You may not have won the Dick Bertram Memorial, but here is your chance to save your fishing reputation at the Annual Dave Napier Cast-Off! Last year's winner Wayne Copeland is looking to defend his title in this year’s single elimination bracket tournament. This is an all-ages tournament that will be sure to test your ability to put your bait in the perfect spot. Tournament gear this year will be Shimano Trinidad 12s with a 3.75-ounce surface iron on a 20-60 black diamond 7-foot rod. The objective is to cast the hookless surface iron into a floating 6-foot hoop. Each angler will receive 5 casts to get the iron into the hoop, one point will be awarded per successful attempt. The angler with the most points will advance to the next round. In the event the anglers have a tie at the end of the 5 casts, it will go into sudden death where the first person who has a successful attempt will move on.

When Dick Bertram, Ray Hunt, David Napier, and Michael Peters designed our legendary craft, not only did they provide us with a great ride, they gave us a great cockpit for cocktailing. This version of a Bertram Cocktail Competition will allow your top mixologist onboard to get creative and build their favorite cocktail that will be worthy of the Bertram name. At the end of the contest one boat and her signature cocktail will be awarded the Signature Bertram Cocktail award. Sponsored by Vaughts Yachts.
