SPECIAL PRIZES

Live Weigh-In Bonus: Weigh in your red drum alive and get an extra $20 payout (red drum must be on the primary leaderboard).

Intracoastal Angler Special Weight Prizes:

3.5 lb. Red Drum – $50 gift card (extra $25 if alive)

Big Weigh-In Drawing: Every boat that weighs in a fish will receive a ticket for our Big Weigh-In Drawing where we will be giving away a Mudpuppy Salt Stix custom rod (retail value $300) and $250 cash (compliments of Kirk Pigford Homes). No tickets will be sold–the only way to get a ticket is to weigh in a fish. These two prizes will be drawn at the Awards Ceremony from a very small number of tickets, so your chances of winning are strong. For the Mudpuppy Prize, you must be present to win, and for the Kirk Pigford Homes $250, you do not have to be present to win.

SeaTow Prize: The SeaTow prize (a $100 gift certificate to East Coast Sports) is based on the single heaviest red drum and goes to the boat whose owner has a current SeaTow membership.
