2nd TTT Mix Classic Fishing tourney to push on tomorrow

Third time’s the charm as Tasi To Table’s 2nd Annual Mix Classic Fishing Tournament is set yet again for tomorrow, Saturday, Sept. 23.

Registration day is today, Friday, Sept. 22 from 4pm to 6pm at the Smiling Cove Marina.

The tournament is from 6am to 5pm also at the Smiling Cove Marina.

The fee is $200 per vessel consisting of one captain and two anglers; $30 for each additional angler.

Each registration comes with a limited-edition 2nd Annual TTT Mix Classic sun shirt with hood and mask, and other giveaways to be distributed on registration day.

According to TTT, the purpose of the event is to maximize fishing tournaments for the CNMI where anglers compete for prizes offered.

Proceeds from the tournament benefit the 501(c)3 non-profit corporation of TTT Inc. to support its continued mission for the youth programs spearheaded by TTT Inc. with the CNMI Public School System.

The TTT Mix Classic Fishing Tournament is a new tournament focusing on targeted pelagic fish species. However, in order to qualify your catch, submitting captain/anglers catch must include a combination of the qualifying pelagic species.

The qualifying pelagic species are as follows: billfish, yellowfin tuna, wahoo, mahi mahi, and skipjack tuna.

The combined weight of the two different pelagic species (ex: billfish and wahoo, yellowfin tuna and skipjack tuna…) selected by the team in competition is their weight category to determine the winner. Two of the same species do not qualify.

The prizes for first place is a whopping $3,000; second place is $2,000; third place is $1,000; fourth place is $750; and fifth place is $500.

Sponsors of the event are IT&E, IP&E, Bud Light, Fishing Tackle & Sporting Goods, and Marianas Visitors Authority.
