Striper Cup 2009 starts May 4th (Details, details, details :tooth: )...

Lets get a list going for Team Striped-Bass.com

Usual rules, no need to weigh Team fish under 30 (35?) pounds.

Come up with a better internal listing of fish weighed in to keep track of our stats instead of relying on OTW?

IN: Shore, Boat, Shore & Boat

Thanks!

John

I'm considering it

I'm in for shore.

I'm in for shore.

that's a good pun

I'm in.

I'm in for shore.

Good Point, also say if you are in for shore, boat, or both - thanks!

I'll play.


Shore.

Striper Cup 2009 starts May 1st.

Just as an FYI....it starts the 4th.

that's a good pun

You're assuming Tony is that clever :hihi::hihi::hihi::hihi:

I'm in, shore.

i'm definately in for shore, but possibly considering shore/boat.

I'll probably do shore, but I suggest the minimum size shore fish is 35# and minimum boat should be based off the multiplier of 35#X 1.2=42#

So I'm saying 35# for surf and 42# for boat should be our team minimum.

ME..........shore

Boat, maybe shore too

Already signed up for the both divison.........Gonna be a dog fight with team striper putting together an even better team than last year and rumors of another allstar team being put together. It will take a lot of luck and perserverence for us to take it back.....

I'm in for shore. Joined at RISAA.

iam in

I am in boat and shore.

I'm in - shore and boat this year!

In - Shore

i'm in from the shore

i'm in

My 16yr old son wants us to join this year, I have 1 question though if you sign up with team affiliation, do your fish still count in individual class? Thanks

Yes, any team fish do count towards individual totals.

i'm in, SHORE~~~~

and i'm predicting the trifecta for Team S-B.
biggest striper, anlger of the year, AND The Cup!!!

and redlite's right, we MUST be relentless.
how's about ya angler229, linesider69, doc, luds, clogston,
we could use some more hep~~gents!! :bl: :bl: :bl: :bl:

I'm in for Boat, will be out in boat 3 or 4 trips a week.
Son wants to catch something large :)
I won't weigh-in anything under 40 pounds.
Would be nice to help S-B get the title back.

I've been tossing this back and forth all winter.... Some of the off season threads on the cup had me on the fence.... ah, what the hell. I'M IN.

another question that is probably relevant to most fisherman here (assuming OTW tournament isnt the only tournament people sign up for)... can a fish count towards multiple tournaments standing? i.e. if i caught a 40# bass and had it weighed in, could i submit that to the OTW striper cup AND say the Fisherman Mag. Dream Boat Challenge tournament? or does that vary from tournament to tournament... also would be overlapping a little with the MV derby... just curious.

what the hell, i am in again for the shore, who knows maybe this is the year I catch a weighable fish from shore.

Im in for the shore division. Ive been kicking it around for the past 3 years, its about time. Is there a weigh station on block island? :)

boat

I'll probably do shore, but I suggest the minimum size shore fish is 35# and minimum boat should be based off the multiplier of 35#X 1.2=42#

So I'm saying 35# for surf and 42# for boat should be our team minimum.

What happened to the "I'm with Numbskull" rhetoric you were spewing ?

Sandbagger or hermaphrodite?

Do you have to subscribe to OTW?

What is the entry fee?

Yes you can use the same caught fish for all the above tournaments.

What happened to the "I'm with Numbskull" rhetoric you were spewing ?

Sandbagger or hermaphrodite?

I said probably, that doesn't mean definitely....

I figure if I don't enter you'll take me to the place you really got those fish this summer...:angel:

Do you have to subscribe to OTW?

What is the entry fee?

$40 to register for Either boat OR shore
$35 if you are a Club Member
$30 if you subscribe to OTW

add $15 to each if you want to fish BOTH

Youth is $20

You can register online at http://onthewater.com/OTWstore/otwstore_stripercupreg.html also Yes there is a weigh station on Block Island at Block Island Fishworks ( I believe you can register there too).

I said probably, that doesn't mean definitely....

I'll take you regardless,just stop crying wolf.

ill be in for shore....

