wish I was:(

Me too... maybe this year.

Not yet best so far was 45.

I just sent in the paper work, now its just a matter of time:D....its a long list I hear.

Which "Nifty-Fifty Club" are you guys talking about?

I wore a patch on my fishing jacket for a few years back in the sixties. I think it was R. J. Schaeffer Striped Bass Tourney or Ashaway Line. I just can't remember. I also had the Gold Seal on the top of it that said "Super Sixty Class".

Salt Water Sportsman Magazine used to give out a free one year subscription to anyone presenting a certified fifty or better Striped Bass catch.

Those were the days!

I'm talking about who here has caught a fifty poundah or better.

I had a feeling you would be e member since your location says sow and pigs reef.... The golden triangle of bassing

:wave:

Turned Fifty last November! :bshake:

45 is my personal best.

44

The big ones always get away:bc: :bc: :wall: :lossinit:

my biggest was 48 but that was from the canal so does that count for a 50!!:D

i have been blessed bye the striper god with two 50's and a 64 pounder all from shore:ss:

I was asking about The Nifty Fifty Club from long ago? Is it still in exestance? I think it had something to do with the Scheafer Bass Tourney and I remember getting a spool of Ashaway fishing line and a subscription to Salt Water Sportsman.

I would sure like to look at their records over the years. There has to be others that remember the Scheafer Derby's of years ago???
Guys from Deleware and other far away places, like Connecticut used to come to Cuttyhunk just to build up the point score for their home clubs.

Eben, did I read you had kin on Cuttyhunk? Something about somebody whittling Striped Bass? Who was that? Refresh my memory, or maybe it was before or after my death!

Nor-easter, I had to chuckle on the free year's subscription to Salt Water Sportsmen for catching a Fifty in the "good old days"...........
anyone who filled out a card at the RISSA show a few weeks back is getting a free year's subscription to Salt Water Sportsmen
:p

Yes and no... My grandparents had very good friends who had a summer home on cuttyhunk and when I was a wee lad I'd sail over there on the family boat and spend some time running wild on the island. Steve Baldwin was his name.

I got mine in NH 3 summers ago. Begining of Aug ,2:30 PM, bright sunny sky, outgoing tide, on a high-low rig w/chunk mack. Caught on a crappy $29 zebco quantum set-up w 2 year old 20# mono.:D

Only if cod count :D

You can put me down for both clubs, turned 50 last year and I've got two 50+ fish to date.

Does cod or tuna count?

Hey backlash...

Im just hoping some of that good karma and my move closer to the water brings me a 50!:rolleyes: If i do happen upon a 50, shes going back in the water to make 1000s of potential 50's down the road for all of us!
