Survival Products October Striper Challenge! Cash payout and more!
This will be an online striper CPR (catch-photograph-release) tournament that will run the entire month of October. October is one of the best times to get out on the water and catch MD's most popular species. The humidity is low, the air is cool, and the shallows are packed full of bait. Get outside and enjoy some of the best fishing of the year as stripers pack on the pounds before winter. It's an exciting time to fish.
The rules of the tournament will be similar to the one Matt (CB Kayak 02) ran last year, but a few changes have been made.
The details and rules are listed below.
Dates
10/1 - 10/31
Species
Total Length of 2 Rockfish
Registration
$20 Entry Fee paid via PayPal (dgreiner18@gmail.com)
An identifier will be emailed to you 10/1 or after you register.
After you register, please post your name on this thread so everyone knows who is participating.
Payout
80% Payout (20% towards tournament costs)
Regarding the 20% going back to running the tournament....I will not be pocketing the money. I thoroughly enjoy doing this and do not need to make a small profit off my fellow anglers. I have a job to make money. This isn't work. This is fun. My hope is that we will organize more tournaments and use what small profit we make from this tournament and upcoming tournaments to advertise and market. Radio spot, newspaper advertisement, or a local tv spot would be great (but expensive). That is a win-win for everyone and the sport of kayak fishing in general if there is money to raise awareness of our sport and CPR tournaments in general. I hope everyone understands.
