Phatbass, you are close to my area, check out Perigrine 250, not only do they make a top of the line boat detailer they also make a great hard water spot remover and an electronics lens cleaner, Three great products that have several other uses.

Re: 2016 Schedule - CTT California Tournament Trial

You do not have to sign with a pro, however if you are signing up solo it is best to get registered early and your chances of getting in are much better. If you happen to know someone that is fishing on the boater side and can sign up together you are garunteed in.
