For any of you old timers that spent any time around Mexico Beach in the 80's and 90's will remember the original Ling Ding tournament was always a blast and a fun time. We are hoping we can turn this tournament into a fun and exciting time for anglers and at the same time get some visitors to come and enjoy our area. Somehow I was elected to be the tournament director for this event so I need some of you hard core cobia chasers to come on over and compete! I will post more updates as they become available but for right now just circle your calendar and plan on having a good weekend(s) of fishing!

Sweet! I'm in. If I can just find my fishing gear I'll be all set.
