Fun-n-Sun Boats & Tackle 1st Annual Charity Fish & Chips Tournament Dec 14/15 benefiting Hood Co. Child Advocacy UPDATED INFO on OP

At Fun-n-Sun we are always trying to do something that nobody else in the market area will do, and on Dec 14 &15 we are planning a different way to have a great time, win money, and more importantly donate money to the Hood Co. Child Advocacy Center.
The HCCAC is a special group of people who provide counseling and stability for abused children and we have raised in excess of $24,000 in the 3 years we partnered up with the Hood Co. Sheriffs Dept. to raise funds for the children. Fun-n-Sun was the first to put on a tournament on Squaw Creek before the lake opened post 911. A lot of you guys were some of the first to jump in and help that first year and both the HCCAC and team Fun-n-Sun are humbled by what you did.
Now, we are proud to announce a tournament format that we first fished in Oklahoma (Bass Champs and some of the LSB Boys are familiar with them) but are the first to bring into a dealership level. Its called the
Fun-n-Sun Fish-n-Chips Tournament

It will be a Texas Hold Em Poker Tournament at our FNS Hurst location at 3:00 Sat 14th. We will smoke briskets with all the trimming (including free beer!) for everyone to eat- plus other activities for anyone hanging around to watch their partners mad poker skills. The bass tournament will be on a CLOSED PRIVATE Squaw Creek for just the anglers of the FNS Fish portion of the event.
\
Here's the basics of how it will work:

The first 100 teams to commit are in

100 teams @$400 each = $40,000

10% donated to Hood Co Child Advocacy Center, in accordance with the Hood Co.Sheriffs Dept.= $4,000

10% to cover expenses = $4,000 (any money left over from cost will be added to the Charitable contribution)
$32,000 to be paid out as follows:

SAT NIGHT HOLD EM TOURN(at Fun-n-Sun Boats in Hurst) SUN BASS TOURN (at Squaw Creek)

Main Table Payout $12,500......... Squaw Creek Payout $12,500
1st $5,000 ............................... 1st $5,000
2nd $2,500 ...............................2nd $2,500
3rd $1,250 ...............................3rd $1,250
4th $750 ..................................4th $750

6th $400
7th $300

POKER TOURNAMENT PORTION

Each team will have only one player play for their team. However, if both members want to play, then they can switch off each blind level and play the same chip stack until they are eliminated. Blinds and levels will be aggressive, as to keep the tournament in an adequate time frame for everyone to play, eat and be home in time to get plenty of rest for the fishing portion on Sunday. Approximate times will be 3:30-8:00. I will provide 10 tables and 10 professional dealers with a tournament manager for Hold em. We will provide food and beer for all contestants, including the non poker playing team members who come to watch. registration will be done at Fun-n-Sun on Saturday for everything including weight slips, waivers, lake rules, take off time, etc.
THE POKER TOURNAMENT WILL START AT 3:30 SHARP, SO PLEASE BE AT THE HURST STORE BY 2:30-2:45 TO REGISTER. EACH PERSON WILL HAVE ONE OPTIONAL REBUY OF $40 FOR 5,000 CHIPS; OR AN ADD-ON AFTER ROUND 4 (BREAK FOR DINNER) OF $40 FOR 5,000 CHIPS. AFTER THE DINNER BREAK, IT WILL BE A FREEZE OUT TOURNAMENT.


5 FISH FISHING TOURNAMENT PORTION

Take off and weigh in will be at Squaw Creek and handled by Bass Champs in accordance to whatever they deem fit for this event. All funds will be paid at the lake for both events immediately following weigh in. BOTH CONTESTANTS MUST FISH THE TOURNAMENT! This will prevent having a non fishing card pro only play cards while the angler fishes solo. The Sheriff's Posse and Fun-n-Sun will be serving food at weigh in.


The first 100 teams to commit are in, and I have 79 teams already committed. Please reply on here to save your spot, or call me or Monte if you have our numbers. Once we get 100, we will start an alternate list in case of cancellations.

