Have lure package prizes for 1st place team and 2nd place team and another prize for largest bass overall. Each team can enter 4 fish (1 per person) per week and as usual it's all C&R. This will take some of the pressure off john to come up with the prize $$ and will make things a little more interesting... I think anyway. Locations and dates... why not make the fisihing window a week instead of a weekend? and have the cookouts at the end of each week? Do Week of 9/9 for the East end of the Canal North, Week of 9/23Cape/Islands/SE Mass, Week of 10/7 for Rhode Island and then a Wildcard Week for 10/28-11/3 Fish anywhere you want. Team with longest total inches (I'm talking fish here you jokers) wins. Good, bad, ugly?

I like your thinking

Another option for Montauk, if you don't need a vehicle over there is to take the high speed ferry to Block Island (which goes into new harbor). Walk over to Champlins and catch the Viking ferry to Montauk. Whoever said that its illegal to sleep in your car is correct, its also illegal to sleep on the beach. With so many roads and so much beach its impossible to enforce unless your sleeping in the middle of town.

If you're going to drive the ferry from New London to Orient is the only way to go, saves about 250 miles. You don't have to take the ferries onto and off of shelter island, you can drive west to Riverhead and then drive back out the south fork.

Shagwong Inn is must visit, at least for a drink. dinner there is a little pricy, but good. Other "must see" places are the Memory Motel, right in town, where the Rolling Stones wrote the song of the same name. Liar's Saloon up in the harbor area. Of course the Lighthouse itself, which is now a museum. If you walk west on the south side into Camp Hero, you can discover all kids of creepy places where the anti-aircraft guns and later missles used to roll out onto the beaches.

There is lots and lots of fishy beaches out there on both the north and south shore. If you go don't be afraid to check out some of the less "well known" places. I've seen bass and blue blitz the beaches on the north shore of Hither Hills state park, but you need a truck to get in there. Shagwong point is another good beach to try. You can get there by walking down the taxiway of the airport and then climb the dunes at the end.

If we have one Rhody leg this year (and its looking that way) I think it will be at the usual haunts for South County / Watch Hill as that is usually better than NPT in the later stage of time. Not to say we shouldn't look at NPT for the next year though the NPT guys might get pi$$ed


OK - Potential Dates to avoid some of the other Tourneys:

North Shore September 22 - Location TBD

Cape Leg September 29 - Location M&Ds (with the OK from Mike & Barb)

Rhody Leg October 6th - Location King Cove Outfitters (extra people will be in town for PB07 )

Montauk or Jersey Leg - Date & Location TBD

For one of the Prizes we could offer Attorney Fees......Because after fishing on Cutty the weekend of the 15th and then going to these the next 3 weekends.......I'm gonna need them

Getting late for planning a North Shore Leg... Maybe next year?

Maybe Next year - seeing that a lot of the North Shore requesters can't make it on the potential North Shore Leg

OK - M&Ds is good - Day before StriperFest

We'll have the other "Mass Leg" on Cuttyhunk seeing that there will be so many S-B'ers there at the time this weekend

I think we should stick with October 6 for Rhody as that is a good time to have a leg and lots of pluggers will be around earlier in the day with a second option of a later cookout if they choose
