PORT FISHING CLUBRALEIGH SALTWATER

S

1I want to welcome all anglers and families to the 30 stAnnual Raleigh Saltwater Sport Fishing Club King Mackerel Tournament.

This year's KMT will offer many of the fun activities like we have in the past. We will be holding the Cast net competition on Friday night for one lucky youth and one adult. There will be rafe opportunities, and much more.

The RSWSC has long promoted family shing. In conjunction with those efforts, we will once again be hosting a Junior Angler’s Competition. Be sure to attend the awards ceremony on Saturday night to see who wins.

I'd like to ask everyone to remember, every entry made, T-shirt/rafe ticket purchased, or Sponsorship provided is important. All of these will allow the RSWSC to once again donate a portion of the proceeds from this tournament to Take-A-Kid Fishing, and the Dale Ward Marine Scholarship.

I'd like to personally thank

All our 2015 Sponsors for their generous support.

Morehead City for the use of its facilities and being a welcoming Host.

All our members who give of their time to make this a Fun Family event.

Randy Gregory and the staff @ the NC Division of Marine Fisheries. (You sampling to aid in the understanding of the species is priceless)

All our Anglers, without YOU this simply wouldn't happen!!!

On behalf of the Raleigh Saltwater Sport Fishing Club, we wish you “Fair winds and following seas”…. But most of all SMOKING REELS

Sincerely,

Tommy Peace
