Welcome aboard Fishsmith! Glad you like the site...
Our first Tournament? Well, last year we had our first two part tourney on S-B. Several shops including M&D's/capecodtackle.com in Wareham and Weekapaug B&T/weekapaug.com in Westerly RhoDylund donated rods & reels - very nice stuff too - for prizes in our C&R 4 Leg Tourney (Hab's where are Tony's plugs
). We did stops in June on the Cape, July in Rhody, and September on the Cape & October in Rhody where everyone got together, burnt some burgers and then went off in groups to catch & release fish. It was a lot of fun even though no state fishing records were threatened
. There was also a year long which could be C&R if you fished with another established forum member or a weigh in slip from a few supporting shops... One of the founding fathers of this site, Saltheart, went out of his way and donated a sweet Loomis Jigging Canal stick for the biggest Ditch Fish... Again - had a lot of fun and met some pretty cool people... Biggest fish for the C&R was 42.5 inches and the biggest year long entered was 32.5 pounds/45 inches - and trhese were all shore fish... This year I'd like to get a boat division as well...
This year we are going to do the 4 leg again and as a special bonus, a dozen of us have been invited by GB to fish Cuttyhunk for a weekend - WOOOHOOOOO!!! - Can't tell I'm excited by that, eh? But all of these Tourneys are really to get the people on the site together, have some fun, and to persue our common denomintator - FISH!
I'm sure we'll have some impromptu get-togethers before then too when we chase the first new arrivals of the year and the awesome annual bluefish invasion off the South Cape
