Agree with the support issue. If I go someplace and they support a Tourney, I am more apt to enjoy returning. If they support CCA, I may not return. If they support Obama, I'll use their restroom and they won't be happy afterwards but I'll be smiling.

As far as making "profits", there is overhead expense in any tourney, so as long as reasonable and fair, OK. Most HONEST tourneys are upfront about payouts and costs. But if lining someone's pockets and ya get a crappy trophy and it wasn't made precisely clear of the payback format, farge em and the boat they motored in. Many tourneys support great causes and that is their purpose and those are fantastic for all-good feeling for participant and helps some fine charity-like what Coe did for the Big Trout Tourney-it was a good deal for all and helped someone out.

I didn't say I had a problem with Mexican food, or Mexicans, or Pollocks. I was just wondering why someone would host a tournament that far from the water. You've answered my questions with the SWAT group. It makes sense to me now, but it's still too far from the water, imo.

Good luck to all who participate!

Don't sweat it. I didn't see your post coming from the "Mexican" angle. I feel that businesses that support fishermen need to be applauded no matter how far they are from saltwater. The restaurant and the SWAT group have a partnership that benefits both parties.

I don't get it. A fishing tournament hosted by a restaruant that is 30+ miles from Galveston.??? It's probably a minimum 15 miles from any boat launch.

They are taking 20% off of the top.??? I'm just not that desperate to line someone elses pockets with my money. What are they giving away? Someone please tell me why you would fish this tournament.???

They don't have anything to do with fishing or boats!???

The Mexican food business must be slow...

Ok,how about a Pollock restaurant?

This is what I know from visiting the restaurant during my lunch hour.......the group goes by SWAT (SaltWater Anglers of Texas). They hold their monthly meetings at this restaurant. I am guessing the members mostly live in the city (Houston/Pasadena).

You seem to be disturbed that the event is being held at a Mexican restaurant. The owner is a fisherman and has fisherman friends. It makes sense to me.

Let me ask this of the group: My family owns a Tex-Mex restaurant that is even farther away than the restaurant hosting the tourney. I have been given the "go ahead" by the family to sponsor this very website for a year. I just have not gotten around to getting process going. Since we don't have anything to do with boats or fishing, would we be wasting our money?

Makes sense to me... I would fish the tournament if I could and enjoy some fine mexican food afterwards..

Buoy, you and your family got my support whenever you need it and we would be happy to have them as a sponsor of the site.


Take care,
