Greetings from The Hartford Surf Fishing Club! I saw you guys listed on the RIMS(Rhode Island Mobile Sportfishermen) site as previous winners of the tourney and thought I'd look you up. Nice site! Nice to hear some other folks getting excited about the contest. I look forward to these things each year as just another great way to enjoy the sport( and a good reason to go fishing that the missus can't argue with to much! ). As for your earlier discussion about being a real club, I think as long as they get a check they're cool with it. It's a pretty informal affair and its really about the comraderie and spirit of friendly competition kind of thing. Looks like the weather might be a bit iffy, strong south winds and 4-7 ft seas, but there's enough territory that everyone should be able to find a rock to hide behind or a back pond thats fishable. Tides are late on sat. night too so breachways won't be good till after midnight. Watch Hill is closer to me but the Pt. Judith area has more/better access so I'm thinking of starting in that area. Good Luck and hopefully I'll get a chance to meet a few of you. Steve Higgins, Hartford Surf
