"PUT UP OR SHUT UP"

[Enforcer]

I am in!! Not sure I will get out or not?? But what the heck!!

Make sure you guys enter your pic's in the Photo Contest also! I will end it midnight 10/31!

Thanks CY!!

[C YENSEN]

Ok boys, there she is. I have extended the tourney to 2 weeks long this year. No more " I did not have time to fish".

Last years winner was sean. Lets not let him do it again. :bat: speaking of the devil anyone heard from him lately?

[Sean]

:hide:What's up fella's.. Most likely won't have a chance to give the contest the attention that it deserves this year as I am preparing/and anxiously awaiting the possibility of the fall run of Blue Fin Tuna (My new obsession:love:) in our offshore/inshore ledges. Hopefully after the moon on Monday the bite will pick up and I can finally put one in the boat! Ever since my 1st trip out, I have been over whelmed with the amount of life we have just off shore, flying fish, whales, porposes, dolphin, turtles, different species of bird and most import TUNA!!!!!! Good luck Guys!!!

[C YENSEN]

WHAT YOU DONT THINK ONE OF THOSE TUNA WILL WIN IT FOR YA:head:

HOPE YOU RECONSIDER. :sad:

[C YENSEN]

Lumber's daughter was in the tourney last year and will be again this year. Wondering if we will let other people sign up as well. My fishing partner wants in as well.

any opinions?

[Blue_Runner]

Did we only do one week last year? I can't remember. I do remember the 1st annual tourney lasted one month and we had 13 or 14 paying participants....I'm sure Airslot remembers since he won the darn thing with a fish market flounder :cen:
I say heck yeah lets sign up as many as possible. Just remember let's all make sure to be HONEST, meaning no cheating. That is one thing we risk if we let outsiders get involved. I say if it is a close friend of a member or an extremely good trustworthy friend we should allow them to enter.

Besides, I could use the extra cash!! DOUBLE HARDY HAR!!

[Airslot]

I'll be in, not sure how much I'll fish that period as work is busy. I'll talk trash when it get closer to fishing time :nut:

[macojoe]

My money has been sent! :sun:

[overboard]

Wow, I'm in!
I doubt I'll have a chance in hell at winning but who cares? It will be fun.

[reelapeelin]

Well...since I had a SLIGHT hand IN KICKIN' THIS THING OFF TO BEGIN WITH, I gonna join in the fun again this year!!...two weeks is my vote if we're still decidin...but I'm in either way...


Cy...see yer email...special info...

[C YENSEN]

glad some more signed up! dont forget to send me an email to

i will send you a PayPal request or my address for a check.

Reel, no email buddy...try her again

[C YENSEN]

ok....I changed the tourney. most guys say they will have a hard time getting out to fish.....so it will now last 1 MONTH

September 20th at 6am till October 19th at midnight.

[macojoe]

O baby!! You know what I like!!

I might get out after all?? I waiting for the doc to give the go ahead!

Sean....who's boat is taking you offshore??? No toggin' this year?

[C YENSEN]

whale.....you in the tourney this year????

[Sean]

Sean....who's boat is taking you offshore??? No toggin' this year?

I've been going out in my boat, the 18' skiff:beer: I have done 100 mile days and burned only about 25 gallons. Not Offshore like the Canyons, but fishing Cox's Ledge, Mudhole, Fingers ect.... Knock on wood, I have been lucky with weather/sea and only go if I have a "defenant' window.
Still scared to death of running towards blitzing whales.. as I had whales with in a few yards of the boat that just dwarfed me. Bite should start picking up so if you want to go, let me know.

I'm actually thinking of doing my 1st Tog trip tomorrow. Planning on running around for a bit and see if any bones/albies are showing up, Jig up some bass/blues then anchor up on a good early spot that usually gets over fished by Oct 1st and crush up some crabs...

[randlemanboater]

CY sent me a PM to remind me that last year I promised to enter this year, so I am in.

[Blue_Runner]

I'm paid up now....kinda pointless though since the money is just going to go right back in my pocket!! :sun:

[C YENSEN]

at least you guys have a boat to fish on.....mine blew up yesterday:nut:

[Blue_Runner]

Maybe its ok Cy she could have just over-heated. BTW I'm still having motor problems myself. I almost thought about selling until DMoore showed me that killer V21/workshop combo and I've decided best to keep the old gal. My V has been sitting on the trailer since July 27th b/c my buddy bought a 22ft Clearwater CC.

Which boat to fish? :head:
I suppose that is a great problem to have but lately it has sucked for my beloved V21.:sad:

[Blue_Runner]

By the way - don't let that stop you. Go to a nearby lake or a pond. I will likely doing my tourney fishing off the dock at High Rock Lake. Caught a couple nice 5 lb channel cats yesterday. ~24 lb state record therefore 5 lbs = 20%. I'm still looking for that 10 - 15 lber to get near the 50% mark. I won't be lookin too hard till game day though.

Good luck on your engine.

[C YENSEN]

...only if ya know the current state record...:sun:

[whale]

Well, I was out trolling today and caught a nice bluefish in the 10-12 lb range. Alas, my crappy digital scale decided not to work! I even took the thing apart and cleaned the contacts on the button. Battery was good but no go. My manual scale was in my fluke bag back at home! At 12 lb it would have been 50% of the state record. Woe is me. Try again with a working scale next time!

[lumberslinger178]

well fellas the contest will be over.....:bsflag: I'm going fishing tomorrow

[Mac_Attack]

Go get em Lumber!:beer:

[Franco]

Guys, I can't make it this year due to my dad is going to require around the clock care now he is back home.

But as the Reigning Grand Pubah of the Norton Snagger Fishing Club
(How many of y'all have one of these?)

