OK Guys – Here is the drill for PUOSU on Sunday 12/8 on the Ocean Explorer in Belmar.

Boarding time is 6:30 and the boat leaves at 7:00… You can put your stuff on the boat when the Captain Bobby arrives but at 6:30 we will ask everyone to get off the boat with their poles and will reboard in order. If you miss the boarding call then you go to the back of the boarding order… If you miss the boat, well, you missed the boat and no refunds will be issued.

When your name is called you can re board and set up any place you’d like. As you board you will be given a tag for your heaviest fish which you will give to the weigh in team at the end of the trip.

You can only weigh in 1 fish of your choice and it must be a fish that you personally caught. For this reason each person must have their own bucket or cooler for their fish so no comingling fish. The fish must also be a minimum of 15 inches. All judges’ decisions are final.


Bring and use whatever bait you'd like. Green and Whitelegger Crabs will be provided.

The top 20 heaviest fish will be granted a spot on the Mimi the following Sunday to compete for the PUOSU crown. If for some reason there are not enough keeper fish caught to fill out 20 spots, the remaining spots will be filled in order of the original boarding list.

My suggestion is as long as you have a keeper, you should give it to the weigh team since some people who qualify with a heavier fish may not be able to make the Mimi trip and you could sneak in.
