I'm looking forward to it. Haven't read the rules yet, but I like the top three versus top five going towards angler of the year. It should keep the extra kills down and also allow the average stiff an opportunity to compete for it...five big fish is really only attainable for guys who are out there 5,6,7 nights/days a week.

Pretty sure Sea Dangles said he's fishing for s-b this year too...

I'll sign up again this year. That is good that they reduced the # of fish for angler of the year. My only gripe from last year is that they never sent out pounder pins. That was weak. Did they at least have them at Striper Fest?

thanks Jim. I actually just had someone from OTW contact me which I appreciated. I guess they gave them out at the fest and then mailed them to everyone that didn't picked them up. Makes sense. Why pay for the postage if you don't have to. I just got missed.

that reads like your happy about the change??

I would say a new truck is better than 10K even if you just wanted to sell it.

No truck???.,,,,,,and no VS?????,,,,,,,,screw that,,,,was actually pumped when I found out Budwiser was now the sponsor....for once I'd truly enjoy the beer at striperfest,,,,,
I never got any pins last year, and infact, they still have my 2008 Angler of the Year trophy which was broken when I got it............
A shame that it seems to be loosing its luster. I truly enjoyed fishing in it, even though it took such a physical and mental toll on me..........Been torn on which team to fish for this year with a couple of offers.......now I know. None.

Man!!!! Completely overlooked the part about no more VS monthly awards or a shot at a truck. That is disappointing. Those were two amazing prizes to shoot for.

Just checked the site again and it says monthly shore winners win a van staal reel.

• Monthly Prizes
5 monthly boat division winners will receive a Lowrance GPS/chartplotter.

I have a prediction that the Team Striper Cup will stay in good hands this year. I have heard we locked down some new "volunteers" from points south.Some of our younger shore anglers are rounding into form also.Anyone who can't get inspired to fish for a tournament Bud sponsors should get a wedgie from Iron Mike.

I dont know about you guys, but personally, Im not thinking about the money when Im fishing the striper cup... I just think it makes it more interesting and more fun... I dont get to fish as much for me anymore, so I guess I appreciate when I do. Think its the competiveness in all of us. Just my opinion for what its worth..... And yeah, team REEL DEAL Picked up a few more hardcore fishermen, along with some sponsors for the team.....

It's good that the numbers are getting reduced some more - is it enough? I don't know.

Good times! I think we'll be hittin' it with a solid eight, maybe 10 players, if my young boys want to fish it. And my wife said she'll take care of the house and the yard all season long :love:!

I hope they have it in Bourne again and would like to see some sort of day of the event tournament. The Canal is a location where there could be a catch and release tournament held where a person could catch a fish and call for someone to come weigh it before releasing it. They would have to have a golf cart and be allowed to travel on the access road but I think it could be done. I got 2 fish last year just before the event.

I received a nice email from Kevin Blinkoff at OTW regarding the Cup. I sent an email yesterday in regard to my pin and shirt not showing up, the lack of the truck and the alleged no VS stuff. I have posted Kevin's reply below:


Hey Paul,

Shirts and pins are on the slow boat back from the factory and should arrive this week- we'll get them in the mail as soon as we have them in hand.

We thought we were going to be able to offer a Toyota truck as the grand prize, but at the last minute something unexpected came up with Toyota- something about a gas pedal-
We're planning to get a truck sponsor on board for next year, but due to the unfortunate timing of the Toyota recalls we had to make a decision, so we decided to go ahead and put up 10k in cash instead.
We did not offer sign-ups until we had changed the prize rules to reflect the10k, but if you feel duped, we understand and will refund your entry.

As far as the taxes go - I'm no accountant, but tournament winnings are taxed as "Other Income" at your tax rate - so even if you are in the highest tax bracket, I doubt it would be taxed at 45%.

VS has been on board all along - We're still giving them away as monthly prizes. You know, you can't believe everything you read on those internet forums...

If you have any questions or concerns, you can give me or Chris a call at anytime

Thanks,
Kevin

OTW has tried to do the right thing all along,they have my support.I think the three fish limit will be an improvement.I think the points handicap has improved.I think the tournament is fun and with the addition of the NY NJ teams the competition has picked up.They listen to the anglers concerns and make most of the necessary adjustments.

I'll still make my donation. I haven't won anything in the last 2 years I signed up but I know it gets me out a little more. So that's good enough for me.

Um---I hope you realize that the Canal is 7 miles long, and if someone was fishing the east end, and the cart was where the tent was last year, there'd be no point in releasing that fish after the "official" weight was recorded. Golf carts aren't known for speed and on a nice day, that road is wall to wall walkers. ;)

Oh, and then if the guy was fishing the east end AND on the other side........:D

i am GLAD that VS's are still up for grabs,
that i'll hopefully feesh with more of the SB assemblage, and
i won't have to worry about 10 G's, a truck, or any AOY bling;
since, for me, i'll be happy to just put in more time, LAND a new pb,
and get the "juice/rush/motivation" that is inherent to vieing for the
prizes of the premier tourney of the Striper Coast. gl to ALL, and
why not dance wit tha one that brung ya redlite, JimmySly, CDangles???

SRT, when you sign up as a team (for Team S-B of course ;) ) you compete in both individually for prizes and certain the top ten points/fish of the team go into the team competition.

I agree it would be tricky but if there was enough interest and some strategically placed officials it could be done and might attract some of the catch and release only fisherman.

Gloves maybe?:rotf2:
Actually if you selected an areas based upon pole numbers you could concentrate the competition (we all know how to fish with others don't we?)and make cheating impossible and minimize the amount of officials needed, all just a thought but I don't want to hijack the thread. I just see the Canal being a spot where a C&R tourney could be run.
