Geaux Fish to reel in up to $275,000 in cash and prizes Fish waters from Calcasieu to Breton Sound July 2—Sept. 5 to win big
NEW ORLEANS—June 23, 2011—Calling all anglers: prepare to cast your line for the fishing event of the season. The Louisiana Charter Boat Association (LCBA) and BP are proud to announce Geaux Fish, your chance to reel in up to $275,000 in cash and other prizes while doing what anglers do best—fishing—from July 2 to Sept. 5, 2011.
Geaux Fish, with the help of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF), is tagging 50 speckled trout in waters from Lake Calcasieu to Breton Sound, and each one is a winner. One fish is tagged as the grand prize, worth up to $250,000. Five other major prizes include a new 2011 Ford F-150 Supercab, a 2011 Blazer Bay 2170 boat and trailer, and three individual cash prizes of $5,000 each. The remaining 44 fish represent cash prizes and other big-ticket items totaling more than $22,000.
Catch the grand prize fish while fishing with a registered Louisiana charter boat captain to increase your winnings by up to 10 percent, totaling up to a potential $275,000—and that’s no fish tale!
"Sponsoring Geaux Fish with BP is a great way for us to encourage beginner baiters, experienced anglers and enthusiasts of all levels to enjoy the sport while competing for great prizes," said Daryl Carpenter, LCBA President. "Louisiana’s charter boat captains and guides are available during Geaux Fish and year round to help anglers get the most out of the Louisiana fishing experience. We are looking forward to a great event and a great season."
"We are proud to host Geaux Fish with the Louisiana Charter Boat Association to encourage people to fish the waters of South Louisiana," said Iris Cross, general manager of external relations for BP’s Gulf Coast Restoration Organization in Louisiana. "We want people to know the waters are open and the fish are biting. Geaux Fish is the perfect opportunity to come and see for yourself."

Participants must be registered and have accepted the rules and regulations to be eligible to receive prizes, if they catch a prize winning tagged fish.
