Terry McCormick asked us to keep this Guys & Gals tournaments going!

Dear Guys & Gals:

Ann and I would like to thank you for fishing with us and hope to see you fishing with us in 2007. We plan to make this year a more family fun tournament. We feel with the selection of lakes and the amount of our regular fishermen who fish these two divisions will only increase the couples fishing, and create a much larger payback.

“We will no longer charge the women a membership fee for the guys and gals tournaments”
“No late fees if you call and let us know you are coming before we leave for the tournament”

The 2007 Nameoki Guys & Gals Division 18 Team Tournaments next tournament is April 29th, at Lake Ozarks PB #2 Boat Ramp. You can also use the points earned in the Guys & Gals tournaments, to qualify for the BWSTA Team Classic and for the Ford Anglers of the Year Money.  The Nameoki Guys & Gals Classic is September 22-23, 2007, site to be announced.
