MarkN68 Posted March 6, 2023 Report Share Posted March 6, 2023 This will be our first event can you tell me the host hotel? do we need to sign up or do anything to be able to attend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 There is no definitive location yet. The Tournament is usually announced in the early Summer for the September dates. Islamorada has been the location for three and a half decades. The Pandemic changed the long-time host hotel so we will have to wait to see what the arrangements are this year. The factory rep, Kent Krebeck, does the planning & arrangements and will make the announcement in the Tournament Section. Keep an eye on the Forum for the announcement and link to the event registration site. You will enjoy the tournament a lot and meet some really great people. The event is usually the last weekend in September so plan accordingly. I will check with Kent to confirm the dates. The Capts meeting has been on Thursday night, then fishing on Friday and Saturday. Awards dinner and prize raffle on Saturday night. Great family fun.. MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenrysCreek Posted March 13, 2023 Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 Are these dates confirmed? I have a friend with a place down there and need to book his unit. Long haul from Virginia, but after all these winter projects on the boat, it would be nice to get her back into some crystal clear water for a week or so!

Kkrebeck Posted May 1, 2023 Report Share Posted May 1, 2023 SAVE THE DATE! (9/28 - 9/30). Bring the whole family to this year's owner's tournament Hawks Cay Resort in beautiful Duck Key, FL! Aside from the killer fishing that Duck Key has to offer, the resort is the perfect place for some R&R if everyone in your group isn't into fishing. Tell the kids to get ready for some awesome competitions and prizes just for them. We will also have some great vendors attending the event this year. They will be showing their products and answering your questions. The event link for tickets and the app will be available soon. In the meantime, save the date, book your room, and check out everything Hawks Cay Resort has to offer online. 👉🏻 https://be.synxis.com/?adult=1&arrive=2023-09-28&chain=10237&child=0&config=MIAHC-GRP¤cy=USD&depart=2023-10-01&group=MAVERICK&hotel=26952&level=hotel&locale=en-US&rooms=1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenrysCreek Posted May 1, 2023 Report Share Posted May 1, 2023 Will be my first time at this event and looking forward to it! I sent my slip request in yesterday, but haven’t heard back. For those of you that have been to this resort (and event) before, I’d appreciate an opportunity to chat. Feel free to PM me and I’ll share my number. Thanks! Booked resort 9/27 - 10/2. Still waiting to hear back from the dockmaster. Will be pulling the old girl (18.5MA) down from Virginia. If weather cooperates, by BIL and I may make a stop in St Augustine the fish for a day or two before the event. Again, if anyone has pointers regarding the boat/trailer/slip….I’m all ears! Thanks!

HenrysCreek Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 Slip booked! Talked to Ed, the dock master. Still plenty of slips available but I’m sure they’ll go fast. Hopefully I’m not the only one at this event, ‘cause y’all would hate for a rookie to catch all those fish and win the Claret Jug of MGB! 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DblPly Posted May 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 Trust me you won’t be the only one there…😉. Lots of us are staying at other places; it’s not our first rodeo… Look forward to meeting you… WooHooo… 145 days and a wakeup!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenrysCreek Posted May 8, 2023 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 Changed up my reservation to the rodeo site! 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16bayfisher Posted May 10, 2023 Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 Hawks Kay is very nice. The last time I was there the new restaurants and docks were almost completed. How much is docking and is there a discount rate for the tournament? Feel free to PM me if needed. It looks like lobster season will be in full swing as well. Might just have to make the trip down from SC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenrysCreek Posted May 11, 2023 Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 I believe Ed quoted me $125/nite for the main marina. That one has power, while the small boat basin does not. Tell him you’re with the Maverick group 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Mullet Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 It'll be interesting to see how many of the Duck Key MBG boats will fish this. The Yellowfin OT usually draws most of the locals out to it and I know of at least a dozen of each Pathfinder/HPX/Cobia, a couple Hewes and 2 21 Master Anglers on the island.
