Dear Shoreline Bass Angler,

Sponsors - A huge thank you goes out to all of our Shoreline Bass Tour sponsors. Without their support our circuit would not be as great as it is. Please thank our sponsors any chance that you get to. Also, if anyone knows of any new sponsors please contact me with that information.

Please take time to fill out neatly/completely the form and mail it to the address below with a check made out to either Shoreline Bass Tour or Ed Opalek.
