like the who's who of saltwater flyfishing. The entry fee for the
tournament is $1,250. and includes reservations for the tournament banquets

paying his guide. Part of the proceeds from the tournament will go
to benefit Children's support groups in the Florida Keys. Hot and
cold breakfast will be provided each fishing morning as well as refreshments
and snacks at the end of each fishing day. This is a competition, but it
is between the angler and one of the world's greatest fighting fish - the
tarpon. Great camaraderie and great fishing have lead to
many life-long friendships being established at the Gold Cup. This
is a fun tournament in the beautiful Florida Keys, fishing with fellow "tarpon
addicts" for one of the truly great game fish. It just doesn't
get any better. If you are a seasoned tarpon angler or a novice trying
