Question: Club competition for both boaters and surfcasters as one
group ?

If so, it may not matter where the bass were caught for the total point system. The club with the most boats will tally higher points then surfcasters but their expenses are higher.

Hope this all works for the better for whatever that may be.

Probably by an order of magnitude at least.

An interesting twist...divide the poundage in striper by the cost to catch

Years ago the commercial rod and reel guys would freeze the bass they caught a couple of days before the season opened and then hit the co-ops in P-Town and Chatham like gangbusters on opening day.

Uh, the real question here is, Mike, how do you know about all the "shady" ways to win? Come on Mikey, fess up. You seem to be in possesion of a lot of this type of knowledge.

What I like most about the discussion here is that most everyone actually read the rules before they expressed their opinion.

I wish I could say the same about some other websites

i could see OTW awarding club points for the weight pins, ie 1 point for a 30 lb. pin, 3 for a forty lb. pin and ten for a fifty. The downside is that this would encourage the killing of the trophy fish, the upside would be less pressure to bring in the 34 inch fish for the club total. Again, not perfect, but....
I am finding myself in the camp of Big Dave in regards to keeping fish. I have stated before that I feel the SB stock is in good shape. I also started a thread called A Different Point of view that was from the perspective of the commercial lobstermen and how the lack of food for SB has drastically affected their livelihood. http://www.striped-bass.com/Stripert...ght=point+view
