Fishing club

[AndyS]

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.

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!!!

Start by coming out to the meet and greets! Pike, Hybrid, Trout, Salmon, Ice meet and greets, etc., they are all a good time and an opportunity to meet the faces behind the screenname. Every NJF meet and greet I've attended has been filled with laughs, home-cooked food, a couple drinks, lots of advice/info sharing, and even managing some fish (except Monks Ice meet and greet ).

I've got to say, last fall's Hybrid meet and greet was probably the best. Lots of familiar faces as well as some new ones. Lots of guys scouting the big lake until we found the fish. A couple phone calls later, everyone was congregated around the same area and everyone caught fish.

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?
