Fishing the 2008 Surf Club Challenge to Benefit the MS Society:

1) ME

John, they got a website set up for this....I might run it by the club Tuesday night and see if there is any interest.

I plan on fishing it. Starfish?

I will be someplace on cape cod, Look for some of my lures to float by :gu:

VB

I'm in. probably won't get down there for the cook out, but will fish sat night and try to make the breakfast.

Same dates as the third leg of the Tri-State which will be run out of Westerly. Can't even work them together because Tri-State is catch and release.

Just my luck, I dont belong to a club for 1, and for 2 I will be out of town those dates.
Sounds like it will be a lot of fun, and definitely for a good cause.

Tri State guys can weigh fish caught during Friday evening fishing after 6pm!!!!

John...I am fishign this one for MSBA but will be at the cookout

looks like i'm a definite MAYBE, for both~~

still gotts ta square the time with the bride,,,,,,,,,,,,

will let you know and THANKS, John, for the opportunity!!

this Tourney is a BLAST and the breakfast is even better.
loads of anglers, in a short stretch of The Striper Coast, and
usually stormy conditions,,,,,,,,,,,,,sounds like my kinda FUN!!

GOOD LUCK to ALL!

Nice Mike, you bring four 30 packs and I'll bring the shot gun shells :cheers2: SoCo is going to be pretty intersting this weekend.

Put me in as probable.

Hey John...It is looking like I will be bringing the camper and setting up either on RIMS property or at Ctown B-way and running BobBike's Jeep around the area.

Having the Camper and not hearing form Springtide (Where are you Mike?) I will volunteer to make and bring the super secret Narragansett version of the African Chicken Peanut Bean Soup/Stew. I got the bowls and spoons also.

We need to see some others step up and kick in for the cookout.
