If so, it would be good to meet up!

For those who don't know what this is, it's a kayak fishing only tournament (catch and release only) based in Salem, MA. No prizes for any catches (except bragging rights), but one hell of a raffle table that everyone has a shot at winning...

Ya, me:cheers:

HA! Yeah I figured! See you there Chris!

I'm in..., my first Striper Shootout.

I'll be there in a blue revo

Spoke with half a dozen of them in Salem harbor last night. 30-40 participants already here getting some scouting in.

Yeah it's gonna be plastic-fleet city this weekend in the harbor!

Anybody catch anything?

Some Sunshine.....and good conversation. :hee:

Yeah freakin' slow day in an area that has been producing well for me!

I managed one 10-12lb fish and that was it!

Tourney is catch and release so no weights, but a 46 incher won the open division and a 47 incher won the artificial division. 2nd and 3rd place finishers were low 40 inches...

i was out there till sunset in the yak... nooothing. thats why i asked. whole place seemed dead.

as usual ... Slappy won and all the big fish were caught at night

that's true Chris! Slappy won the artificial division, but the open (a.k.a. eel or T&W) division was somebody different!

I caught a 20" Schoolie..., enjoyed meeting several nekf anglers from Jersey to Ontario. The BBQ was awesome! Met Rockport24, but didn't get an opportunity to fish with him. Maybe next time we'll take you up on the offer to guide us around.
