2019 Mobile Big Game Fishing Club Major Tournament Season ChangesYou asked and we have answered.
Beginning in this 2019 tournament year, we have changed the basic set up of our tournaments to make it much easier to register, easier to participate as a team, and easier to earn money. While the Mobile Big Game Fishing Club is very proud of its history, including its reputation for having the top in quality and fun prizes, our anglers have requested prize money rather than actual prizes. Therefore, we will now have cash prizes for each of the top three places in each division (Blue Marlin, Catch & Release, Tuna, Dolphin, Wahoo). Our optional cash awards categories will continue as it has been in the past.
Memorial Day Tournament Changes:
Registration will be a lump sum for the boat as $2500 standard fee, $2000 for early registration and for boats whose owner or captain is a club member, and $1500 for boats 32 feet and under. This will also include MBGFC paraphernalia and food tickets for four anglers.
With an 80+ boat tournament, there will be an $80,000 payout in prize money. If fewer than 80 boats register, prize payout will be scaled accordingly. This payout does not require entering any optional cash award categories.
With 80+ boats registered, the payout will be as follows:
Weighed Blue Marlin (with a 110” minimum):
$12,500 to 1st place
$7500 to 2nd place
$5000 to 3rd place
Catch & Release Marlin (with line class bonuses and multipliers no longer being applied to our tournaments):
$12,500 to 1st place
$7500 to 2nd place
$5000 to 3rd place
EACH of the following (Tuna, Dolphin, and Wahoo):
$5000 to 1st place
$3000 to 2nd place
$ 2000 to 3rd place
With this new structure and amount of large high-quality outboard boats that are changing the landscape of outboard fishing, we are eliminating the Saturday Shoot-Out for outboards. In addition to being eligible for the prizes and the ability to enter the optional cash awards, the Top Small Boat (32 feet and under) will receive a $3000 payout in both Memorial Day and Labor Day Tournaments.
Memorial Day will again begin with a party on Thursday, Captains meeting on Friday at noon with departure immediately after, and fishing through Sunday. The Awards Ceremony and breakfast will remain on Monday.
Ladies Day Tournament Changes
Registration for the Ladies Day will be $1250 standard fee and $1000 for boats whose owner or captain is a club member. This will include MBGFC paraphernalia and food tickets for four anglers. The party and Captains meeting will be Friday with fishing through Sunday and the awards ceremony Sunday evening.
Billfish Limited Tournament Changes
Registration for the Limited Tournament will be $1250 standard fee and $1000 for boats whose owner or captain is a club member. This will include MBGFC paraphernalia and food tickets for four anglers. The party and Captains meeting will be Friday nightand fishing through Saturday with the awards ceremony and breakfast Sunday morning.
Junior Angler Tournament Changes
Junior angler tournament will continue to be the same fun focused tournament that it has been in the past, with numerous additional categories added. It remains a $40 registration fee per angler, $30 for club members. Donated funds, food, time, and prizes continue to support this tournament. Our party and captains meeting will be Friday night and fishing Saturday with the awards ceremony Saturday evening.
Labor Day Tournament Changes:
Labor Day Tournament will no longer allow live baiting. This tournament will be a lures and dead bait tournament only. Natural dead bait can be used with a verifiable lure/skirt present. Like Memorial Day, registration will be a lump sum for the boat as $2500 standard fee, $2000 for early registration and for boats whose owner or captain is a club member, and $1500 for boats 32 feet and under. This will also include MBGFC paraphernalia and food tickets for four anglers. Payout will be the same as Memorial Day and again no shootout. Labor Day will again begin with a party on Thursday, Captains meeting on Friday at noon with departure immediately after, and fishing through Sunday. The Awards Ceremony and breakfast will remain on Monday. ... See MoreSee Less
UPDATE to original post:
You have to love our fishing community! Everything is taken care of. Thank you all for the speedy response.
We are in need of 100 pre split oak or pecan logs to smoke a pig for our Warriors on the Water event May 3rd. We would need the wood dropped off at the club in Orange Beach. Is there anyone out there that would like to donate timber and drop it? If so, please send a message or respond below!
