Seems to me most here are losing track of the fact that this is not a "Surf only" Tournement...It has nothing to do with "dont stand a chance" it always was a boat and surf tourney. In my opinion comm. or not, you still have to catch the big fish and those guys are. Did anyone think that none of these clubs had boat fisherman?

"here is no way a surfcaster taking two fish can compete against a serious comm fishermen with bait in a boat taking 30. end of story. You're burnt toast. IMO this contest should not allow comm fishermen to compete OR should have a separate catagory just for fisherment with comm lic's (whether you use it or not)"


Again its both boat and shore, which ever club wins...I say congrats...being a comm. does not gurantee a take of large.

Be happy with good personall results, with the amount of fisherman in this tourney, thats all you can hope for....or if its "surf" you want start looking at the surf only catagorys etc....and isnt SB for both shore and boat guys?? or is SB only competing on a shore level??

Didnt goose get a nice bass from a boat? and weigh it in for SB?

comms, still have to fish like anyone else, I am sure there is a fair share of holding fish for another week in the surf also.....

Just holding a lic, doesnt make you a better fisherman, jezzz half of MA holds a lic... I see nothing wrong with them weighing in there big fish if it was caught legally, even if they fished there "off" days whats the diff?? they still know where the fish are ?


Guy caught a nice fish but he is a comm, "no good"!

Guy catches alot of fish..."he is cheating"

Guy weighs in a 40 two weeks in a row..."must have bought them"

Nothing would make anyone happy with this tourney......A nice fish is a nice fish regardless a hook and a line caught it the fish doesnt care who is on the other end or wht type of lic. he holds.......


In my club "RISAA" The boat guys destroyed me and Steve ......we could care less....these guys dont have comm lic. however they catch the same amount of bass as any comm and basically have 20 to 30 fish nights and release most fish but keep there large, whats the diff?
