Ok, as just about everyone knows, next weekend is the Mass Striped Bass Assoc Charity Tournament benefiting the Shriners Children's Hospital - these are the people that do so much for Children's causes. This is a boat and shore Tourney for combined Bass and Blues with TONS of prizes. The details can be found here:

I'm planning to fish with Schoolie Monster (dude - how you feeling?) in this weekend long tourney but excluding myself and current officers of the MSBA, any member from this site that participates in the Tourney and places in the top 3, I'll throw in extra plugs & lures from this site's stash
. If the winner is a member of this site, a New Okuma Spinning Reel will be thier prize. So, what are the odds of winning? Well, 2 years of this tourney were won by a friend of BMs with fish caught from the beach, so the shore guy has a chance. Last year, Fisherwoman won from boat, and just missed winning an inflatable boat by a few ounces. Bass master (the boater, not the plugger
) won a couple years ago if I remember correctly (I might be wrong but what the hey
) - I would even be willing to have members vote a side pool for the highest placing S-B member....
There is still a lot of open spaces for this tournament and the cause is just too good to pass up. It's not limited to MSBA members but open to all boat & shore fishing Mass Waters... A couple of our sponsors are weigh in stations like M&D's in Wareham and Ron's Sportsman's Den in Quincy. There are other shops from Cape Cod to Cape Anne that are participating. So I want to get everyone interested to sign up and join this tournament and the cause it serves
Anyone have any questions ?
