  • Fish For A Cure!
  • Host the best inshore fishing tournament in the state

    • These two goals have been in our hearts and minds since we began this tournament, and have been ever-present in each decision we make.

     

    The angler response and support through participating teams has been positive to say the least. We do listen to feedback from anglers, and have had numerous ideas presented to us along the way. We have thus far and will continue to have open lines of communication with all of the anglers. Our cell phone numbers are on the website, and when you call us – we call back – period. That being said, give us a call, we’d love to talk about our tournament and hear your feedback. Just refer back to the top of this letter and you can again see our priorities.

    Changes for 2012 are listed below. They are simple and align with our goals.

    1. Entire tournament winnings, biggest trout, and Calcutta are split into “Open” and “Artificial” divisions, and pay accordingly.
    2. $75 is new entry fee per angler (up from $50)
    3. Tournament winners are guaranteed certain winnings and each division pays out to five places.
    4. Calcutta pays out 100% (up from 80%) to the top three places in each division.

    With the new changes in effect for 2012, we will be able to donate more money to charity and the anglers will have the opportunity to win more money. It’s a WIN/WIN for everyone involved.

    We look forward to bringing you the best inshore fishing tournament experience in the state, and most importantly, fighting the fight for medical research and leaving this world better than we found it.

    Fish On, Dirk,
    Shane & Travis

Ectodermal Dysplasias is a genetic disorder that effects the nails, hair, sweat glands, and teeth.

    Randi's son Weston was diagnosed with this disorder as a baby which motivated her to raise awarness of this genetic condtion that occurs every 7 in 10,000 births.  The money raised by this event goes directly to NFED and will be used to improve the lives of children with Ectodermal Dysplasias or to research a cure.

    We saw a tremendous display of generosity form all our supporters in this years torunament.  We encourage you to take a look at the Weston Walker SMILES Golf Classic website and help to spread the word!

    Thank you!
