Fishing club

[briansnat]

Check out Meetup. com. It's a good place to set up a fishing club. There are only a few in the area. It can be limited to NJfishing members if that is what is wanted.

Here is one in the area that has a lot of members but doesn't seem very active. https://www.meetup.com/Central-NJ-Fishing-Group/

Brian- meet up seems ok- good place to plan- but still need a location. does any one live on a lake with a pavilion? I know Silas conduit park by me has one-walked/fished today..(if we go that route).we may want someone to run point/take charge...

OK, here we go. If you hold a tournament YOU are LIABLE. IF someone gets hurt or drowns, YOU are LIABLE. Trust me on this one as I sat on the Round Valley Trout Association Executive Board. The blood sucking lawyers would love to sue you and NJ Fishing dot com.
You mean a bass tournament like the ones in the spring where guys rip the spawning bass off the beds or like the ones in the summer where the guys release the bass at the dock on a hot summer day and they all float away ?
Tournaments and contests add undue stress to the fish for no reason at all. Added handling never helped a fish.
We had contests on here and it seemed guys were bickering in the end over a 1/2" on the tape measure. Ask Chrisper, I think there are at least a hundred on line tournaments going on at any given time.
Save yourself on this one.
What NJF.com does is hold M&G's. Simply put we all meet at a location, get to know one another and enjoy a day fishing. Meet and Greets offer help to those who need help either getting into a boat or just help catching fish. Very relaxed and easy going.
REMEMBER if YOU hold a CONTEST or TOURNAMENT YOU ARE LIABLE should something go wrong.

See I told you no goddamn tourneys!!!

[Predator]

JK. But seriously there is more to life then tournaments.

[NJSquatch]

bet the fish in NJ would love for us to create a social club...somehow i think there would be less fishing going on...HA....

I'm In!

[FASTEDDIE29]

Alright Predator buddy! I'm a contractor! I'll build us a shack in the woods somewhere or maybe a tree house! Start off with a M-N-G and see how it goes from there!

Yes, contests are fun on this site as long as there not too long and drawn out! It's no easy task listening to bickering and getting opinions from all walks of life. I love a good contest here and there! More interested in this club I must say!
See what ideas you come up with and feel free to share them here! You can call or text me anytime dude!!!

I'm sure all that is true, that's just a problem with the human race in general. humans suck, sorry. There actually is only one website that holds contests monthly, and i've looked. and the participation is terrible. A few buddies getting together, throwing in a few bucks to the longest fish takes it for the day sounds like a great time. don't even have to weigh it, snap a pick on a bumper board, longest fish wins. as far as the liability...it is what it is, humans suck like i said.

Screw lawyers, lets just do what we want. I got the first round, and don't really care if we even wet a line. Where and when?
