Hi Capt Frank. The Striper Challenge and the Fluke Challenge will be held out of Bakers Marina in the Highlands.

The Kayak division will be ran by length NOT weight. (Rules are outlined on our website www.TripleChallenge.org) All kayakers will submit their fish via the tournament app using a tournament supplied measuring device, while in their kayak with their entry flag in the pic.
All items will be given out at the captains meeting the Thursday prior to the tournament.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.

A few questions on the Striper Challenge.

Saw it said this is a team tournament not a boat tournament and teams have UNLIMITED anglers but are limited to 6 lines in the water. Does this mean the 6 lines in the water could be on different boats?

Awards dinner at the Tiki Bar which Tiki bar and where are the weigh ins?

[Duffman]

Read thru the tourney rules but don’t see anything on the ladies and junior classes?

Might as well cancel the Mako tournament. Effective today Mako size just went to 83". How in the hell are you supposed to measure a live make that you think miiiight be somehwere in that size range? You know if its 2" short theyll be waiting to whack the hell out of you with fines. They have essentially made it no kill.

Does the new size requirement affect the commercial fishery as well or it is just for the recreational fishermen?

[Triple Challenge]

Guys thanks for the questions! This a team tourney but all team members must be on the same boat. We do have a strict 6 rods max in water rule, but this allows a group of say 6 guys to hire a charter boat, Captain and mate to fish the tournament's.

Ladies and JR divisions will be included with entry in the main tournament prizes will be awarded and they will be announced as we get closer to the tournaments. JR anglers must be 16 and under. Lady Anglers, well I'm sure we all get that one.

As far as the after party and awards presentation goes it will be held at the Seafarer Bar (at Bakers Marina) in the Highlands. Barkers is also the weigh station for both the Striper Challenge as well as the Fluke Challenge. The Shark Challenge is being held at Atlantic Highlands Municipal Harbor. The After Party and Awards will be held during Shark Fest after the tournament.

Guys Shark Challenge 9 on June 29th and 30th is a THRESHER Tournament! We will have a Mako Calcutta available it will also have a Blue Shark! As well as Thresher Calcuttas. But the $10k Guarantee is for the Heaviest THRESHER weighed in!
