90 percent of all registration fees go to the cash prizes. 10 percent goes to reclam the bay. We had just under 100 people fish this year's tournament. We also took up a collection at the fish fry from the 7 people that attended. Good folks like USMC1 came and dropped a nice chunk of change in the can because he realizes that the money goes to a great cause.
The majority of printing costs including posters, forms, giant wooden sea robin signs, paint, etc. plus time, flag prizes and all the fish and food for the fish fry are donated free by garbagefish.com.
