Please read tournament format changed
 

We are unable to secure a letter from the DNR in time for the tournament next weekend authorizing us to include rockfish in the format. Therefore rockfish cannot be used for a prize category. It can though still give you bragging rights to be the king af CBA.
I am in the process of securing door prizes and possible other categories we can include in this competition. Saying that I hope everyone can still contribute the entry fee so my out of pocket expenses are not that great. Should be able to secure nice gifts and I can provide receipts showing what was spent. Any money left over can go towards boat name in the hat drawing.
Sorry for the incoveinance this has caused, but really this competition was more of a way to get everyone together before winter sets in.
Again I apologize and I hope everyone can and will participate. Everything else will remain the same!

Thanks Mike. I'm still in and I would expect everyone else is as well. This was only really ever about getting together and having a good time.
If this turns out to be a good day, maybe we can apply to DNR for a rockfish tournament next year.
With only 11 or 12 boats entered, that's not enough for Jim (BOE) to get adequate advertisement. I'm sure he would sponsor us next year with enough time to get additional boats.

Thanks for the initial idea, it will still be a great day among friends and a chance to meet a few new members as well.

Thanks for putting this all together. Cash prize would have been nice, but it was really about getting together and having a good time. So if it's only about bragging and giving the other guys a hard time, I am good with that. Count me in.

I'm still in... Maybe smallest fish cooks the burgers and hot dogs.

Jeff, how are your grilling skills?????:D

We're still in with the new format. Should be a good time regardless.

I believe I have permission to run a tournament from DNR for the last Saturday of the open season. I know I filed for 2 dates since they implemented their rules of applying by Feb. I didnt do anything with them though. Let me double check.

Dear Raggedy- it doesn't matter 'cause I am OUT!! I don't like anyone on this board enough to hang out for free (including Mrs Chessie27!!). :eek: If there is no pay day, how can I pay for the fuel to run to the Jersey shore to catch the winning fish??? :p JUST KIDDING!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU GUYS, we are in!! OXOXOX

And when we win, I plan on bragging REALLY Loudly!! :D

Well, up yours, we only put up with you because of your wonderful wife......ooops sorry, just read the second half of your post:D

Jeff, remember, you can overnight at the marina. But then that would take you farther away from the C&D canal and up the Jersey coast:eek:

Looks like the biggest slug of fish is off Beach Haven New Jersey. I guess water temps aren't moving them south very quickly. Looks like another year of fishing for resident fish off Point Lookout for us.
