This year tournament anglers will have the opportunity to learn from the Crow’s Nest Fishing Team and pre fish aboard their own boat with Captain Steve Lassley. “We have a tremendous collection of top notch anglers on our Crow’s Nest Fishing Team, including Team Bad Company. We look forward to sharing their knowledge and expertise with the tournament anglers this year” stated Crow’s Nest Yachts C.E.O. Anthony Hsieh. While some of the Crow’s Nest Fishing Team members may be participating on different boats, Team Bad Company will not be competing as a unit this year. Instead, several of the team members will be on hand to help all participants compete at a higher level.

To this end, Captain Steve Lassley will be available for a day of pre fishing aboard two participating teams’ boats prior to the events. One of these teams will be selected by silent auction, with 100% of the proceeds being donated to charity. As a special incentive for Crow’s Nest customers to fish the tournaments, the other team will be selected by drawing from Crow’s Nest customers entered into the tournaments. To be eligible to have Lassley pre fish on your boat, you must be entered into the Crow’s Nest Catalina Classic and/or Crow’s Nest Avalon Billfish Classic by September 1st.

For tournament anglers who do not get the opportunity to pre fish with Captain Lassley, he and other Crow’s Nest Fishing Team members will be on hand at the check in festival at Descanso Beach Club, and will also conduct a special meet and greet/ fish finding seminar in Avalon the night before the tournament for all tournament anglers.
