It is official! The
2006 Triumph Boat Owners Mackfest will be held
July 14-15, 2006 at
Portside Marina in
Morehead City, NC. This will be an Inshore and Offshore tournament for Spanish and King Mackerel. Denard Harris at Portside has graciously offered to host the event again and
Merritt Marine will be a co-sponsor along with Triumph Boats and TriumphOwners.net. You can enter one or both Inshore/Offshore, plus you can enter the "
Calcutta" for either or both categories and/or the "
Tournament-in-a-Tournament" for one or both events.
The Calcutta is based on the largest fish in each category (offshore and inshore). The fish can be one of the fish in the (3) three-fish aggregate weigh-in. The angler chooses the fish
prior to weighing in the three-fish aggregate. The Tournament-in-a-Tournament allows for Boat and/or Motor brand competition. (I'll get more details from Denard Harris at Portside to clarify this).
