Just read somewhere that they got fish at the west wall today so i guess its time to start the S-B Year Long Tourney!
Here's how it works.
First you have to have ten posts on this message board. You then catch a big fish. You measure it and if you can , weigh it. You must have the fish witnessed by another member of striped -bass. Its their job to verify the size. You can release or keep the fish). Send in a slip (they are available online) to John with the info about the fish and the fisherman and the witness and signed by both people. Then you are in. There is no entry fee and there are prizes awarded . The length of the fish determines the winners. In case of a tie for length , the greater weight wins. If length and weight tie , first fish entered wins using the date John gets the slip as the entry date. . So its good to get the weight and the length and get the slip in fast. We don't know what the prizes will be. However last year there were rods and plugs , etc for prizes. We'll let you know.
I will build another Canal jigging stick for the person who catches the largest fish in the canal this season like I did last year. This year it will be a brute. The Breakaway 1209. I'm sure there will be many other prizes.
Don't confuse this with the famous Striped- Bass Four Leg gourmet gatherings and fishing tourney experience!!
. That is Catch and release only. We'll get that going pretty soon. i just wanted to get the year long going just in case someone lands a fifty this weekend (OJ got aquitted so stranger things have happened) !!
This is a shore fishing thing. John said he wants to do something for the boat guys too so we'll have to figure that out and announce it later. Maybe two divisions.
