So i fished in the annual Bluewater Open tournament in Sebastian this weekend. We caught fish but nothing that was worth taking to the weigh in. However, the Exchange Club that sponsors the tournament held a live auction for some really great items on Friday night in conjunction with the Captains Meeting. All proceed from tournament including auction are used to help abused children. One of the items for auction was Tigress outrigger bases, aluminum poles, and double rigging kit. There are some deep pockets in the crowd so I figured although I wanted the setup I wouldn’t have a shot as the value was north of 2k. Well, the auctioneer gets to 900 and the bidding is down to one guy. He’s about to let it go and I bid 1k. I’ve been watching the used market and knew just bases are going for $600-900. He bids $1050 I come back at $1100 and SOLD they were mine. I couldn’t believe it. Below is my next DIY project.
