4th Annual South Shore Tuna Tournament

Hello Boston Big Game Fishing Club Members and Friends!

 The Soth Shore Tuna Tounrament  is a little over a week away (Aug. 20-22), so let’s keep our fingers crossed for good weather. 

If you plan to sign up at the Barker Tavern on Friday Aug 20^th, be sure to arrive around 5:00 PM so you can get through Registration quickly.  Here’s a link with directions to the Barker Tavern: http://barkertavern.com/directions.html 

 I will award $10,000.00 to the winner of the SSTT Commercial Division and $5,000.00 to the winner of the SSTT Recreational Division assuming we have a combined total of 40 boats between the two Divisions.  This shouldn’t be a problem but please mention the SSTT to your fishing buddies to ensure that we achieve the minimum 40 boat count.

 The SSTT tournament rules are now posted online at www.bbgfc.com

I plan to include optional Added Entry Divisions for both the Recreation and Commercial Divisions of the SSTT.   The Recreational Added Entry Divisions will be set at $250, $500 and $1,000 and the Commercial Added Entry Divisions will be set at $500, $1,000 and $2,000.  Entering the Added Entry Divisions can result in large monetary winnings but is completely optional.

 The Commercial BFT buyer NAT, plans to be on site in Green Harbor and Scituate during our event and I plan to use their trucks and scales for the Commercial weigh-ins.

The Barker Tavern will serve passed appetizers during Friday’s Reception Party (Aug. 20th) beginning at approximately 6:45 PM.  This will include Scallops wrapped in Bacon, Stuffed Mushroom Caps, Spinach Pie, Beef Satay, Maryland Crab Cakes, Chicken Satay in Peanut Sauce and Palmiers.  There will also be a Fruit & Cheese display.

On Sunday (Aug. 22^nd) beginning at 6:00 PM, the Barker Tavern will serve a Fruit & Cheese Display, Garden Salad with House Dressing, Cheese Tortellini, a Beef Main Entrée, a Chicken Main Entrée, Cookies & Brownies, followed by Coffee and Tea.  Our Awards will begin after dinner.
