CHARTERS ARE AVAILABLE!

Several Big Rock Landing charters are still available for the week of BIG ROCK!!! I just saw that Dancin' Outlaw is not booked...he posted information on the website at http://www.thebigrock.com, under "Message Board". Dancin' Outlaw won The Big Rock in 1999 and placed third in the 2005 tournament. All of the charters are local captains that KNOW how to fish and will take you on an expericence you will never forget! Sensation, Diamond Girl, Offshore III are waiting for your calls!

We are getting calls about dockage, hotels, etc., every day so I know we are going to have a great tournament!

STREAMING VIDEO!

Big Rock will once again offer the "armchair angler" streaming video broadcasting, live each day from the Big Rock weigh station. The streaming camera will come on at anytime during the day if a blue marlin is weighed and be on contiuously from 4-7 pm during each fishing day.

Liquid Video Productions will be hosting this exciting feature once again with crowd shots, interviews of anglers, fish weights etc. so anyone can feel part of the crowd.

-Charters- There are several charters still available for the tournament. Sensation, Diamond Girl, Bill Collector for sure. See the contact information on this site under "Charters".

It doesn't look like this right now but soon the view from the office will be full of boats waiting to weigh-in their fish!

Calls are pouring in with anglers asking questions about fishing in this year's event and we are standing by to answer them!

-Sponsorship is looking pretty good too! We just got word that Wachovia will be back with us this year as a Platinum Level sponsor. Wachovia has supported the tournament for years but also offers their generous support to many other local non-profits. This commitment to charity is just one of the reasons the Wachovia institution is a solid bank you can depend on in this community.

The Big Rock has worked long and hard for many years to create a tournament no one will want to miss being a part of ...that includes sponsors and participants! While other tournaments suffered losses last year, we did not. We certainly expect that to be the case this year as well.

More sponsors sign up for the 51st Annual Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament!

Two new Platinum sponsors signed up this week to support Big Rock's charitable giving. Overton's/Consumer Marine will come in as a new sponsor for 2009 and MTU will return at their Platinum level. Big Rock is proud of their support! Thank you , thank you!

-The program deadline will be March 15th so if anyone would like to sponsor the tournament this year, please contact the office at 252-247-3575.
