Virginia Beach Tuna Tournament early entry deadline June 29th

[Bob_Marlin]

We will draw one of the early entries at the captains meeting to get a free entry into the tournament! Dont miss it this year, last year we paid out $122,000 cash and had one hell of a time!!!!

if i do early entry now can i buy into calcuttas later when i see how much the crew is willing to pay?

[Bob_Marlin]

Good question - yes you can. If you just enter the base entry now, calcuttas can be paid at the captain's meeting

Bob quick ???? Reading the rules we can troll 8 rods ...now can we have a pitch bait or would that be included in the 8 rods..incase a big gaffer comes in on the teaser..? Thanks..jimmy k

[Bob_Marlin]

I would say that would be a techincal rules violation, as for the second that you were dropping back the pitch bait there would be 9 rods with hooks in the water. Why not just reel up the flat line and put it in front of him?

[Bob_Marlin]

Also would like to add -

You can enter by mail, entry forms can be picked up at many local tackle shops, and as long as it is postmarked by June 29th and in a couple of days later its ok

or

you can enter online at Virginia Beach Tuna Tournament (http://www.vbtuna.com)

regarding purse seine nets; may i use a spotter plane and how do i register the pilot for the awards party?

[Bob_Marlin]

If you want to bring your purse to the party thats fine with me.

Boat i work on is down and won't be up in time. If anyone needs an experienced mate, let me know.

[croakerpoker]

forecast is looking good so far. Bob can i enter the calcuttas for team Bighead?

[Bob_Marlin]

You know that they are afraid to, so I don't see why not!!!

[croakerpoker]

do you have an official VBTT permission slip for their wives to sign? i looked on the website but i didnt see it.

Good investment advice Croakerpoker, you pay for the calcuttas and will give you half. No questions asked. I am a little worried about the purse sein guys, they seem to always bring the heat in competition.
