OTW Striper Ccup - should S-B field a Team?

[Skitterpop]

To be fair to other clubs just keep the teams for various states to a set limit equivalent to most independent clubs. I bet when push comes to shove you`ll be surprised to see the small amount who will enter as a S-B member.... No offense intended.

I can sign up as an individual or join some team...its still $25.00 because I`m a long time subscriber to OTW. I think,if I read the rules correctly, I have more chances to win individual prizes as a solo entrant....theoretically that is... I have to catch some big bass, kill them, and weigh them in either way.

The way I read it was that all prizes are awarded individually with 2 extra provisions for clubs.

1. the club that accrues the most points overall gets the "Striper Cup" for a year.
2. the club that accrues the most points in each state gets another trophy.

the club thing is if u belong toclubs like msba,beach buggies ass. plum island club ,cape salties atc .clubs that would be active in s- bass fishing .. like when the shaffer beer cup was fished for..indepentent or clubs doesnt matter,boat or shore, goin up take a chance even if u dont catch a thing your still in for the grand prize and party @ harp oons brewery boston ..one more thought the reason the derby ends sunday sept 17 is the party is in 2 weeks after..

I signed up for it all ready, and if s-b has a team it would be fun to be on a team.

But I don't like the idea of weighing in 2 34" fish each week unless there's a food bank or something set up that can use/take advantage of that much fish.

To be honest I think the boat guys, and especially the commercial boat guys have a huge advantage when it comes to weighing in 2 large fish each week. I don't think a surfguy weighing in a couple of 36" fish a week can really compete for the the individual overall standings so I was really planning to fish it more for the chance at a pin or a weekly prize.

I was talking with my dad last night about this and he fished the Schaeffer tournament and has some great memories and some pins from that, he was excited to see something like this coming back and he is is going to sign up to fish it too. Now I'll just have to get him a little more internet savy and get him to join S-B
