FLW Saltwater Striper Trail

[Slinger]

Just because we only recently registered on this site is no reason to belittle our inteligence or opinions. Basser has valid points, if you want to help the bass and make it a gamefish there would be no better way than to have a mega corporate sponsor on our side. There are still far to many questions to be answered to form an objective opinion as of yet. Will they be catch and release? Will they limit the areas open to fish? What kind of officialing will be in place? And many more. While I`m not a fan of tournaments I don`t see this as having a disasterous effect on the fishing.

the dude (guy or gal) who coined the term "look for the hook"
(designed logo) should be flogged with wreckless abandon....

next the fish populations of largemouth bass ,walleye,redfish,and kingfish
need to be studied to see how these tournaments have affected
their over all health
....to see how hybrid striped bass would prosper in comparison to that information.

when they say: "in response to over whelming demand..."

what they're really saying is :
because of enormous profit potential!

and thats from Maine to Virginia ...not the reverse. morons

I think the striped bass hybrid is the most under utilized food fish
North America has ever seen and it should be introduced into more fresh water
lakes nationwide because of how prolific it is... IMO

and agreeing with Pete...it's all about boats...advertising boats-->
commercials for boats...seeing their boats catching fish in the north east
instead of only down south is their goal....

as stated :hydra sports ,well craft, and sea swirl boat owners will have priority entry...
thats a major unfair manuever right off the bat... and geared specifically towards generating new sales..

those sponsers will be donating one or more of their boats for the winner to further
their own advertising campaigns and then write them off later on.

it's also about walmart preparing to to battle with bass pro and cabelas move's on the chessboard.