Go easy on him, the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. The path from eel fisherman to plug fisherman is long and arduous. As an eel fisherman he will first need to be reincarnated as a worm, then pig, then ape, then little league coach, then fly fisherman.....at which point (and much to his wife's relief) his testicles will fall off and, undistracted by earthly needs and rewards, he can proceed to highest and purest level of the angling world, thereafter living out his life as a shining buddah to others less fortunate (except, naturally, for his own children to whom he'll always be an embarrassment). Now both of you go contemplate your navels, your base mumblings distract me and are ruffling my karma. Carry on.

I'm in. shore

George may have just supplanted the notorious N I B as the third to referee our next outing to the promised pulpit of my choice, plugs notwithstanding.

:hihi:you guys kill me.

I may do the man in the boat again this year, not that it will much matter in the scheme of things.

Not fishing the tournament, but I'm hoping that maybe things will get contentious enough so they'll be interesting fodder for a book that I can sell the movie rights to Dreamworks for 600,000 like that Dave Kinney guy....

Yes -Joe is now the official Stirper Cup embedded war correspondent to document all of the action.

Yep.

just stop crying wolf. :laugha:

I get the Gansett newsletter and I guess they are one of the major sponsors which is cool in my book. I just might try and attend the party. I'd enter my name but I don't want to bring you guys down. Good to see an old sponsor come back!

:cheers2:

"We are proud to announce our partnership with On the Water's 2009 Striper Cup! Many of you may remember the Hi Neighbor tournaments of old, so it's great to renew this tremendous New England tradition. "

If Gansett's in, that must mean Harpoon is out. :(

That means it'll be BMOB if Gansett hosts the end of the tournament awards ceremony.

Gansett :yak6:

I'm in probably just shore but thinking about signing up in both divisions.

I might enter just because gansett is a sponsor, that's awesome!

You got it...Gansett is the new Sponsor and it looks like Harpoon is out.

and I agree.....BYOBeer......gansett is what you buy the day before payday when your digging through the Cushions for loose change.

My Grandfather used to drink that all the time.....and he liked it piss warm. :yak:

Supposedly they have improved the taste of the original as well come out with a few new ones. Guess Gansett Fest will be in, well Cranston - Damn, gonna miss my Harpoon but will enjoy short commute.

It's way better now. Mark Hellendrung of EP has done an awesome job bringing the name back and getting a long time local icon back in business. I'm all for bringing local jobs back to RI or the area in general. They did take 3rd in the American Lager division which as the most entries in it at tlast years World Beer Fest. They beat out a lot so called better beers. I still love the Harpoon IPA though. Don't mean to tread on your thread with beer talk. I'll end it there. Thanks.

Beer talk is cool :cheers2:though probably for another thread :alien:

I've never signed up for the tourney, but am seriously considering it this year. It will give me a little more motivation to get out there more.

The Narragansett Bock is a great beer, but it's only brewed seasonally.

count me in

I'm not so sure about that--when it first came back, it was advertised as being brewed "according to the original recipe" in upstate NY, not Cranston.

And the sample I tried at RISAA a couple of years ago sure as hell tasted like the SOS.

i'm in for the" both "division.

I'm joining for a shot at a VS and truck, and will probably fish both divisions. Would like to fish with S-B if you guys want me. hehe I find myself drinking Gansett a little too often now a days but I don't mind it. Went to a bar the other night and they had Gansett light bottles for 1.50. Don't mind if I do. You get what you pay for though.

At least with the "old" Gansett, you actually got more than you paid for--they therew in a case of the trots at no extra charge :humpty:

I signed up for S-B today. Shore division....

I'M IN ,SHORE

Closest weigh station is minimum of 30 minute drive with no traffic.... ridiculous for an area like this.

In maybe I'll get something worth weighing in this year :hang:

Had the same problem living in Franklin as we were close to 1 hour from a weigh station. I talked to one of the local B and t's and he became a weigh station soon after. I guess what I'm saying is if there is a shop near you not participating it might be worth asking them to participate.

Signed up for both divisions the other day. Hope I get something worth weighing

Bump for love :bl:

This is it guys lets get out there and give it HELL!! If you're thinking about signing up just go ahead and do it everyone else is :smokin: And if you're a C&R guy just keep in mind that they do have a C&R category for pins, lets get out there :thanks:
