I just did a sweep of the weigh stations who are participating, picking up weigh forms for the leader board - http://www.garbagefish.com/leaderboard2010.htm and the dogfish and sea robin categories aren't filled yet. We have some incredible prizes donated from our generous sponsors/tackle shops, in addition to the cash prizes. At the moment, any sea robin will win you a prize as we've only had 5 total birds weighed in and 7 total prizes. And, any dogfish will also get you on the board as only 4 have been weighed in. Cash prizes for first three heaviest, but we have a ton of additional prizes thanks to our participating shops, including a shimano rod/reel combo from Roger at Fish Bonz Bait and Tackle, A free day boat rental courtesy of Dock Outfitters, Bed and Breakfast stay at Rivers Edge Bed & Breakfast and Marina, tons of tackle and lots of other reels and combos and gift certificates. $20.00 gets you in and you have an amazing shot to win something plus help reclamthebay.org in the process. Tournament runs through July 31st and you can register up to the last day. Help us help our fisheries.

You definately should have weighed it. At this point a half pound, fifth place sea robin is walking away with a brand new 9 foot rod and reel surf combo. Still waiting to fill 6th and 7th place in that category with nice prizes for those slots too. I think because the sponsors/weigh stations, who realize this tournament benefits our waters and fisheries, have been especially cool and generous to help out the cause. Two weeks left. Get fishing.

Just had a 13 pound smooth doggy - at 47 inches - weighed in at Grumpy's. Caught on bunker chunk off the surf. That one grabs 2nd place. The fish are there.
