Saint Petersburg, FL, August 10, 2009 -- Members of the Dreamfish committee; Captain Chuck MacIntyre, Author Allen Applegarth, St. Pete Times Terry Tomalin, Captain Brad Fuller, Fox13's cameraman Nick Billias, Lynn Zirkle and Captain Steve Papen have coordinated a fishing tournament and benefit for Captain Doug Hemmer of Fox 13's Fish and Chips.
The Dreamfish Tournament & Benefit will be held in Fort Desoto Park on Saturday October 3rd, 2009 to raise funds to help pay medical expenses and future rehabilitation efforts for Captain Hemmer's back surgery.
Dreamfish will feature guest appearances from Mike Alstott , Chip Carter of Fox 13, Terry Tomalin of the St. Petersburg times and many other top names from radio, TV and newspapers media.
FISHING: Though primarily a snook, redfish and trout tournament, we have prizes & trophies for the best trash-can-slam, ugliest species, most spots, etc. There are many divisions to enter, from land based to boating and kids to adults. You are still welcome to attend even if you aren't fishing!
EVENT: We will have raffles going throughout the day and a live auction with plenty of great items to bid on. Come out and enjoy the food sponsored by Hooters, music by Dave Clanton, mini fishing seminars by some of the best captains in the area, fishing book authors and many other interesting people.
Please consider this an invitation to join us in our support to help a true legend in the Tampa Bay area, as well as bring all of us collectively together in what could be considered the toughest time in Florida's economic and angling history.
Anyone interested in donating to the benefit can find more information by visiting our web site. All funds raised are strictly for this benefit. Anyone attending this benefit must sign up, whether fishing or just coming for support.
