COASTAL FISHERS BAY TEAM, 2: Anglers can support 
saltwater fisheries by doing what they love doing ... details 
on Passport to Texas. 		 (Week of Nov. 13)

PTT from TPWD and the SFWR Program

If you're a saltwater angler, Saturday is your last chance 
this year to take part in the free Coastal Fisheries Bay 
Team Tournament. And Flounder is the catch of the day.

The reason we're collecting in the fall is because they conduct 
their fall runs, and it's a little easier to collect these guys during 
that time period. :07
 
Robert Adami coordinates Saturday's tournament. Anglers 
need to show up at Froggie's Bait Doc in Port O'Conner 
before 6 a.m. if they're serious about participating. 

We are going to be registering thirty, two-person teams on a first-
com-first-served basis. So, if people want to fish with us, they've 
got to be there early. There have been times registration has filled 
up by seven-fifteen, seven-thirty. :13

The tournament ends promptly at twelve noon, with 
prizes awarded through a drawing. Adami says 
participating in this event allows anglers to give back to 
the resource, making it a win-win situation.

It is a win-win situation. Because even if they don't get anything 
to take home that day - as far as a prize goes - they've been able 
to put something back into the resource for future generations; 
their kids, their grandkids and so forth ... :13

The truth is, nobody leaves this tournament empty 
handed. Visit the Texas Parks and Wildlife web site to 
find out what all anglers receive just for doing what they 
love to do.

That's our show ... supported by the Sport Fish and Wildlife 
Restoration Program ... funded by your purchase of 
fishing and hunting equipment and motor boat fuels ... for
