again.... ya KNOW the rules when u sign up..... Rain or Shine...... don't like it, stay home.... Most tourneys are fund raisers for some club or good cause.... feel good about your donation and fish where you can if your in it.... I personally will always have alternate places to drag bait or bounce tails.... if one thing, area or technique is all you know then your at a disadvantage before you leave the dock.....

Never said an alternate date would be the end all answer but it would certainly add an option which currently doesn't exist. Maybe an alternate date doesn't pan out but then again maybe the untold number of anglers who signed up and didn't have a chance to fish could have if the event was rescheduled to next week. Also I never said the rules don't clearly state the tournaments position on this so once again you state the obvious.
You sail out of the Highlands area, Staten Island, Newark Bay somewhere in that area and as a result you and anyone else who sail from that area have the benefit of fishing the ocean or ducking back into the bay if need be. Ocean ports don't have the same benefit of such a wide body of water which is why you can see the results drop off so precipitously in Belmar, Pt Pleasant and other ocean based ports. Belmar down to Cape May had severe conditions and are more exposed to a NE than the Sandy Hook area. I'm making a suggestion which I believe would greatly benefit the tournament and all entrants which is the same reason I believe Sharkispsy started this thread. You on the other hand and as always choose to post your sarcastic bs and use the thread as a platform to beat your chest about your fishing abilities. No body really gives a shit about how many spots you have or how many fluke you put in the boat because at the end of the day you're just a sarcastic self-righteous lost soul. If you don't have anything constructive to contribute to the thread, refrain from posting anything or maybe you can grace the site with your thoughts about Paul Haertel's recommended changes to the tournament so we can provide him with some feedback to his earlier post and maybe make some positive changes to the tournament for '15 which I believe will benefit all anglers as well as the JCAA.
OR you can simply choose to continue telling the entire board how great a fisherman you are which as I said before no one really cares.....your choice.
