Nib, you need to tell us all how you really feel
I think everything was laid out ahead of time, so everyone plays by the same rules comm or rec. It doesn't matter whether you fish for fun or fish as a pro for money, ya still have as much right to enter this striper cup as the next guy.
Having said that I find a comparison to golf in this argument you guys are making. Ya don't see many golf tournaments that have both pros and amatuer golfers in the same tourney except pro-ams, and those have their own format. I know it's not comparing apples to oranges.
OK now having said that, I agree with nib
I guess it's the dog days of summer
I entered so I could have a chance at that boat too Slinah

shore fishing is getting limited these days for sure.
