I leaned towards the moss green waders as decksweeper went towards the champagne colored


the jackets.......I had mine first

Get the blue one and keep it in the truck, change if you have to :hihi:

Did I mention they were nice fish?

-spence

thanks..smart idea

Awesome job guys, and great pics. Congrats on the fish!

Another 53 or so points. Imagine if we put up 500+ points? Do you think any of the boating clubs can put up ten 50s in their totals, with only two fish per individual angler?

That .3 a pound almost makes it unfair in favor of surf clubs. Adds 12 pounds to a 40. Every 40+ lb fish is an automatic 52+. That's a big bonus, and IMO not really reflective of the disparity in difficulty between shore and boat.

We're kicking ass :btu:

Wow - I smell another new front page :eek5: - nice :btu:

So someone took the pic with both of you - who got skunked :tooth: ?

that is awesome Jim
congrats and nice photos :btu:

Jim that's the best news I heard today
Congrats real nice fish

Decksweeper, Nice Fish, I can't believe the Belly on yours

that's it I am moving to Rhode Island

Didn't you read the post? He had to try a new area - he was fishing Plum Island

Nice fish - that double shot might be worthy of the front page.

great job Jimmy and Mark those are some nice fish.the pics are great and the double shot is priceless deck sweeper looks like your in dream land.:rotf3:

what wered u usin?

Shhhhh I am trying to keep that a secret

nice:cheers:

sweeet:musc:

i think there cute .... the bass aint bad eather

Its a good start. More guys are participating this year, plus the large have been cooperative from the surf this year for many. Every year is different. Don't forget that every club can weigh in surf fish too, and it is still early in the season. I think a 40 from the surf is every bit as difficult as a 50 from the boat in this day and age. At the end of the year, I would guess the surf 40's will be equal or less than the boat 50's entered in the tourney. Just a guess.

Nice fish Jim.

Nice Fish !

look at the picture. u should kno.

That's a real nice fish. Congrats!

super healthy fish
 

who's taking the picture?

Great Job Jim:kewl:

Great job!

Nice work fellas!!!:jump: :jump:

outstanding.:beat:

NICE!

nice going guys!!!

How long did it take to land her? What pound test were you using?

15-20 minutes...felt like an hour

long enough for decksweepr to come over and give me a hand:cheers:

50# braid

Nice fish!

we look good in the standings right now but lets see what things look like after the first week of the commercial season when the boat/commercial numbers start piling up.

what was the total points of the team that won last year?

a better picture of decksweeper and I

High 470s. 4-5 fish were weighed in by their top guy, who was also the Angler of the Year for the boat division. This year only two count.

They also entered fish before and after the commercial season. They actually pulled it out over Team #^&#^&#^&#^&'s in the last week of the tourney. I don't think #^&#^&#^&#^&'s entered a single fish after mid-August.

Maybe with the .3 bonus some of the Vineyard guys will concentrate on surf after commercial season, but surf fishing for large on MV hasn't been all that great. Fish in the low 40s are winning the Derby. It's been almost 10 years since a 50 was entered from shore. I think #^&#^&#^&#^& Hathaway entered the last one.

Damn Jim, I'll be dreaming of that tonight. That is the stuff fo sho. Great fish and pictures.

Nice fish guys.
always a shame when you have to leave your favorite rock to escape the skunk. But always nice when it pays off on a hunch!

AWESOME FISH guys!!!! :jump:

Told ya you don;t need a boat! Nice fish Jim :kewl: That's worth 4 40's in a boat!
