[QUOTE=Mike P;433565]Give shore anglers a realistic shot at the grand prize by having 2 monthly winners--one boat, one shore. It only means 10 people drawing for the truck instead of 5. I think that one's a no-brainer.

Good suggestion. No reason not to do it. The MV derby does it this way too, only they do an overall and not a monthly. The derby is also shorter in duration than the striper cup, but good principle. Only potential problem would be boat fish getting weighed in as surf fish.

I am against excluding the commercials.Almost every club has them, and the advantage is negligible IMO in terms of the club competition. Plus, the commercial seasons in Mass and RI are completely different and would be a logistical nightmare to track and enforce it all.

	It's not the bait At the end of your line It's the fishing hole Where all the fish is blind