THIS IS GOING TO BE A LOT OF FUN, AND NO POKER SKILLS ARE NECESSARY! JUST LOTS OF FOOD, FUN AND FELLOWSHIP FOR A REALLY GREAT CAUSE!!!

Thank You to all our fishing friends, and supporters of what Fun-n-Sun does.
God Bless and Good Fishing,
Jeff Gilbert

http://texasfishingforum.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/9455757#Post9455757

Great deal guys ,20%off some of the best tackle on the market!

Still some non-boaters needing a ride for this tournament

OK I hear there are only around 40 spots left so grab your partner and let's make this happen for these children and make some Christmas Money for yourself...

Hey all, we had a private donor donate half the beer for the Saturday night Poker portion of the event. What does that mean? Well the money we had ear marked for that expense has been cut in half so we will be able to send about $500 of what was projected cost, to the Children's Advocacy Center. They also donated some nice prizes for the cornhole and flippin contest to the non playing partners that night of the dinner.

This deal is getting bigger and bigger through these kind of donations (also Classic Fiberglass added $100 to the donation) so don't miss reserving your spot!

bump

We have 36 open spots.... I also have a couple of really good Holdem tournament players who are non boaters, but can fish well also. Let me know if you are interested.

Awesome I'm sure we will get a full field with it that close to full this far away this is going to be a great weekend!!!

Fish & Chips is getting closer ,Lake look good . All you hunter can give the deer a break for one weekend for a great cause

List updated.....

Also-

Thank you to Stan Lawing and Nestlé for donating the bottled water for the dinner and bass tournament, and also a cool prize pack for the flipping and corn hole tournament on Saturday night. This just helps us take the money allocated for that and donate it to the charity!
You are truly a blessing, Stan.
Thanks,
Jeff

Stan is about as good of a person as they get!

OK Gentleman, 2 weeks away let's fill these spots

THE POKER TOURNAMENT WILL START AT 3:30 SHARP, SO PLEASE BE AT THE HURST STORE BY 2:30-2:45 TO REGISTER. EACH PERSON WILL HAVE ONE OPTIONAL REBUY OF $40 FOR 4,000 CHIPS; OR AN ADD-ON AFTER ROUND 4 (BREAK FOR DINNER) OF $40 FOR 4,000 CHIPS. AFTER THE DINNER BREAK, IT WILL BE A FREEZE OUT TOURNAMENT.


WE HAVE 80 TEAMS AND ADDING PRIZES AND AUCTION ITEMS EVERY DAY!

We need to get Jury Johnson back for this event. Monte, will you fly him in for this? He lives in mijagin.

Why are y'all talking smack about Jury? That guy was one of a kind with his Jimmy Houston hairdo and a carton of Marlboro lite 100's in a flip top box stashed behind the reel counter. If you don't balee me you can ask Arthur. Lol

Here we are a little over a week away from this great event. We still have some spots left so let's get them filled up... I would also like to say a Big Thank You to Jeff Gilbert and all the fine people at Fun n Sun for making this happen.....

Would love to fish this for such a great cause if anyone needs a back seat partner send me a PM. I have the poker covered on my end and I have also caught a fish or two.

BJM, I am working on a couple of guys who need a poker player that can fish, i got you in mind.
Jeff

Bump

Okay, thanks Jeff.

May have missed this, but do we have to make our own reservations for Squaw Creek?

Nope, I ask him yesterday. Also, it's $10 to get in and not the normal $30

Don't forget the great discounts on tackle with registration

so is it full yet, think I might be in???? how is the boat take off gonna be at squaw???? numbered by the way u sign up, draw???

I believe there are a few spots left

Bass Champ will be handling the fishing portion of the event, and you will draw for take off numbers when you check in at 2:30 on Saturday before we play the poker portion of the event. Bass Champs does an amazing job as always and if anyone hasn't fished one of their trails, then your about to see a stage, weigh in and fish care operation that is equal to any of the BASS or FLW events. Chad & Jeff are top notch!
Jeff

Also, PM me or call me at Fun-n-Sun in Hurst 817-280-0303 for my cell number and I'll answer any questions you have.
Jeff

I'm ready this is gonna be a great event
