Very stoked to announce that for the THIRD year in a row Wilderness Systems will be donating a brand new kayak for the AOTY/DOTY participation raffle!!!

 :smt007 :smt004 :smt007

This year the prize will be a Tarpon 120, most likely in the sexy AF Midnight color!!

HUGE thanks to RacinRob and WS for making this killer prize a reality!!!

As a reminder to AOTY/DOTY players, you get one ticket in the raffle for paying your entry fee, and then one additional ticket for each AOTY and DOTY species you have approved:

Quote
Each participant in AOTY/DOTY will automatically receive one entry into a raffle once they pay the $40 entry fee. Participants can receive up to 20 additional raffle entries for each species submitted and approved in both AOTY and DOTY. 21 entries into the raffle will be the max that any player can have. The goal of the raffle is to encourage participation and friendly competition amongst those anglers and divers that may not be able to invest the amount of time needed to finish in the top three. Raffle Prize TBD.

I have 18 tickets so far and am keeping my fingers crossed!!  :smt003 :smt005

Sincerely,

Jim

Thanks Rob and Wilderness.  If you win Jim you can store it at my house since you canÂ’t be seen on a competitors kayak.

Remember to practice safe knots, because big fish don't just break your line, they also break your heart.

I need to head south to get a MFE and copper, maby a sheep if im luckily.  You southern guys sure have a lot better variety of species to choose from.  I just cant commit to that 3 hour drive though the east bay when the vis is good up here.

Monkey and coppers up there too...

Sheep only down here, abs only up there....

All the rest of the species are both north and south of the gate...

With top 15 format no need for you to go south of gate and can still get 15 high point species.

For the participation raffle tix you could use a rod and reel and catch species for tix if wanted.
