With the 2008 tournament season coming up, here is the opportunity to support your Naples Fishing Team, "Reel 1 Up" . This is an excellent way to help a non-professionally sponsored team be competitive this year.

Sponsorship is the key element to a team's success in the tournament circuit. With the majority of fishing teams being sponsored, those without can lack the money to fund necessary equipment and the opportunity to enter tournaments.

Your full or partial sponsorship would help with entry fees, equipment, travel expenses, fuel and other tournament related expenses. Detailed expense reports will be made available to ensure your sponsorship dollars are being used properly.

The average tournament cost ranges from $600.00 to $1500.00 depending on the length of the event and distance to travel. Team Reel 1 Up is striving to enter at least 6 tournaments this year, from Kingfish to Tarpon.

The additional benefits of sponsorship follow:

Full Sponsor: 1 angler position during the tournament*
Name of sponsor on the tournament boat for the year

30% discount on company charters
