Answers
to Dolphin Dash Qustions: One fisherman asked if the "$200 Round Up Entry Fee covers the Dolphin Dash".
Yes, entry is free in the Dash if you are registered for the Round Up. Question: "What if the first day of the
Dash is blown out by weather?" Answer: If seas on the First Sunday of the Dash are above 4' (per forecasts)
fishing that the Day will be cancelled and the Second Day (20th) will be the be the Dolphin Dash. Question: "Can
I skip the First Day and just fish the Second Day"? Answer: Yes. If registered for the Round Up before
the 20th. Question: "Must I check out for the Dolphin Dash and the Round Up". Checkout is required
for the Dash. No check out is required for the thirty day June Round Up. Final Day for entering
the Round Up (without penalty) is listed as May 31st. Round Up begins June 1st.

Barbara
wants to remind Team Captains that there is still time to register for Sunday's Dolphin Dash
and for the Main Round Up. If you're gonna fish this summer you need to be signed up to win.

Bimini could use a shot
in their "economic arm". Barbara and I are planning a trip over for some bone fishing with Eagle Eye Fred
Rolle first chance. Where else can you go on vacation for ONE TANK OF GAS. Do a "troll
away" to the Island... that is troll fast with high speed lures out ... then run in with your yellow flag up once
you see the Pines. Save money and help our Neighbors too.
