Promont Outdoors and Hoo-rag
We are super excited about our collaborative efforts with Promont Outdoors, we wanted to take a minute to spotlight them and our latest design we are calling the Bedded Bull. Promont Outdoors in an American Apparel company that features fly fishing and hunting inspired clothing, hats and accessories. In April they approached us with a design that was based on a photo of a group of elk from doing what they do out west. Promont sent us a vector design that was based on a field photo. They took the photo, vectorized it and then laid out a camo pattern that is super unique and super effective.
Check out some of Promont Outdoors other gear at Promontoutdoors.com.

Red Bull Land Rush took place in April two days before the original Oklahoma Land Run took place 124 years ago.

The lucky and hard working team of “Pup 'n Suds” won in the end and we hope you join us in congratulating them. For more information on Red Bull or other events, visit www.redbullusa.com.

Hoo-rag has become a sponsor for the 2012-2013 USA BASSIN tournament trail. USA BASSIN is a rapidly growing tournament trail that draws anglers from all over the US in search of monster large mouths. Hoo-rags will be going to select boats during this upcoming season. If you are one of it's 17000 members there is a chance you will be getting a Hoo-rag. If you are a USA BASSIN member and want to see what a Hoo-rag is and how to wear one, please watch this video.
Here is a little bit about USA BASSIN:U.S.A. BASSIN is a grass roots team tournament trail, catering to the weekend angler and our youth. We promote a "family-friendly" atmosphere; this allows all team formats to participate, singles, two-person teams, husband/wife and parent/child to experience competitive angling, while learning good sportsmanship. We offer free membership to the Youth under the age of 18 before August 31 of every season in either the U.S.A BASSIN Team Trail or the U.S.A BASSIN Next Generation Trail. We offer low membership fees of $25.00 per adult that includes the right to fish any U.S.A. BASSIN tournament for that season’s year. Entry fees start at $25.00 for a weeknight, and $50.00 for a weekend tournament per boat/team. This makes U.S.A. BASSIN very affordable and fun for everyone! In 2003 U.S.A Bassin was founded on the simple tournament format that we run on to day; low fees with tournaments close to home. At that time we had 60 members in three states. By 2005 we grew to 500 members operating in 5 states. Two years later in 2007, our growth increased to 1500 members and 280 events in 9 states. In 2009 the growth has continued with over 3400 members and over 500 events in 17 states. Moving forward into 2010 we have expanded our tournaments to involve our youth even more with the addition of the “The Next Generation Trail”. The Next Generation Trail is designed to provide educational opportunities to the youth. By offering adult/youth divisions and teams, our youth will not only learn fishing skills, but will also have a chance of being awarded scholarship money towards their future education. Our youth are the future of our sport! The 2009 season’s Classic will be our biggest ever! The 2009 Classic to be held on KY/Barkley Lakes on May 1 & 2, 2010 and will offer members a chance to win one of four new boats (Nitro™ Z8, Nitro™ Z7, Nitro™ X5, and a Tracker™ Pro Team 170 TX draw boat) to be given away along with cash and sponsor prizes to total over $100,000. As we start our 7th year with the 2010 season, we would like to invite you to become a member of our organization to experience a different kind of tournament trail. Come out and see how tournament fishing is supposed to be! Nationally and locally, U.S.A. Bassin has partnered with many companies who believe in U.S.A. Bassin's goals and efforts. Anglers are assured a chance to win prizes, and have fun during the course of the season. Please feel free to browse our web site and register to participate in our Forums/Bulletin board.

"Anyways the first one is me looking pretty dull without a hoorag while out on the slopes"
"the second is just a sweet picture of my longboard"
"and the third is me upset cuz i dont have any hoorag stickers. Hope these work." We have no idea who this kid is and why he wants a Hoo-Rag sticker so badly, but all we really want is to see pictures of his airplane, and maybe some more pics of him sad without a sticker. If he comes through we will just have to send him and his friends some Hoo-Rag stickers and maybe even some Hoo-Rags. We will keep you posted. We are intersted in hearing what you facebookers think of this kids and this email. Do you know him? Look familiar? Let us know on the Hoo-Rag Facebook page.
Blue Water Open Winners
This past weekend was a lucrative one for anglers Chase Cornell, John Snipes, Tyler Richey, and Andrew Bossetti. This group of Hooligans decided to take on the large turn out of other anglers this weekend in Fort Pierce for the Blue Water Open Dolphin Tournament. They left the Fort Pierce inlet in search of the yellow ones in a 22' Pathfinder. They were surrounded by other big boats but ended up 16 miles offshore dirfting baits. The bite was slow for most of the day until around 3:30 p.m. when this group of 4 were energized by 3 good fish that showed up in the chum slick. They ended up catching all three of the visitors and it was enough to take 1st place in the tournament. They won $4,800.00 and bragging right with 3 fish. Dolphin one-25.9 The group also released two sailfish, and all accounts say it was a great day on the water for them. Congrats to this team, and hopefully we get out on the water with them soon!

Rob will be sending us some Hoo-Rag fish photos in the near future so make sure you check back here for some monsters. Palm Beach Boat ShowWe would like to say thanks to all the people that showed interest in Hoo-Rags at the Boat show this weekend.

What a mess.The Hoo-Rag Team just got back from our local big box store with a case of RED BULL for our web development team. Our developers are in the process of cutting up and implementing our new web design. Our official launch date is next week, but we are cranking away at this and it is coming along. Hang in there, you will be able to buy Hoo-Rags before you know it! |
The first group is at 6:50 AM. Swim is straight out and back along a line of buoys. You will go around the buoys, keeping them on your left at all times to the end, make a u-turn and then straight in to the finish on the other side of the line of buoys. Course will be lined with more than 20 lifeguards. In addition, swim angels will be available on shore and in the water (wearing yellow caps) if you need assistance for the swim. You can rest on a surfboard, rope or use a noodle at any time during the swim.
We will be exiting the transition area on our bikes heading north along the boardwalk. Please stay to the right and proceed with caution. At the end of the boardwalk, the pavement is rough, take that turn very slowly. Left turn, along the fence at 7 Presidents then make first right turn. Do NOT go straight out onto Ocean Blvd. Also, be cautious of people entering Seven Presidents Park.
3 Mile Run: Athletes will turn left (east) upon exiting transition area, then turn right (south) towards the south end of the boardwalk on the paved path following signs and volunteer direction. Water stop at mile 1 (mile 2 on return) is NOT the turn around. Continue on following signs and volunteer direction to turn around at very south end of boardwalk, past bathrooms and snack bar. Please stay to the right.
