Seems like it will take alot of decisions to which fish should be entered, if 10 fish get weighed in fairly early in the tourney, then that lessons the chance for the club to win I'd say, so maybe the club will have to figure out how to keep track of club entered fish possible by updating there website or something, I see problems there.
Maybe I'll join just to go to the party afterwards  |
Slip,I think it's the combined weight of the top 10 fish.If that's the case,you have as good a chance as anyone else.Also you would have the ability to stay current with the smallest of the 10 to aid in your decision of whether to keep the fish in question. |

I was checkin out the old trophy at the mass show.the numbers on there where way up there for ten fish. 547 comes to mind there was a 600 number if I remember right.
Slips a great fisherman.As a club of one he might not win.From the surf last yr i would guess the top ten for our club was low 400's.Thats not alot I so i hope my point doesn't come across in "typical" NJ fashion.From a boat it'll take over 500 to win.What do u think it'll take from the surf to win.2 yrs ago in NJ i had 160 lbs for 5 fish.I also had a 36 in the canal that would have added 8 lbs to that total.5 40's would be 200 lbs.I would tip my hat to that. |

I think there would have to be a lot of good fortune to average over 40# for the top 10 from surf.From a boat,it's a different story and could conceivably happen in one night.With the captain handing out cows to clubmates to get weighed in.I'll be happy to qualify for a pin with the tournament ending so early.That's fishing,you never know.

I'm learning a hell of a lot here, there's a ton of fine and very fine points that I would never have considered. I've never entered a striper derby, so I'm totally lost,  but I'm catching on . Thanks. |

John, obviously in a free and open envoronment such as this there will always those who know better, think they know better or think your not so smart as they. In that event, knowing the REAL truth on this and that unlike like Mr. SEA dANGLES and others who are purely speculating and using annecdotal info to post thier "personal" impressions on what OTW thinks or does not think constitutes a "club", in this the 21st century, the year of our Lord 2006 as opposed to 1949 and with the advent of the technological breakthroughs that have made this site a reality, OTW does in fact regognize Striped-Bass.com as a "club" and it has been stated to me personally by the management there and when I was signing on to the contest was asked point blank "why aren't you and the S-B.COM gang signing on as a club"? You have a regitered membership, you have events (TCTFF and Plugfest).
So there it is to all the know it alls, pundits and gurus. Yes you can enter as club according to OTW.
Now John, if you decide the effort and aggravation and BS is not worth it I understand and you are always welcome to join as an individual and come up to the Cape and fish with me, BigFish, Stiffy and a couple others anytime.
That is all, fire at will.  |
Why even try.........

Thanks for some clarification  . I have an email that I'm going to get out to CM probably tomorrow to answer a couple fundamental questions (not a nastygram  ). As for whether S-B fields, that's up to the members (pretty evenly split so far)
