Thumbs up 4 Leg Tourneys! NEED DATES!

We gotta start thinking dates for the 4 Leg Tourneys....! Suggestions for June / July RI & Cape please...

For those that are new, every year we have a Catch & Release tourney for prizes. In June and/or July, we'll meet at one place and bar-b-q then fish, once in RI and once near the Cape in Mass, and we'll do it all over in Sept / Oct - hence the 4 leg...

It's free but you need to be a member in good standing and fish with other members... I'll have more details soon ...

seeing all the things that we had to rearrange around last year maybe we should try and keep the same weekends as we did last year. hopefully we won't have any conflicts this year.

Honestly June is an excellent month for the Cape. Maybe we can do May for RI.

OK - can we do two weekends back to back or is that going to kill people? Tides are good June 14 in Rhody (but it is a full moon ) and some of you like the 21st... I don't want to push Rhody into July, if we need to push them apart I'd rather have the Cape in July and not sacrifice Rhode Island like in previous years... The weekend of June 28 is out because of the MSBA Boat & Shore Tourney....

John lets not do back to backs. Also if we try to make everyones schedule fit, we will be lucky to get one leg. Lets set all four dates now, that way if you can't make the first one, you plan on one of the others. We can do cape late sept early oct. Let's just pick one weekend in each month, (June, July, Sept, October) and say Cape or RI. Also remember Cttyhnk.

John, just pick the dates yourself now and fit them around you're schedule and what you think the best weekends will work for where.
I think somewhere around late May early June for RI and June to July for Mass. Then late Sept for Mass(or Cuttyhunk ) and Oct for RI.

Let's do the 1st RI leg on the rock

Back to back is a bad idea. You will get people one week or the other , not for both.

That's why I'm asking

The only Tourneys that I can't try to conflict with is the MSBA Boat & Shore Tourney - not because I'll be fishing it (I am hoping to though) - and any potential Cutty trip. June 21 seems great for the Cape and I'll be at Edaville that Saturday morning anyway .

I really wanted to have the Rhody leg before the Mass Leg. I also really want the best weekends FISHING WISE. The problem is that other good tides happen on the Weekends of Memorial Day - New Moon - and the EARLIEST time to do it in Rhody (still conflicts with Tri-State but not a deal breaker) and 4th of July weekend - Full Moon - that's the other scheduling problem... This is also why I'm looking for suggestions...

Saturday June 21 is also great for Rhody and can be done with Saturday July 11th good on the Cape and in other parts of Mass.

As for the fall legs, we'll need to work something out as Specialist had a great idea that some of us will get rooms for the whole weekend and have the families down... But I do need to get the early summer dates down really soon....

Thanks! Oh yeh, I'll have more details on the Tourney as soon as I can type something out

There are your dates John. June 21 for Rhody, July 11 for the Cape. Lock the thread, start a new one with the official dates, before we get some about them. Then people can make plans accordingly.

June 21 for the cape sounds good to me. It is a no fish day for Fluking so I can go. No one ever answered if it is a boat or shore deal or both??

Ah - very cool! I vote for Rhody leg that last weekend of May, Saturday May 31 (sorry Tri-Staters), and the Cape Leg to be June 21! More details will follow in the next couple days.

This is a shore only fishing Tourney for S-B members only (boat guys need to get their feet dirty ). Each meet is a leg, there are 4 total (well, there is a fith seim-official leg). First we burn perfectly good food and eat, then we go off in smaller groups and fish... All fish must be caught, measured by another member, and then released alive. Fish over 36 inches count towards the top 3 spots for the end of the year...

- Gonna be another cool year!
