I think a John Haberek Memorial Striped Bass Derby/Tourney would be excellent, D. Maybe a small entry fee with the proceeds to go to a charity John would have liked and incorporate a picnic or cookout - we could certainly do that at Brenton State Park. Maybe have the Club host it and award a perpetual trophy to the winner(s) or something.

The memorial plaque or stone at BPSP could come at a later point if that's something the family would like and that would take a while to coordinate properly anyway.

I'm sure we'd have plenty of hands from S-B and the NCSWFC to handle the chores on a tourney and make this one the first annual. The get-together alone would be a hoot!

What do you think guys?

Could be do-able even if only on a small scale for the first one.

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
