Another recurring Spearboard sponsor is James & Joseph aka SpearDeals.com based in San Diego, California.

Thank you Damien and J&J crew!

Over a year ago, I had the opportunity to visit their cool store in San Diego when I made a trip to personally see the legendary "Children's Pool" site that has been a pinnacle of controversy about beach access.

Here are a few external pics of the store. Please visit the website at:

Tony, have you thought about adding Lionfish as a category to the tournament? 1 point per fish up to 20 points would significantly reduce population of this little pests.

I like this idea. However, I dont know what the additional liability would be.

Hi guys,

I thought about doing that a few years ago. The potential liability is much greater. Even experts like my licensed aquarium collector friend get nasty stings from time to time. If I incentivize people with prizes or trophies, my risk may increase too much. The REEF foundation has the resources and insurance to protect themselves with their Lionfish Derbies. Maybe someday in the future, I will reconsider the risks. I hope you understand and will still enjoy the 2014 BBO.

Thanks for your input, Tony

The menu for the BBO luncheon is shaping up nicely. While I don't have images of the actual food, here are general images of what we will be eating. Due to the liquor license of the Moose Lodge, I learned Monday I can not provide unlimited free beer, water or soft drinks. But, there will be some free drink tickets I will pay for and then additional soft drinks and mixed drinks can be purchased at two full service bars there.

Baked Chicken



Pork Roast



Mashed Potatoes



Rice Pilaf



Green Beans Almondine



Baked Ziti



Salad



Bread Rolls and Butter
