NJ Fishing.Com Striper Tournament?

[Capt Sal]

Jerry,
What do you say? It would work and the media would be behind us. I would do it in early June so everyone has a chance not just Raritan Bay. Cape May to Sandy Hook with multiple weigh stations. Tournament coordinator suggestions would be Joey Da Fish and Shrimpman. Hoping shrimpman does not fish that day and totally shut down the bite lol With the tackle sponsors and for hire boats on this site the meeting and door prizes would be a big plus.
Al Ristori of the Star Ledger and John Oswald of the Asbury Park Press would be behind us as well as all of the sponsors we for hire capts. have. From Percy nets to Tony Maja products the list goes on. I think it is doable and it is time. What do the rest of the you distinguished members of this site think?

I'm in. Private boat + head boat. Maybe we can get a head boat sponsor to hook up those without a ride. Probably have to do this on a week-day - that would work for most

Great idea Capt.Sal. Im in! Lets get it going!

Sounds like a grand plan and I elect Sal to run it

All kidding aside, if you've ever run a tournament like I have, you know what's involved.... Insurance, coordination, money, arguments, etc... It all sounds like and starts out as a fun idea and unfortunately it turns into a job full of twist and turns and head aches. I'd much rather participate in or sponsor a tournament then run one.

Having said that, I'm a sucker for a good cause and if we could all agree on one that we'd donate all the proceeds to and rally behind, I would certainly consider working with you all to pull it off.. That's the only thing that would make the effort worthwhile to me.

[Joey Dah Fish]

I would certainly help any place I'm needed.

I have been involved in organizing striper tournaments before. Lot of work and yes arguments. Small committee and they make the rules with no outside votes. Proceeds to take our wounded veterans fishing.
