The Cool Beans fishing team is comprised of some of the Space Coast's top anglers. Team members include Tony Boob of Satellite Beach, FL, Mark Fletcher of Cumming, GA, Mike Renfro of Cocoa, FL, and Captain Tim Fletcher of Merritt Island who formed the team in the spring of 1997. Tony has been fishing with Captain Tim for the last 11 years and serves as "anchor" of the team. The fishing crew usually consists of 2 anglers plus the Captain, with other team members assisting in bait & tackle preparation and boat & tow-vehicle maintenance prior to each tournament. The format and timing of each of the tournaments determine which team members are actively fishing on the Cool Beans.
   The team is seeking sponsors to help them meet the financial demands of their aggressive competition schedule. In return for their contributions, all sponsors will receive promotional considerations on the tournament website, team t-shirts and team literature for the duration of the tournament year. Prime sponsors will be afforded additional considerations in the form of logos on the boat and team tow vehicle. Since the Cool Beans also operates as a for-hire charter vessel, all sponsors will receive the added benefit of year-round personal promotion with Cool Beans clients. If you are a potential sponsor and would like additional information concerning our promotional efforts, please e-mail Captain Tim Fletcher or feel free to call him at 321-432-5875
