Welcome Anglers,<br />
As chairman of the 36th Annual <strong>Conde</strong> <strong>Cavalier</strong> Mardi Gras <strong>Fishing</strong> <strong>Rodeo</strong> and on behalf<br />
of all the members of my staff and their committees, I would like to Welcome one and all to<br />
Dauphin Island for what we hope to be the best rodeo ever.<br />
I would like to thank all of our sponsors, friends and fishermen for their support and for making<br />
this year’s rodeo the success that I know that it will be. Without your help and support; this rodeo could not<br />
happen. Please take time to read this book and support our advertisers in return throughout the year.<br />
This year’s leader board will include twenty-two different categories for<br />
general competition. We have eliminated 2 categories from last year. They<br />
are Wahoo and Shark. There are several inshore as well as offshore fish<br />
available and we hope that you agree that there is a good balance of each. I<br />
would like to offer a reminder to everyone that entries in the Redfish category<br />
must be “within the slot”.<br />
In addition we will continue our offering of three separate jackpots: Jack<br />
Crevalle, Speckled Trout, and King Mackerel. All Jackpots are optional.<br />
SHARK has been removed for conservation efforts.<br />
Junior Angler Tournament:<br />
This tournament will be separate from the regular rodeo (held at the same<br />
time) and is open to all junior anglers age fifteen (15) and under. A separate<br />
ticket will be required for the Junior Anglers. The tournament will award<br />
prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places in each of Ten Inshore Categories. There<br />
will also be a prize for the overall Junior Angler based on a points system<br />
(similar to Master Angler.)<br />
JIM COMPTON<br />
RODEO CHAIRMAN<br />
All of this is in addition to our normal special awards for the Mystery Fish ,Lady Angler, Male Angler and the<br />
$1,000 cash award for the Master Angler.<br />
The rules of the rodeo and for the jackpots are printed in this booklet along with some interesting information.<br />
Please take time to read all rules thoroughly.<br />
Have fun at this year’s rodeo and remember the rules of good sportsmanship. Obey all state and federal laws and<br />
most important – BE SAFE!!!<br />
The rodeo headquarters will open at 10:00 a.m. on both days so everyone come by and tell us about “the one that<br />
got away”.<br />
Finally, I would like to offer a special “THANK YOU” to all members of the <strong>Rodeo</strong> Committee, Your many long<br />
hours of service has not gone unnoticed by me and by others. In case I haven’t said it enough “Thanks to each of<br />
you for all your contributions”.<br />
Good Luck and Tight Lines to everyone!<br />

<strong>Rodeo</strong> Chairman<br />
