We will have a BBQ on Saturday afternoon. We have been graciously offered a great venue for the mini-bbq on Misquamicut Beach. Details and directions to follow...

So, come and show Team S-B a good effort :btu:

Short version, clubs from all over CT, RI, Mass compete for the three largest bass and three largest bluefish to be caught as a TEAM.

Please add your name here to this list so I can get a roster together.


An historical note: With a strong team effort and Herculean effortd by Johnny Habs, Tattoo, and Krispy a/k/a The Gas Man, Team S-B won this event several years ago. It is time for a retake :btu:

I will be donating several plugs to the raffle table at the Andrea as well...

John, once again I'll particpate and hopefully weigh a fish in this year!

Gotya!

Thanks

ggod thing here111 - my wife has Multiple Sclerosis and I just did the 150 mile ride and am doing another 100 mile ride Sunday in NYC

John, I will be down there at some point during the event. Katie says she wants to go also. May want to try and find a place where the wind (just in case) will let us grill.

i'm in.

I'm in

I know last year there was talk on expanding the border beyond Narragansett to include the east side of the state (Jamestown, Newport, etc....) Any word on this?

No luck. They're still scared to let Newport County fish their home waters. Look at what happens in the spring challenge. :hee:

At least it's not a 2 hour round trip for me to weigh a fish anymore though... :btu:

Way back when the scope of the tournament was just Watch Hill to the hard side of Charlestown. One of the goals of the organizers, and a principal reason for having the tournament, was to bring clubs together. Limiting the area made it more likely that guys from different clubs would meet each other. It has since been expanded from Napatree to the Narrow River, but is still limited at least in part for that same reason.

John, I'm going down Fri. morning. If you remember, bring 2 T shirts (XL) one each color. Not sure where I'm staying, but I should have some floor space at least. Call me when you get down.

I'm in for Friday night - no can do Sat night though.

OK Who Else Can Fish for Team S-B :musc::tooth:

Update: Couple people asked about a "fee" - There is a team fee and I already took care of that ;) - so no fee for the individuals, just the team and I already paid that which goes right to the money raised for the MS Society...

Come on, we need more sign ups :btu: :nailem:

:thanks:

iam in

Cool!

Put my name on the list. Not sure when I can weigh in as I work Sat. and Sun. Will be down Friday. Can other members weigh in someone elses fish?

Watch out for the sleeper team from CT... :vamp:

i'm seeing if i can get a friend to go. i'll have a for sure idea sometime before friday.

Hi John

You can put my name in. I don't know what times I will be up, but I am definitely planning on being there. Sounds like Friday would be "normal" with the rain and lightning and all.

Sorry NCSWFC and SB.com...

I defected to Narragansett Surfcasters last year.
Gotta fish for them...

Traitor... :hee:

I'm still a NCSWFC boat guy...
but since I live/fish here... :-D

Not like you guys have needed my schoolie catching ass anyways...

I guess living there is an acceptable excuse. ;)

See you on the rocks.

OK, need some more SB signups ! I need to get the roster in over the next couple days.


What time would be good for the BBQ on Saturday (will have shirts) at Misquamicut?

This is probably a stupid question but how is the winning club determined? Or is it just for bragging rights as far as who caught the 3 biggest bass and 3 biggest blues? :huh: Cool either way, just curious.

John, did you see my post. If I was to catch a weighable fish Fri night can someone weigh it for me on Sat. I have to get back to work Sat morning.

Ooh - I slipped on that, no - you would have to weigh the fish in during the shop hours. Pretty sure they would have a big NoNo on someone else weighing in your fish. Back in the Good Old Days, Don M would keep the store open for registration almost all night. But, alas, he is no longer there... :bl: (Hi Don :wiggle: )...

Luds, winning club is the total weight of the heaviest three bluefish and heaviest three bass weighed in for the TEAM. It is a combination of Bragging Rights AND you keep the Plaque for a year. Of Course, it also goes to support a worthy cause, annually raising more than $1000-1300 every year...

S-B a few years back: Krispy, Johnny Habs, me, & Tattoo

Um, don't you mean Krissy, or the hoser? :rotf3:

Count in myself, Clogston, and Canalman for s-b.

Not sure we can help with the bluefish effort much. Neither Josh or I have caught one all season.

How much we participate will more than likely be controlled by our other halves. :fishslap:

Great cause regardless.
