Just read the MV Derby committee disqualified two division leading participants due to their lack of having recreational fishing licenses...makes me wonder about the Striper Cup.

By the way, none of what I said is directed at Greg or TS. I know that Greg was contemplating throwing in with them over the off-season. It wasn't a case of him looking at the pack and deciding to help out one team over another. Just general principles.

Licensing? OTW is a coast-wide tournament. How could they ever check? The Derby, with one central weigh-in, can demand that a contestant show his/her license when weighing in a fish. OTW can't, and most weigh stations couldn't be bothered.

You simply provide proof of your license when you register for either tournament if your given state requires licensing. Not too difficult, IMO.

I assumed you had to show it for the Derby when you registered.

The problem with the Striper Cup is that a lot of people register early online or register at the winter shows. They may not have purchased the rec license by the time they sign up for it.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Then they should make people show a license when they weigh in a fish.

Nobody thinks less of the saltwater license b.s. than I do, but if I shell out 10 bucks for a license and another 45 for the striper cup registration, I demand the same from my fellow competitiors.

I just ain't gonna join next year. I am tired of tournaments. In fact the last Tournament really enjoyed was the Schaefer Tournament. When the hell was that, 1971?

What's to stop someone from making up a phony number if they register online? OTW isn't going to run a computer check even if they had the ability to do it.

Sure, but the problem is getting the weigh stations to take the time. I entered two fish in 5 years. One was weighed in at Mike's. The other? I practically had to beg the guy to even get his digital scale out from under the counter. I got a "I hope you're gonna buy something if I drop everything and do this for you".

Must have happened on the 18th.... Meeting to DSQ was on the 19th, and the Daily Winners' page from the 18th looks pretty sparse.... I have no beef with their ruling.

"If I'm a heavy hitter, I can sit on the sidelines, see how the standings shape up, and then offer my "services" to a team that wants to make a mid-tournament push on a team that's been together since the start.".

right, clearly no inference there......

I'm pretty sure it's not run separately, last I checked..,weekly, monthly, Angler of the Year(individual standings)and Team were all the same fish...

the team standings and the option to fish for a team just make it more interesting and probably increase participation....I don't think that there are gobs of money and prizes showered on the team that wins to entice those "heavy hitters" to spend their season caluclating which team to join and selling their services in order to stick it to another team...

Good lord - you guys really need to fish more.

I'm sure Myerson joined Team Striper for the same reason everyone else did (and the reason I lie every year and say I did) - he was just trying to shut up Everin and keep him from chewing on his leg when he gets hammered.

Go fishing - it's actually fun.

Michael Prevost With all due respect, if it's true that Greg Myerson was allowed to join Team Striper after not registering as a club member initially, your tournament has lost all credibility with a lot of anglers. The rule is pretty clear: Upon registration an angler must declare either a club affiliation or no affiliation. I see nothing that allows an "undeclared" angler to declare an affiliation with less than a month after the tournament.


The Striper Cup Hi Mike - Policy since year one has been to allow individuals to declare team affiliation at any point in the tournament, but only allow fish going forward to count toward team standings. We have had hundreds of anglers every year, on almost every team, who sign up first and then declare a team later in the season. Thanks for pointing out that we need to clarify that in our rules. Please contact bdean@onthewater.com if you have any questions or would like further explanation. Thanks


have you contacted them regarding all of your suggestions, opinions and ideas regarding improving the tournament?

I noticed that since the response prior to mine still has the name of the person I am not allowed to refer to. No problem Big Guy I'm used to it and don't want to get in the middle of whatever bunched your undergarment.

Ooops -- missed that one. But the WHY is not your concern.

Chris, you are starting to bunch my undergarments. Everyone has a problem, everyone is a cheat, and everyone is open for an attach, warranted or not. Oh, and of course you are overmoderated by the evil moderators.

While I prefer and encourage open speech and debate I don't have to put up with the constant drivel. If you don' like it, leave.

Now that you edited Saltheart I feel like I am being treated the same as everyone else.I do notice you still make stuff up about me again and that is too bad.Don't forget,you got on my case for bringing up**** but it wasn't me who brought him up.Just like last week when I got in trouble for mentioning **** throwing **** after Back Beach had made similar comments without issue.Now I know what is verboten and will happily comply.

The WHY you refer to is probably more common knowledge than you would think but I will respect your privacy in this matter.

Best thread in a while IMO.I like it,big hugs and tight lines.
