Are You a Skillful Angler?
 

Doesn't anyone on this board catch any qualifying fish in N.J.? Check the 2018 entry board. There appears to be quite a few categories with not entries.

I usually enter a few but didnt get around to it. I understand you can submit fish digitally now and dont have to go through the hassle of printing and snail-mailing.

Re: Are You a Skillful Angler?
 

yes, and the people running it now actually care so hopefully participation keeps going up!

This is the link to the Skillful Angler Awards Program. Take notice of the Freshwater and Saltwater "Slams".

Mikey, Chris et.al. The "challenge is to see who gets the first "SLAM" for 2019! The "slam" species are right in your wheelhouse. Keep us posted.

This is a great program that highlights the quality of fish found in our waters. I'm on the board and have participated for many years. I do it for fun and I know it gets guys and gals out on the water.

If there was a category for tires I think I could win that one. :D

i've done the panfish and bass slams in prior years, unfortunately they never updated 2017 page, but it def is a fun way to challenge yourself! I'm a fan of the multi species challenge (getting 5 and 10 different species of qualifying size in one year) was able to get 10 in 2017 with a big early ice pickerel in december, but his past year i didn't even come close, only had 6 (spent too much time on those lakers without getting that 31" hahaha
