Might be a good time to be a bass fisherman in the Coast Guard. Authority to allow active duty time off for 4 days, that's cool.

[rlb8s]

It is a great event. come fish it if you can.

Thanks for the invite but if I was familiar to the waters PLUS rule 1 looks like USCG personnel only: 1. All eligible MWR patrons are invited to participate in the twenty-fifth annual Coast
Guard Open Team Bass Tournament sponsored by the Base Miami Beach MWR.

If you are in any branch of service, retired etc... and have privileges to any MWR you are able to fish.

[rlb8s]

As Shef correctly pointed out, this is open to all MWR patrons from any branch of service. I don't recall a time when we didn't have every branch of service represented. I hope to see you there if your are active or retired military.
