Emergency Weather Postponement. 
Fishing will Start Saturday Nov, 14th at 4 am and continue to Sunday Nov. 15th at 1 pm.  I've been watching every weather report and Friday does seem like impossible fishing.  In the interest of safety and sanity something has to be done.  The weather looks great on Sunday and fishable starting Saturday.  So I am going to just move everything back a day. 

You can check in Friday and get as early a start as you wish on Saturday morning.  I will be accepting entries and check-ins all day Friday until 8pm. I will open the shop for Saturday check=ins and late entries at 4 am.  You can check in and submit late entries until 6pm as long as it is before you fish.

Saturday night the weigh in will go until midnight and Sunday morning I will open the shop at 5 am for bait.  Final weigh in will be at 1 pm.  And prizes will be awarded as soon as the winners can be calculated.

It's just another Nor'Easter screwing up paradise but we'll get through it and have fun at the same time.

Rules and Regulations 2009

1.      ENTRY FEE' will be "$20 PER PERSON" for boat or land based fishermen. This fee must be received at Absecon Bay Sportsman Center prior to closing Thursday November 12th. Early entries received prior to November 1st will compete for an additional $100 Gift Certificate.  Late entries will be accepted at check in on November 13th until 8 pm..  Late entries will be $25. $15 of every entry will be used for prizes awarded.  A complete breakdown of entry fees usage and prizes will be listed on a prize page.       $5 will be used to offset some of my expenses.

2.      "BOUNDARIES" will be from Little Egg Inlet to the north and to Great Egg inlet to the South. This will include all waters, beaches, bridges, jetties and sod banks from 7 Bridges Road to The Somers Point, Ocean City Causeway.  "FISHING TIMES" will start 12 pm (noon) Friday November 13th and continue 24 hours until final weigh in at 12 pm (noon) Saturday November 14th.

3.      Regarding Boat Fishermen:  Everyone on a boat must be entered , (Anglers List) and the boat must be registered. There will be an additional $10 boat registration fee which will go 100% to prizes in a "Captain’s Pool." (solo boat anglers are not required to enter Captain's Pool but must do so to win.)  Everyone on the boat need not enter at the same time but at the check in on Friday November 13th, the Captain or appointed member of the crew must confirm who will be fishing the tournament.

4.      "CHECK IN" will be held at Absecon Bay Sportsman Center on Friday November 13th prior to fishing. Every land based fisherman and one representative from each boat will be required to check in prior to fishing during business hours on Friday November 13th, which in this case will be 6 am to 8 pm. There will be prize and sample bags available for anglers checking in so it will be worth your while to show up.  Check in goodie bags will be first come first served depending on donated goodies available and the amount of anglers checking in so plan on checking in early. However Check In  Goodie Bags will be reserved for all anglers registering prior to November 1st.

6.      " WEIGH IN" will be Friday Night  from 8 pm until midnight and Saturday morning from 8am the tournament completely closes at 12 noon Saturday. Absolutely no late weigh ins and prizes will be awarded immediately following at 2 pm. Saturday

7.      Each angler entered will be permitted to weigh in two stripers over 28" at each of the weigh in periods.  See Prize Page for a complete list of prizes designed to reward the best fishermen and give LUCK a chance for those who don't find the big one. 

9.      All fishing will be done in accepted sporting manner on rod and reel, hook and line.  Though I do not expect IGFA rules to be followed exactly, they are  good guidelines.  Wire Lines definitely are acceptable for this tournament.

10.  Any PROTESTS must be registered in writing before the end of the tournament at 12 pm. Saturday.  I, David Showell, will be the final judge and my decision will be final.
