44th Annual Hell Divers Rodeo
Its that time of year again and we are starting to gear up for the 44th Annual Hell Divers Spearfishing Rodeo. Last year was a blast with many fish coming close to breaking club records, not to mention the cold beer and fine ladies! With the looks of the fish already being landed in 2007, its going to be a hell of a year.
The event will begin on Thursday, May 31 and end on Sunday, June 3, 2007 with the weigh-in and awards ceremony. Four days of speardiving ending with a one hell of a great party. The weigh-in will be between 10 am and 2 pm. We have all the same fish categories including: Amberjack, Barracuda, Cobia, Grouper, Jack Crevalle, Snapper (Mangrove and Red), Sheepshead, Spadefish, Ray, Triggerfish and Miscellaneous. There is even a category for the heaviest 5 fish stringer of Sheepshead. Dive Categories include Scuba, Freediving and Skindiving. The Blue Water Division will have Wahoo, Mahi, Misclenaeous and the long awaited Yellow Fin Tuna. We will also have trophies for King, Queen and Juniors. We are in the process of contacting our beloved sponsors and hope to continue to offer the same great prizes as last year which included items from: A.B. Biller Company www.abbiller.com Aimrite Spearguns www.wongspearguns.com Aqualung www.aqualung.com Armor Products, L.L.C. www.armorbags.com Atomic Aquatics www.atomicaquatics.com Capt.

Re: 44th Annual Hell Divers Rodeo
We had a well attended and productive meeting last night and are moving ahead on schedule for the rodeo. I wanted to pass on some things that are in the works.
We should have the revised rules for the rodeo posted in the next day or two. No major changes with them. The catering for the party is going to be arranged with Southern Delta Catering. These guys are co-hosting the Venice Winter Invitational next weekend in Venice and put on a nice rodeo. Several HellDivers will be in attendance. They specialize in boiled seafood and bar-b-que. Jambalaya and Cochon du lait is on the menu for the HDR. Finger licking, good time. We are going to have the same band as last year (probably) and they kick out some good rock-n-roll. Beer will be plentiful as usual, other drinks as well. We are working on a beer truck with Hooter girls, but I'm not promising anything. The winners will receive trophies for their fish and a pick at our prize table. The solicitation of prizes is usually a slow process and doesn't come together until the last week before the rodeo. We have some commitments already from some top gear manufacturers but are always looking for new sponsors. Any help in this area is greatly appreciated. Overall, we are looking forward to a great rodeo. We will keep you updated. Zz

Re: 44th Annual Hell Divers Rodeo
I place the order for the HD Rodeo t-shirts today. They should be available in a few weeks.
As club president this year I got the opportunity to design the shirt. Hope you enjoy. Resize help? Zz

Re: 44th Annual Hell Divers Rodeo
The T-shirts will be ready in about two weeks. We will have black and white shirts available in sizes from M to XXXL. I ordered a couple of the mondo Triple-X for a guy who sent a PM. I will have one or two remaining. I'll keep everyone posted.

Re: 44th Annual Hell Divers Rodeo
What if you can't make it to the Rodeo? Can you still get a T-shirt to impress chicks and show spearo community solidarity? :O

Re: 44th Annual Hell Divers Rodeo
Ya'll can order shirts from the Helldiver's website.
Hey Helldiver's, is there any place around Venice to get tank fills during the tournament? That sure would be a lot better than haulin 45 tanks in the back of my truck plus all our other shit all the way from Baytown.

Re: 44th Annual Hell Divers Rodeo
Nope. You have to haul them all. Tanks have always been a problem on rodeo weekends.

Re: 44th Annual Hell Divers Rodeo
We are within a week of kick-off. This is the last weekend to make preparations. If you are diving out of Venice, be aware of a Kingfish Tournament at the Venice Marina. There were over 100 boats for this thing the last few years so be prepared for lines at the fuel dock.
