Can appreciate that, we thought a lot about the fee, but we want to put on a first class tournament and raise funds for Heroes On The Water. I know many people are prostaff for different companies but this is an all around good thing for NorCal and kayak fishing in our area.
Today we added Phil's Propeller shop as a sponsor, he supplies bass fishermen for Lake Shasta and they have great knowledge of the fishing, the more participants the more they are willing to offer in prizes and the more we raise for HOW.
