PFTS#2 – Results
We had a great day with 62 anglers competing in The Mystery Lure sponsored by Riptide
PFTS #2 – The Mystery Lure sponsored by Riptide
Riptide has graciously stepped up to be the sponsor for “The Mystery Lure”. While contestants will not know specifically which lures they will get on the morning of the event, they do know they will be getting a fish catching assortment from a well known Florida-based manufacturer.
Here’s how The Mystery Lure works. You show up at the sign on the morning of the event with as many fishing rods as you’d like. You should bring no lures, weights, corks, etc. with you. Just rod, reel, line and leader. After you sign in, we will hand you the lures you will use for the day. Everyone gets the same lures.
The sign in post has been posted today. Due to the nature of this event, we have to limit the number of contestants to 65. It is first come, first served.
