BI Fishworks Tourney
The Block Island Inshore Fishing Tourney
Sept. 26, 27 & 28, 2003
Benefiting the National Children’s Cancer Society
Back for this annual event in it's third year ~ we are once again joining forces with Sandy Point Fly Leader Co. to sponsor and organize this true grassroots tournament. Come on out to Block Island, Rhode Island and experience the great fishing Block Island has to offer. Fly, Spin, Boat, & Surf divisions/categories all go head to head in this unique lottery format where anything can happen. This year, instead of 24 hours as in the past two events, we have opted to extended the tourney the entire weekend. Kicking off on Friday evening at 6pm and running until Sunday 12 noon ~ we hope the extension of time will allow more fishermen the ability to compete. National and local businesses have donated generous prizes for winners. $35 dollar entry fee includes a tourney T-shirt and one ticket to the post event all you can eat and drink cookout. Check back soon for complete details. All of the proceeds will once again be donated to the...

Duke,
Don't forget that there is no striped bass fishing allowed more than 3 miles from the BI shore except on the north end between BI and Pt Judith.

I am interested in this tourney. I would be willing to chip in on a house also. I freakin love that place. Maybe we could get 3-4 boats entered and everyone split the costs.

This is a great response I will get on the housing situation this weekend. I am going to have at least one guy on my boat, I may be able to cycle a few of you on to her if you so desire. More info to follow.

BI ain't Cheap
Did some home work today and we are not going to get any great deal from anyone so far. The best place so far is Champlains Marina in New Harbor. two nights for the price of one. It will costs about 80 per guy for a double room. I will probably stay there unless there is somewhere free I can put Surfrunner. Still waiting on the Realtors, they are very lazy. SO far it looks like the following guys are going.
Toonoc
Scotch Bonnet
JohnR
179
Drumcorp fan
Goose
Jhabs
Stripinline
Fishwewee.
