The winning club last year was Bass & Brew out of (I think?) Fairhaven. Mostly commercial boaters, although they still weighed in fish before and after commercial season. I'm pretty sure one member entered 4-5 of their top fish. He was the Angler of the Year for 2006. They had close to a 48 lb average. Our average, right now, with the shore bonus, is between 47-48 lbs.
The shore bonus and the rule that only a member's top 2 fish count towards points, will put us in very good shape. To top a shore 40, you need a 53 lb boat.
I won't say we're going to win, but last year, I think the top 5 clubs got plaques at the awards ceremony. Unless the sky falls in on us, I say we're a lock for the top 5.
