go with a lobster bounty. Heaviest bug wins. There'll be a $500 prize package on that one. Dive gear and a trip for two to the O with Holy Spear It.

| I am not clear on something. In the offshore slam, you HAVE to have a fish of each species to qualify? My boat is broke right now so it may be a moot point, but I haven't caught a trigger fish in years. If I have to have one I will save my $200 slam entry. Kings, jacks, snapper, and grouper I might be able to find but not triggers. In this thread it sounds like you HAVE to weigh one of each species for the slam. The rules / entry don't mention this. Also doesn't federal snapper close on Aug 5th? Isn't that a problem?

You DO NOT need all five to win but if one guy catches five and one guy catches four, the guy with five wins.
If we didn't do this, then someone with a stud king and a AJ could come in and beat everyone who got decent sizes of all five.
If no one catches all five, then the heaviest four wins -- regardless of species that were or were not caught.
And yes, federal waters will be closed and it WILL cause us problems.
We're all ready talking to a polygraph examiner because we know someone will call BS on a 20-pound snapper caught in state waters.
I'm not saying it can't be done, I know where a few live, but if there's a dozen 20+ snappers brought in, we'll be testing A LOT OF PEOPLE.

Good luck to everybody.Sorry about that. We got an offer we couldn't refuse and moved it. Tommy Holmes of Outcast Fishing & Hunting invited us to be part of the Mega Shark. Who could say no to Tommy?

Joe we had planned to fish the Outcast Shark and the RFRA, but sorry to say we will have to pull out of both. If you need any help around the docks please let me know, I would be more than willing to help in what ever way I can!

| JoeZ, We are planning on fishing both tournaments all depending on if our boat gets put back together in time. The starboard engine has been out again with some more transmission problems but I it should be just about fixed. Sounds like you guys are busting your tails on putting together a great event. I hope we are able to be a part of it.

| I was thinking of fishing this, but my boat is broke right now. How much grief do you think I would hear if I fish it from a 48ft commercial snapper boat?

| Just tell them your WOT is 11 knots and everything will be fine. I always thought it was pretty neat when you and your dad would do well in the king tournament. [stay away from the hpdi's], Pat.

| 11knts would be a dream. 8knts on a good day but only 7 or so now the bottom needs cleaned. Not going anywhere in a hurry. We did manage to place 3 years I think in the bud lite with a cruise speed of 8 knots. We would run 7 hours and fish 5 and never get 30 miles from the pass. The only reason anyone would care is for snapper. Someone who didn't know the laws would probably think we could go snapper fish where ever we pleased but we will have to stop and get a tail pincher in state waters if we fish.

A boat is a boat in my opinion.
If you can win it in a dinghy, do it.

| DreamWeaver, I have enjoyed watching you and your dad kick the tails of bigger, faster boats in tournaments over the years in your cape horn. You guys fish hard and have earned every bit of money you have won. You guys have a great reputation and I don't see why anyone would have any problem with whatever boat you decide to fish on, especially one that only cruises at 7 kts. Good luck if you do fish and I hope our boat is ready so I can see you guys out there.

| Still looking for a way to fish in this tournament...I can help catch for the boat in the Offshore Slam boat division splitting the $200 per boat fee or I can stick with it as an individual with the $50 per angler fee. Either way, I will help pay for gas and bait. Captain's meeting is this evening, so please PM me or call me at 916-6821 if you would like to help a fellow fisherman out. Thanks!!!

| I would like to fish the inshore slam. Seems no one in the homestead wants to fish it with me and get up early. Anyone with more skills than me, the occasional inshore fishermen, is welcome to ride and help out with the gas. I've hit 2/3rds of a slam on accident but never the flounder 1/3rd and would like to try this out and force me to fish hard and maybe pick up something from another fisherman on board. I will be fishing from a Cape 19 with no trolling motor, so that is the limit of skinny water we can get into. I leave from Gulf Breeze in Poly isles (if the dang dredge is out of the way  ). Any takers? Scott 850-677-1186
