First Annual Chix N Stix Ladyfish tournament at Ft. Myers set for Dec. 4 - 5
The First Annual Chix N Stix Ladyfish tournament will be held at Fish-Tale Marina on Fort Myers Beach on December 4-5, 2009. This is the first ladies tournament of its kind and is guaranteed to be something you won’t forget.
The tournament will kick-off with the Anglers Meeting on Friday night December 4th. Dinner will be served and a Margarita, Mojito and Sangria Bar will offer some cold, refreshing holiday cocktails provided by Bahama Breeze.
Anglers will receive their custom, tournament tote bags filled with items geared toward the lady angler...naturally.
Saturday we’ll see who can catch the heaviest bucket of Ladyfish. Everyone says, “this will be easy;” but on tournament day things may not be what they seem. According to teams that are already pre-fishing "this will be harder then we thought". Teams are allowed to weigh 10 Ladyfish at a minimum of 12 inches as well as a variety of fun fish for their respective divisions.
Teams will carry their designated Chix-N-Stix sponsored by bucket up to the weigh-station to be weighed and photographed.
Cold refreshing drinks (Mai Tai's and Bahama Mama's) will be served by Bahama Breeze upon arrival back to the Weigh Station at 3:00pm. Teams will weigh their catch, relax with mini massages, cocktails and browse a few vendors booths.
After the fish are weighed, anglers will have time to head back to the host hotel (Holiday Inn Fort Myers Beach special room rates of $79) to freshen up, following a break between the Weigh Station and Awards Dinner.
The festivities get started at 7:00pm back at Fish- Tale Marina. The Awards Night will consist of dinner w sushi and martini bars featuring the Bikini Apple-Tini (how fitting), Pineapple-Coconut Martini and the Classic Martini all served to us by Bahama Breeze. And of course... the presentation of the awards and prize money - $5,000 in cash and prizes will be handed out!
Custom Chix-N-Stix jewerly is being created for first place by www.anisajewelry.com and custom rods CNS (mossy oak pink camo) are also being provided for 1st place and a few other specialty prizes from USA Custom Rods. Lot's of other things are in the works so stayed tuned for further info!
Entries must be received by November 18th to guarantee official Chix-N-Stix lady angler tote bags filled with tournament gear.

Big Day For A Cleaner Tampa Bay - Tuesday, December 1st
Pinellas County Commission to consider reducing nutrient pollution that makes most waterways in Tampa Bay SICK!
Date: Tuesday, December 1, 2009
Time: 9:30am - 12:30pm
Location: Pinellas County Board of County Commission Chambers - 5th Floor
Street: 315 Court Street
City/Town: Clearwater, FL
Fertilizer runoff in rainy summer months feeds disastrous Red Tide blooms & keeps most Bay area waterways sick with all kinds of harmful algae. The fertilizer & landscape industry will be there in force to protect their right to pollute at taxpayer expense. A big turnout from people who want cleaner waters is CRITICAL to support sensible management of nitrogen runoff from residential fertilizer with public education & personal responsibility, NOT HIGHER TAXES for expensive & ineffective infrastructure to try to clean up after us all.
The Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) will hear, and POSSIBLY pass, the county’s fertilizer management ordinance.
Help make this happen by being there; make public comment or silent witness – we’ll all wear bright neon stickers that read: “STOP RED TIDE with a Strong Fertilizer Ordinance”
