2010 HRFA Surf fishing tournament

I just want to say thank you to all of the sponsors who helped out in our tournament last October 30th. There were 367 fish landed with an estimate of over a 95 percent release rate. Nearly 300 anglers participated and it could not have happened if not for the sponsors and volunteers.

Last month, my company was bought out and I was laid off. Because of this new free time I have, I am starting the search on new sponsors early (while looking for a new job) this year hoping to keep/retain all of the old sponsors for 2011.

Next fall will be our annual 10th surf fishing tournament. If you are a manufacture, tackle shop or know a manufacture or salesman of any fishing related product and want to promote your product and help a non profit organization at the same time, then please contact me. All we want is your product. Maybe a few lures, a rod or a reel or rigs or terminal tackle. Not a lot, just something you are proud of and we could give away as a prize.

Thanks again to all of the sponsor from the 2010 HRFA surf fishing tournament and Happy Holidays to all.
