On April 17, LCEC will host the 14^th Annual LCEC United Way Saltwater Fishing Tournament. The tournament is being held at one of Southwest Florida’s best fishing locations; Pine Island Sound, Charlotte Harbor. In addition to a large following, this tournament is known for fantastic raffles and prizes, delicious food and fun times! In 2009, the LCEC tournament boasted almost 80 boats and 200 participants, and raised nearly $20,000!

The cost per person is $50 before April 12 and $75 thereafter. A mandatory captain’s meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on April 16, 2010 at D & D Matlacha Bait and Tackle. All participants will receive a commemorative shirt and hat. Meals for guests and non-fishermen can be purchased for $5 during weigh-in. Cost for advertising and donation opportunities are available for interested community supporters.  

All money raised will benefit the United Way of Lee, Hendry and Glades.
