Here's a novel idea....Read ALL the rules...... if you agree to them then by all means enter the tourney and enjoy the hell out of it.........and don't biatch about how its run because by sending in your entry fee you agreed to abide by THEIR RULES.
If you don't agree with them then fold up the bills, stuff them back in your wallet and don't enter........and don't biatch about how its run....because by Not sending in the entry fee it means absolutely nothing to you on how its run.
it really is that simple.....enter or don't....your choice. ....  |

You're right Chris, but they did address the issue fairly, IMO.
If they lower the ratio to 1.15 its still fair. Any lower and the boaters have the advantage. Schaeffer was 1.15 and the contest went for many years and was always competitive. |

You're kidding, right chris.
we weren't the only team that year that was dominated by surf caught fish. every team in the top 5 I believe were surf oriented teams
I agree, boat dominated teams had no shot that year....but to say that WE won specifically because of the handicap rule is wrong.......If I remember correctly....NIB'S jersey suf team and us went down to the last week |

Same here. I don't think that killing the stocks of a species that was almost wiped out once and may be on the brink agian is worth competing over.

Right now I'm not going to participate but I might change my mind . I would love to win a VanStaal because I don't know how long they will have those as a monthly surf prize but I think I'll just take pictures and release everything and be satisfied with the many VanStaals I already own.

I could use a new Van Staal.

Bill are you talking about yourself or the Striper Cup? There were a bunch of really large fish, 50 plus lbs., caught in the boat division last year. Not by our group but by some of the others. |

You do not have to be attached to a team to fish. you can go in as a solo angler if you want. |

Steve,
Fishing with JoeP (who carries a camera and scale) is trending me in that direction... keep a few gut hooked etc.. for the table and release as many as possible.... |

Me, I was following you around. Those large were early season fish right part of the same push that had the 75 and 70+ out of Jude?
Can't say that there were a lot of large during commercial, most of the Westport fleet struggled off of Nomans through the end of the season. |

Bryan, I think that is the best way to do it. I'm getting to old to lug dead, big fish a mile just to get a little bit of glory which is fading at best. I'll never win the cup because I can't stay with it nightly anymore like I used to . So why kill 30 lb. fish?????? I'll bring my camara and a scale. I released a few good ones last season and it felt good. |

My sentiments exactly. Although I had fun competing for a few years, it really comes down to the guys that can stick with it daily/nightly who have the upper hand. It actually gets more stressful for me as I feel like there's a need to produce big every time out. Reality is I can't do it at that level for more than a few nights at a time, so its gonna be a fun thing this year. I'm planning on getting my oldest son into it this summer too. |

oh really, it's about rules???
WOW, TDF, you are brilliant.
can't a guy talk about the esoterics of a question without
being accused of snivelling?? i have absolutely ZERO problems
with the RULES,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,i compete each year, i killed only one striper
for the entire tourney, and i LOVE the challenge for The Cup.
my point was merely from an "it would be interesting if,,,,,,,,,,,",
and "since they do not why couldn't we, IFFF we wanted/agreed/thought it was necessary to
configure our TEAMS that weigh, SIMPLY for the chits and giggles of it. you know to add our own wrinkle to the contest~~~~~~IIIIFFFF, we so desired.
to each his own, and i will be IN!!
tons of fun and the party at the brewery ain't too bad either.
good luck to ALL ~teams, individuals, surf, boat~ it's ALL fishin'!

Before I have a serenity now moment....do you happen to read your PM's???
Just curious pretty sure I sent you one last night saying that I wasn't aiming the response at you, it just happened to follow your last response.....it was just a general response because the striper cup gets beaten up every year.....like clockwork.

I think you are entitled to whine even if you enter. I also condone complaits of elected officials regardless of whether or not you vote.Cripes,you can even second guess Belichick.Just bring back the yoyo and we'll call it even.
