Put the onus on the weigh station to account for each one of their numbered slips that are issued. When the tourney ends, OTW could call that shop and say, "what happened to slips 22-30?,they weren't returned to us but you used them." This wouldn't add any additional hassle, because the slips need to be returned anyways. They would just be numbered and accounted for.

There are ways around everything..
If a shop was sponsering so to say,a team..
They could just write the weights down an tally em up at the end of the week.Sign a blank slip..to be filled out later.??
The only way to really assure is to have the slips be post marked 24 hrs after being weighed..That would have to be the entrants responsibility..
Of course on weekends that might be a problem..

In the Feb 07 OTW magazine, there is an ad for Striper Cup 2007. Notable statements on this ad include;

1. "This years tournament will feature a new surf-casters division!"

2. "NEW FOR 07: Catch & Release Option"

Of course, more details to follow but this sounds promising.

Oooo - Catch & release option? Wonder how that will work out.

I know I must split with many of my brothas (and probably piss a few off) but I think commercial season should somehow disabled for commercial license holders. Some say that there is no motivation or advantage - other than skill - but that is just not true. I'm perfectly fine with getting my ass handed to me by a superior commercial angler based on skill. The whole numerical advantage in how many bass a comm angler can posess during the same amount of time is tremendous....

Kudos for a surf division

I can't worry about those who WILL cheat! I just take care of my own and they are the ones who have to live with themselves! Someone got caught with their hand in the cookie jar last yar as I recall! See ya!

No pride or self respect in cheating!

Is anyone surprised that was a single club or an entrant from NY?Considering that the clubs as far as southern NJ participated ,its kind of odd.You cant say people in NY don't read OTW as everyone I know is a reader if not subscribers (granted ,I move in surf and not boat circles)

[CowHunter]

Funny how many guys are complaining about the Commercial Guys. I dont see what the big deal is, theyve only got a 5 week season?? 4 days a week and most don't bother fishing Sundays... Theres the whole month of May, June, Half of July, Half of August, September, and October where guys can way in one fish a week... Ill have to start my own club for this tournament!

I did have a few clients of mine that were fishing this tournament this past year, I know one of them one biggest fish in August w/ a 50.6lbs, Came down to the last two for the truck key! Some nice fish were wieghed in off my boat in the adult a junior divisions.....I Never entered.

I didn't think those dudes could read..



So what R u saying.
Why didn't they enter..
Them LI surf contest's get plenty of play..

Catch an Release is a joke in a tourney worth anything..
Nice concept but fisherman are liars to begin with.
Giving out prizes for fish tales won't cut it in NIB's world..
