I am proud to announce that Miller Lite has agreed to assume the title sponsor role for what was formerly referred to as the Perdido Key Mack Attack. I am looking forward to making some more announcements soon regarding other aspects of this tournament. Keep an eye out for the brochures at the local tackle stores some time in April. Hope you all will consider being a part of it this year so we can go annual and build from here on out. Stay tuned to the forum for more updates. Thanks for all the support!!

I'm sure there will be some big fast boats entered but the SKA will not be sanctioning this event. As for the free miller lite, I wouldn't bet on it. The good thing about the way this is set up is that you sign out at the captain's meeting. You can launch your boat from wherever you want and fish wherever you want but you have to bring your catch to the dock on the boat you fished in. This takes the boat race in the morning out of the equation. Even the big bertrams and such could compete in this with the fact you could be on site overnight and fish all day as long as your in line at the scales by 7pm. Also you only have one day of fishing. If you want to spend that time racing all over the gulf at 55mph then so be it but a line in the water is what it takes to catch a fish. The kayaks and pier guys are in a division that is self sufficient. They only make the payout from their divisions entry fees. Half is paid out, the other half to Covenant. It will be fun to see if the kayak guys weigh in some fish bigger than what gets hauled in by the big boats. In late may it is very possible to catch a big one close. Cobes can still be found around the big wrecks as well as AJ's. The $50 Target Weight Entry could be a good investment. 29.33lbs for any of the eligible species is a possible catch close to home. The single engine boat bonus is a first from what I've seen in recent years. This should be a fun event. I hope everyone else sees it that way too. A one day event certainly helps keep fuel costs low and we all know how valuable our time off is. I hope to see you all there. Let me know if I can answer any questions.

| It's May 24 at Lost Key Marina and Yacht Club. For a first-year event, I think it'll be big. Bigger than Brad had hoped when he started it that's for sure.

Beau Rivage Resort and Casino in Biloxi has contributed TWO prize packages consisting of a two night stay at the hotel, two production show tickets and dinner for two at Memphis Q restaurant in the resort. These prizes may be used to fill in for cash payouts if the minimum number of boats aren't met or will be used as door prizes at the captain's meeting.

| That's badass. You should give it to the dock crew member who hauls the most fish up and down all day. Or the guy that brings you the most beer over the course of the event. Either way, it'd be mine.

| MizterGentz, There is more information on the thread Perdido Key Mack Attack in this same section. To answer you question though, entry fee for boats is $300 and pier or kayak anglers is $30.

$300 is a bargain for a quality tournament like this. I love the format and hope that it is a success the first year. Brad, I will be fishing if at all possible. Thanks for all of the hard work to put this together!

| Sounds like this tournament is coming together nicely! Great job and I am looking forward to entering this one! I also want to thank you for opening this up so that we kayak fishermen can participate, too. I think there will be a good turnout for that division and I hope other tournaments will see the need to maybe change the formats slightly to make room for the fastest growing saltwater category.

| Brad, Looks like things are coming together for you. Let me know if you need any help with anything. I don't start my new job until May 1 and my wife has plenty of free time as well being that she is not working now. I know you don't want to have a check out and I understand that, but what about the idea of at least having a lines in time and a stipulation that you must leave from Pensacola, Destin, or Perdido Pass because you know that some genius is going to sign out at the captain's meeting jump in his truck trailer his boat to Biloxi and run to the West Delta and have somebody bring his trailer back for him and then you have a Gulf of Mexico tournament just like ADSFR instead of a local tournament. I know the comments are going to start coming, but I just thought I would throw that out there. I have a couple of ideas for potential sponsors with contact info if it is not too late. Just let me know.

| David, I appreciate your comments and ideas and understand that it is certainly possible with these rules for someone to accomplish that task. However, this is a one day tournament and if someone would like to go to all that trouble to win up to $5k so be it. I think that is what makes this event more intriguing. There are no guarantees that the West Delta will be "on" in that short period of time. You know how it is. It is entirely too late to make any rules changes as pamphlets are being distributed and printed daily not to mention I am previewing the brochure tomorrow. I would be interested in the sponsor referrals. I still have tee shirts to print so there is an opportunity for sponsors to get in on that action. Thanks for looking out. Brad

| Sounds good Shane!! Anyone else wishing to have a pamphlet mailed to your home address please send me an email to bradsauers@bellsouth.net with your mailing info. There will be a random drawing for all boat teams entered by May 19th. It will be of a value greater than your entry fee.
