I think they need a bigger venue, as it was quite crowded (and loud) there!
Good time though !:bgi:

Go back to a flat fee for parking. Allow one adult guest per registraint, and any children nesc. I wonder what the capacity is at that place. Deffinately more food vendors.

more food is a biggie, I was kinda hungry, but there was no way I was waiting in that huge line to get an overpriced hot dog.
the beer was better anyway....

Is it really necessary to put mikes on the bells of the brass instruments in an oom-pah band? :rollem:

Did anyone realize that they had a girl singing on some of their numbers? :bl:

I didn't make it there this year, something happens to a guy when on rounding the bend at Race Point at first light on Saturday morning and in the face of a stiff Northwest wind every striped bass on the Cape coast is feeding in the first wave and 30 pounders are swimming in back of you as you wade out and your first cast is greeted with a singing reel and a big bass heading to Spain. Of course I had to be back out there Sunday but of course the fish were no where to be found, oh well at least I landed a even dozen Saturday out of the maybe 20 plus I had on and every one a good fish at that.

I made my choice so I got to live with it, couldn't not be on that beach with the possibility of some fishing finally to had there.

Glad you all enjoyed StriperFest the OTW gang does a good job and a lot of hard work goes into it.

The parking was a f*cking travesty (pardon the language). There were signs and the OTW Staff also announced at least 2 times to be sure to pay for parking first.

Nobody did.:realmad:


To top it of while I was sitting in the car watching the complete disaster unfold in front of me, I started feeling nauseous. Upon arriving home I was in the full throws of the violent stomach flu that is going around which lasted until this morning. :yak4::yak4::yak4:

they did


the only one I remember from the polka band was the one that was hanging out with us and the cup.............that guy was the nutz

I said it last year, I was done.
Well they dragged me back this year..I made a decision to only do it with one fish.I would not kill 2 for a upgrade.No matter how much bigger.if I broke 30 it was on the rocks an that was it.Till I knew of the bottom line number to upgrade the club totals..
We had quite a few anglers good friends of mine that did not partake.(= 4 fish over 40 lbs).Ones that would have made a difference.They did it for basically the same reasons I considered not doing it.First conservation an second they are not really a fan of tourney's.The OTW person tallying up the numbers made some mistakes.Plus they where kinda lazy about posting the info IMO.So this year will be my last..My fellow teammates will be disappointed I just don't see the merit in fishing like this.
Looks like u guys had some fun with the trophy..Congradulations..
