Count me in as long as i am not in Chicago, going there for 2 weeks sometime this month.

sign me up please.

When's the cutoff for signup?

I might be in Martinsville Va. that weekend.I should know by the 8th if that's going to happen.

john/all -

the club challenge/tournament now benefits the Multiple Sclerosis Association, thus it is now called the MS Club Challenge. the MS proved to be a more accepting charity following the last 2 spring MS club tournaments.

other than that, the rules are correct as stated.

Thanks Seawolf... changes made.

count me in please. :boots:

Dumb Question
 

How do I join?

You have a couple options. If you belong to a particpating fishing club you can fish for them or for us. If you do not belong to a particpating club and fish for S-B, then I will need your first and last name to put you on our roster....

I will have a formal signup page shortly :)

Yes - I think we should have a little quick and dirty BBQ :)

Is weekapaug the only weigh in location? If so are they doing 24 hour weigh ins there? ALso what size fish should we keep 20lb+? WHat were the winning weights of years past?
Thanks
