Captain’s Meeting;Lake Laurie Campground. 6pm in the rack building. Once you enter the camp drive approx 50’ past the guard gatehouse to the parking lot on the left. Please park here. There is a roadway that will be marked with neon green signs at the far end of the parking lot. These signs will direct you to the meeting and award dinner on Saturday. Please,
DO NOT PARK at the building itself. We have too many deliveries to juggle cars.

Your PICTURES MUST BE TURNED IN BY 5PM AT THE RACK BUILDING TO BE SCORED BY JUDGES. Your pictures need to be clear. You may except help from other participants. Please use the The Kayak Fishing Store business card as an indicator in your pictures. If something should happen to that card, you must use something from your Capt Bag as an indicator.
The Prizes3]]I want it to be perfectly clear, if you do not register for the Calcutta’s by the end of the Captains Meeting, you will not be able to enter any fish. The Jamboree does not have a tournament. The Calcutta determines the prize monies.[/color][/b]
You can enter the Calcutta in two ways;
You can simply email me letting me know which category you would like to enter into. Your word is good enough here. We will collect the fees from you later. Each Calcutta is $5.00 and is 100% payback. (Whatever is in the box is yours)
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]You can also register for the Calcutta at the Capt Meeting and pay the fee. Please bring $5 bill for each.
Calcutta Categories are;Redfish, Bluefish, Tautog, Weakfish and Striped Bass. You may enter one or all categories.
