OK - It's time now to setup dates for this year's Four Leg Tourneys - at least for the first half of the year.

Most of you know what the Four Leg Tourneys are but I will give a breif description here for those that don't or aren't sure.

The Four Leg Tourneys are part one of the SB Annual Tourneys with the other being the Year Long Tourney. At the 4 Leg, we have 2 meetings in RI and 2 in Mass, one each in spring/summer and one each at the end of Summer/Early Fall. The basics are that we meet at each "Leg" at the shop of one of our sponsors, take perfectly edible food and char it to beyond recognition, BS about fishing and other BS, and then head out fishing in the desginated waters. For the RI leg, all RI shoreline from Naps to L.C. plus we include CT west to the CT River and inland 3 miles. For Mass, we include from Westport, all thru the Cape, and up to Quincy, Mass.

All fish are to be caught and released, minimum size 36 inches, and must be witnesses, measured, and signed off by a fellow S-B member in good standing...

The top fish at the end of the year win prizes, anywhere from plugs to in some cases, a custom rod :hee: . There in no entry fee, just be a member in good standing and bring somethign to the cookout. Significant others are invited as well.


What I want to know - for both Mass (particularly the Cape) and RI - is what weeks do you think are the best fishing in June or July. Should we focus on the New Moons? Or a particular quarter?

Here are some tentative Saturdays around New Moons:

Rhody - June 4 Sat 7:43 PM - two nights before the New Moon

Mass - July 9 Sat 2:09 7.0 2:46 - three nights after the New Moon

Looking for dates and suggestions from people :btu:

Thanks!

John

Those dates look good. What are the times listed? High tide?

John- I think that is the same weekend of the RISSA spring surf tournament.....

You really gonna make me take 2 Saturdays off in a row?? :laughs:

Ooohhhh - Interesting - Whaddya think fellas, should we submit a team to the RISSA Tourney too??

What do you mean, 2 weekends in a row? June 4 and July 9? :hee:

hmmmmm
June 4 Ive gots to work at local park for National Trails Day
July 9 Ill be in Alaska

heres an idea , lets throw out the moon weekends and consentrate on the quaters . Here why . we never catch many fish during the get togethers and they usually fall into the new moon tides . Not that my opinion matters as I wont be able to make them anyway .

John:
Not sure when the Snug Harbor June Moon Madness Tournament is but it's in June around the new moon. Do you want 2 tournaments going at the same time?

That is a boat tourney isn't it?

Chris - that's why I'm looking for suggestions....


Thanks!

JOhn

i'd be game for rissa tourney if we can field a team, HELL Im always ready to fish :devil: Im good to go any weekends, lord willing :btu:

John, how bout we swithc it up, and fish Mass first, and start the day early. That time of year daytime is the right time.....

Nice call Specialist. Daytime for me until Mid-June

John:
The June Moon Madness Tournament is both. I have fished it as a surf entrant and there are usually a ton of guys in that division.

If I'm not mistaken June 3,4,5 are the dates for the Cape leg of the Tri-State Tourney.

oh duh! :boots:

Sorry that's fine... I thought they were both in june :o

Fishing Rhody in July would work for me. :uhuh:

oh duh! :boots:

Sorry that's fine... I thought they were both in june :o

Sniffin' too much paint Dave???? :humpty:

Any date is good, I just want to fish.... :pop:

Rhody - June 4 Sat 7:43 PM - two nights before the New Moon

Mass - July 9 Sat 2:09 7.0 2:46 - three nights after the New

I agree with the above, the new moon time frame should be the best time to have this event.

OK - back to dates:

How about:

RI - Sat June 18
Cape - Sat July 2nd?

And is there interest in fielding a team for the RISSA tourney (which I can fish) - I couold not find the date on RISAA's site.

There is also the Plum Island Tourney which we have been invited to for May 28th and 29th - I can't fish that one but if a group of guys wanted to put a S-B team together :hee: ....

July second is part of the July 4th weekend. I think that;s a bad time for having something down the canal/cape area. Besides , lots of people take off or do family stuff the long weekends.

Ultimate brain faht - OK - July 9 Sat or July 16? Don't want to get too late into July - that's one problem to consider....

July 9, and with the new RI date I maybe able to Make both legs. :buds:

july 9th :btu:

Any weekend is fine with me. If you need another body for the June4 weekend tourney keep me in mind. It is my borthday weekend so wife gave me a free pass to fish for 3 days :jump:

You mean the Spring MS or the fall MDA? The MS is first weekend of June, the 4-5 I think.
