I easily caught over 100 fish last year that were legal to keep. I kept maybe 6 of them. Your way off topic and shouldn't have posted this save the stripers in this thread. I know guys last year in your conservation group that caught alot less fish than I did and kept more of them. The thread wasn't labeled. How do you feel about fish or how do you feel about tourneys. Lets get it back on track. Do I know you? Come on dude

Again I will say that just because one person keeps many fish does not make it alright for everyone else to use that excuse. Last year of all the guys I fished with I saw a total of 4 fish kept. Were there more? Of course. Again I will not use that as an excuse to keep what I want

I was trying to be polite and keep this on track but just presenting my feelings. You don't have to agree but no need to hammer me either. To all of you that do participate...good luck and be safe

OK back to the topic here.

Team Striped-Bass

Is there a limit on club size?

How does the catch and release work towards the points?

Sorry I just havent had time to read thru all the On the water stuff.

Ive never done any tournament due to my lack of time for the designated spots, like the habs or korkers cup etc. My availibilty sucks due to work but seeing this is 5 months long and I fish alot just not on the weekends for the most part, seems like something worth trying out.

Ive meet some great people here and hoping to build stronger friendships with those people and fish some new spots and learn new some new techinques and what not.

Im a huge fan of this forum and its members, I dont post on everything I see and keep my opinions to myself for the most part, but I think this is a great way to make some new friends and just get out and fish.

Chris - no real limit on size. My impression I got talking to some OTW folks was that we were midsized in number of participants with one club having twice as many entered as S-B.

C&R does not count towards team standings. Wish it did but enforcement would be difficult at best.

thanks for clearing that up with,
DR, Boss! i was about to have to

break out the DAWWWWG on his,
"woe is me, the po,,,,,,,poe,,,,,,,,, PO

Strigh Ped bassies!! they cain't sustain themselves!!
you guys are ALLL evil, insensitive, kittyfishin', BASTAGES!!!"

MOST here are some of the MOST responsible and fishery aware surfcasters i've ever met. the boat guys are no dummies either. we actually realize the portent of our actions and respect the inherent values, financially and metaphysically, that are attached to our beloved species and are incumbent upon us to protect, enjoy, and leave as a thriving and viable legacy for the generations of anglers that will surely follow~~~

and they shall, on one dark and surf laden night enter in to the quintessential tie that has bound generations upon generations of New Englanders and "foreigners" alike,,,,,,,,the sweet sound of a screaming reel and the hard bend of a doubled rod as a new trophy swims for the deep beyond, to be kept or not to be kept,,,,,,,,,,,,,

it is for each "Striper Nobleman" to question. and we NEED to get back our BLING!!! besides,,,,,,,,,,,,Team Striper cannot 3peat, can they???

I enjoy fishing the tournament. Last year was the first year since it began that I got something worth weighing in. ( 1 fish weighed ever) I'm far from being a threat to the species at that rate.

I'm looking forward to getting out again with the added incentive of hopefully helping out the team. I enjoy fishing I always have. I'm a competitive person by nature so its nice to make a concerted effort to bring my A game.

Now if we could get Miller Lite as a sponsor I'd be Frank the tanking it by the time they announced the winners at the wrap up party

Good luck everyone, I hope everyone has a safe and productive season

Anyone get their official striper cup t-shirt yet. Hopefully it's bright red with a huge BUD KING OF BASS logo ala' an old Dale Jr. pit crew jersey. Something real classy ya' know. I would dig that.

I'm definitely in.

Then count me in. When I sign up I just register as a member of Team Striped-Bass.com?

Guys, move the fisheries management discussions into another thread please. We have and have had plenty opportunities to hash this out. Believe me, I'm all for reducing the pressure on the fish. This thread is for signing up for the cup.

As for Team S-B's participation in the Striper Cup, that is based on the numbers provided by ASMFC. If those numbers drop or tank I can assure you we'll take a hard look as to whether or not we participate.

DR - as or my years, I've had my best in a while season before last. Last year was mediocre. One cannot judge a season by a handful of locations. That's why the overall ASMFC numbers, as loosely consistent as they may be, are what we need to go by.
