rules currently state no commitee boat , lines in on honor system 630Am , hope it satys as such as to have to run up there from down south in the AM just to "Badge In " would suck.

already have to make the run up for the weigh in which is already over an extra 100 bucks in gas

The tournament commitee does not run a Calcutta but I would bet you there will be a private individual who will and you will need to be at the captain's meeting to get with that individual

[Gerry Zagorski]

As of today we have 28 boats pre registered so a good sign. The reason I say that is most people wait to see what the weather is before signing up, so most of the registrations come in at the Captain's meeting. Hoping for at least 100 boats...

For those of you who plan to register at the Captains meeting, we would appreciate if you would print and fill out the forms before the Captain's meeting to make the registration go faster http://www.njfishing.com/fluketourna...onAndRules.pdf

For those of you not into computers, the forms will also be available for you to fill out at the Captains meeting.

Hot dogs and soft drinks will be served, scale was just certified and as you will see above, we've got some great door prizes too!!

Looking forward to seeing you all and for those of you I haven't met, please make sure to introduce yourself.

Good fishing!!

I hear you Hammer the price of fuel is stopping us from fishing some tourneys we have fished in the past due to a long run.

Rat - the start time is 6:30 lines in the water on the honor system. As Hammer mentioned above their is no committee boat so no starting line. You start wherever you like but you can not put your lines in the water until 6:30.

according to the site Gerry embedded on the first post in this thread, the BAY forecast will NOT be small crafts; it takes a LOT to get THAT forecast to small crafts.

BUT with that said, I'm guessing (read that word slowly) the COMMITTEE will take into consideration that SOME participants will fish the ocean and others will be sailing out of Belmar and Manasquan thus coming up to Leonardo to weigh in after getting their heads handed to them fishing in the ocean all day isn't a happy thought.

Bergen County Fisherman's Club Tournament is ON for Saturday. Their stance is 'Fish the bay'!

Isn't it funny how your mind will play tricks on you? When you look at Wind Guru and see 7's for Saturday the 6's-5's &4's don't seem as bad, for Sunday. Like, "yea, sure we can fish that." Oh well we will see, I'm sure Gerry * the Leonardo boys don't want to put any of us in danger, 'cause some of us don't have enuff sense to come in out of the rain!

Right Mike, although the rules states NY Harbor forecast and there is currently not a small warnings forecast up there, the Sandy Hook to Manasquan inlet forecast definately needs to be taken into consideration for the judement call for two reasons. One, like you said we have a lot of boats that will be fishing from Manasquan and Shark River inlets. Two, and not to burn any spots , most serious Fluke fisherman are going to want to fish the ocean, not the bay this time of year.

Hope to have a firm decision from the commitee earlier then 4PM today on this to give everyone as much advanced notice as possible. So, please stay tuned to the post at the top of this thread.

Gerry -- will you also let us know if the Capt's meeting is still a go?

Thanks,
