Saturday is still good

I appreciate your input.

The first priority is safety - as in 2018 the Hi-Mar Striper Club cancelled its fall tournament twice. This is very, very rare.

That being said we have a 70NM radius limit to the northeast (along Long Island and down south to around Absecon Inlet).

Everyone can fish where they want (abiding by the 3NM limit in state waters law). There are many back bays, rivers and protected areas to fish for striped bass. This is also a 40-Hour tournament - so if Friday night is not good for you then I suggest fish on Saturday morning.

The Tournament runs up until Gale Warning (using the Sandy Hook to Fire Island NOAA Marine Forecast).

The forecast for Friday night through Sunday afternoon looks good.


I hope that helps...
