Hi guys. I have a request of anyone coming on Saturday that if they own any or know of anyone that has information on the Schaefer Trophy/Tournament if they could bring what memorabilia or info with them so I could take pics etc and talk to you. I am doing research for an upcoming piece and need all I can get. This includes info on Clubs, anglers etc. Thanks.

Don't know if you're looking for regional stuff or just information in general. Contact someone from the Asbury Park Fishing Club in NJ.
They are the oldest striped bass club in the country and have / had many members who participated. I've seen pins and patches that were awarded.

Try PM'ing NIB to get in touch with Larry Casparo. He has alot of their clubs records on file.

Pete kernicki of the pioneer valley club fished and won the tournament i know he has a bunch of patches and trpohys from back then i dont have his tel number at hand now but if interested i can get it for you pm me and i will give it to you he is known as the mad russian around the westely

All great leads and I will follow them up, thanks a lot to all of you!

Steve,
Tony Stetzko has two lamps at his shop in Orleans that were awarded to Schaeffer Judges. Ex Boston Herald OD writer Henry More gave them to him I believe.

Bill

Flap, the boss has a few old trophys and plagues in the basement of the store, I think they are his brothers and grandfathers.. I'll ask him about him.
You should talk to his brother too, he is one hell of a fisherman, used to win, or place in the old P-town Rod and Reel Tuna tourny regulary too, in the 70's and early 80's. I'll give ya his contact info Saturday.
And yeah on that stuff at Tones, I think his dad has some stuff too.
