Anyone have the actual final score from this weekends MS surfclub
challenge? From what I have heard, ZERO striped bass (36" minimum requirement) were turned in, and the largest bluefish entered weighed 1.87 pounds.

Close to 80 anglers, fishing spots they know really well, for 2 days and nights in mid october, for a few bluefish smaller than bunker and mostly schoolies.

I take no pleasure in saying the results are not surprising, and I'm sure the reasons and theories will come pouring in... But before anyone blames the recent wind storm, lets remember that the most epic MS tournaments were usually during the nastiest weather.

I did not participate in the tournament, although I did fish that night in some of my best spots, and all I found were schoolies.
