It will be competitive...as it should be.

cheferson · 03-27-2006, 05:49 PM

Whats the rules?????

BigFish · 03-27-2006, 05:55 PM

Rules and info can be found on the OTW website.....I am wondering why the contest is ending on September 17th????? Best fishing of the season is after that??????

tattoobob · 03-27-2006, 06:01 PM

I just said the same thing to my wife, I think it should end at the end of November. It looks like a very fairly run contest.

BigFish · 03-27-2006, 06:02 PM

Yes it does....should be interesting! Whats up with the closing date though????

My guess is that most boats are taken out of the water by then with little consideration for the surf rats that are there til Oct/Nov.

BigFish · 03-27-2006, 06:03 PM

Problem is the surfrats stand a good chance of catching a cow after the closing date!

Was wondering what they were thinking also. As if shore fishing for cows wasn't hard enough, they cut-off our best time frame.

I'm wondering where the weigh stations will be? More importantly, is striped-bass.com considered a club for this tourney?

ThrowingTimber · 03-27-2006, 06:17 PM

I should have asked an OTW rep at the show, but how does a club go about signing up? I still haven't seen anything on the OTW site about it. I did pick up the flyer at the show. I thought it would have more info on the club side of it. As one who was not fishing during the Schaefer tourney, I am very interested in this.

I agree that the time frame is out of whack. I would venture to guess that there were more boat guys on the planning committee than surf guys....

$25 for club members and subscribers to OTW. You need to declare if your fishing for a club at time of application. Like most I not crazy about the time frame. Looks like us surf guys will have to score big and go large in June and July. On a good note those have been my best months with October and November not far behind.

NIB · 03-27-2006, 08:17 PM

Great concept tough to compete with boat guys.
Weekly surf prizes of rod an reel combo's to largest surf bass.i think all other entries are boat or surf.Do i really need another rod an reel combo?Will I be able to convince say 30 of our 150 members to pay 25 dollars each to join?Here's what i'll happen i will join for a few yrs.Maybe win a penn slammer an gti combo.an then the next yr.I say screw it.Then I will get a bass that would win it all outright.

cheferson · 03-28-2006, 07:36 AM

I think there are seperate boat and shore divisions, remember seeing something....

Two fish a week would be a ton of fish for my family. The CTDEP advises that women who are pregnant or want to become pregnant should not eat any striped bass. Everybody else should have no more than one meal every two months. Thats only six meals a year. I would have to find a soup kitchen or something to "dispose" of all those pounds of fish. Too bad it can't be some kind of catch and release. I too have not kept a bass in the last several years.
