The second pic is now "official".

The third pic is that of the hood ornament I'll be installing on my ride. See y'all at the Captain's meeting

Yeah Larry, but it(the hood ornament)...... looks,..............so,.............small, like the fish you'll catch. ..........You could probably have that done relatively inexpensive though...W/O the winner's check!!! LOL

I will be there to make my annual donation. Dmac, I will gladly stand and support you in changing the inlet staging shotgun clusterfluke.

Thanks Mike, Offshore discussion right now is an overnighter on Jenny Lee Sept 10/11 - 11/12 with either allowing for a weather window so if that works we have to keep both sets of dates open till last minute.
See you somewhere SAT

Where is the reports

[DMac]

I approached the tournament director about the starting line up and he told me if you have issue with it wait until 630 to leave.

I am going to start a petition and need people who fished the tournament to actually get involved and sign it. I need to get at least 25-50% of the boats from this years tournament to sign petition saying that if it doesn't change we will not fish the tournament. Me approaching him at the captains meeting will not make a change if they realize that up to 50% of the boats will drop out for one year due to this rule they might make change. If someone is good with online petitions etc or we can set it up here if I get the ok from the mods. This is not about anything more than safety for crews involved in tournaments and for safety of other that have to navigate that waterway during line up time. Personally I feel the tournament directors should decide you can check out of any inlet (belmar, mana, or BI) starting at say 5am-6am

Also it was beautiful that the coast guard escorted boat out the inlet with less than 5 mins to go time. Coast gaurd should have told the gypsie blood that the dive trip can be delayed 15-20 mins until this empty's. this is exact reason this needs to be stopped. It is not if something bad is going to happen but when.


Oh yeah my report had boat limit by noon holding few fish in livewell and hoping to swap out with the one but never happen. had nice limit smallest fish being around 19-19.5" biggest 5.5lbs

I will agree, they should get rid of that shit all together.. they should have boat numbers like all of the big tournaments and let everyone leave their inlet at 6am but not fishing until 7 or something like that and call lines in.. no reason at all for that shit just like mako mania and mako fever, problem is, to many people trying to beat the system. lol