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y67/Flafranco/P9050009.jpg

I feel I must contribute something:

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y67/Flafranco/nortonsnagger-1.jpg

[reelapeelin]

Still got my hat!!...remains a prized possession!!...thanks for the artwork...GREAT STUFF!!...


Hopin' your dad gets along OK...


How's the Grand Pa Pubah business goin??...

[C YENSEN]

thanks for the artwork Franco.....looks awesome.

So how can I get one of those hats? Or is REEL hording a case of them?:bat:

[willy]

Yea Franco ditto,

And Cy sorry for the delay but you should have it today, mailed out a bunch of stuff this week.
Got to tell you guys this sporting life is getting dayum expensive, just this week laying out for hunting licenses in three states for me and my two sons, over 400 bucks so far and that does not include extended season tags I still have to buy. Plus 1300 bucks for my annual Bird Hunting Club dues (went up again this year), went thru about three hundred the past couple of weeks in fuel and bait and gear related stuff for fishing on both boats.
The CEO is looking at me askew, might have to take her upstairs and make her forget the check book for awhile, the things I do for the sporting life.

[C YENSEN]

at least you got it to spend it...... all I need is a dam water hose and thermostat to fix my boat, and I am looking for the money to buy it and then the time to install it. Might not get to fish the tourney at this pace.:fight:

[willy]

I aint got that much to spend, when I was a youger whippersnapper I fished and hunted and I don't think I ever spent more than a few hundred a season for hunting all over. Being an outdoorsman here in the east anyhow has gotten very pricey.
Now if I had Ozzies money then I would not have even commented, now don't get the idea I am complaining cause I will be fishing and hunting till I am in the grave but it just seems to have gotten outta control.
Just an observation.

[dbetterred]

There appears to be a dearth of fish postings here. I understand when I don't catch anything worth posting (that just how I fish). But I expected to see some good fish coming from our V20 fishin' experts here. With the upcoming weather this weekend (sounds like you southern boys have had it all week) we are looking at maybe another week with no fish posted! That is half of the tournament gone. Maybe I should have kept and posted my 10 ounce sea robin from last weekend.


and when i say 10oz I really mean 8oz, heck I drowned some eels that were bigger than that.

[Franco]

Thanks Guys,
As far as I know, there are only 2 of these hats in existence! If you guys are interested I'll have more done!

Hey Oz, Dads doin' better physically, but all this took a toll on him. It has advanced his alzheimers, he is having a lot of days with his own "private reality"! He is supposed to use a walker and call for assistance getting up, etc. But he is one stubborn ol' cuss and does things his own way. He is not as steady on his feet and falling is a real danger for him. I gotta tell you guys, my wife Mrs. Pubah, stayed in the hospital with my dad for the entire 22 day ordeal! She is one in a billion!! Now that he is home we are having nurses and therapists stopping buy and helping out for a couple of hours a few days a week. We weren't sure he was gonna get to come home. Thought he was gonna end up in a rehab hospital or nursing home. That aint gonna happen till absolutely cannot care for him.

As far as being the Duckman with Aflac, it's been a good month. We are doing the enrollment for the county, a new account for us. put 1000 miles on my truck in the last 2 weeks and never left the county! Plus I put some money in the bank. It has it's ups and downs. I like my boss, being that I'm an independent agent and work for myself! I got the okay from MJ to put a space in the sponsors area. I will work on that soon and hopefully I can assist anyone interested.

I hope to have some more time to visit here more often now that we are getting acclimated to our new routine around here.

Thanks to all

One in a billion...and makes damm good pie!!...:love:

[whale]

OK, well nothing special but here is my first entry. Bluefish....I only had my 50 lb scale so the weight was not very accurate but you can see in the 2nd pic that the weight is over 6 lbs....round it down to 6 lbs because I can't be more accurate with this scale. state record is 24 lb 13 oz....so 24.2% Not much but better than anything else posted so far, right??? :clap:

[reelapeelin]

Unless Willy's sandbaggin' us, that puts you ahead ... I'm fishin' tomorrow, but got no scale, Boga Grip won't show up and wifey's got my camera at school:nut:

[C YENSEN]

you got a pic of that bad boy laying next to a tape measure? if not next time make sure you measure it.....

Well boys looks like we got a leader.....:clap:

GO GET HIM:bat:

[Blue_Runner]

Good going whale. I got a 9 lb 3 oz. flathead on an ultralight yesterday w/ a 1/16 oz jighead and crappie jig. 15 minute fight. Unfortunately the NC state record is 78 lbs so this is only 12-ish percent. Had it been a channel cat I would have had 40 + percent.

I'm still trying though and will post my entry sooner or later.

Blue

[whale]

Well boys looks like we got a leader.....:clap:

GO GET HIM:bat:

No sorry, I thought we just needed to weigh them. I had to get my 8 year old to take the picture and then I took the closeup of the scale with my right hand while holding the fish in the left. Also, I was trying not to keep him out to long as it was catch and release. If it helps, I am 5' 10" so you can compare it to the length of my torso. :)

I see this now in the original post:
"To add credence to your fish's weight, include a picture next to a tape measure and specify length (to 1/8th inches rounded up. "


Don't worry, I plan to do better anyway....just figured I'd get things started. :sun:

[C YENSEN]

No huge problem......dont worry about it.

everyone is paid up now so go get them:beer:

[Airslot]

Well, looks like this thing will be over after tomorrow anyhow:hi: Looks like I've got a window of about 5 hours mid-day to do a little scouting...

[reelapeelin]

Well, looks like this thing will be over after tomorrow anyhow:hi: Looks like I've got a window of about 5 hours mid-day to do a little scouting...


Sounds like you got a Honey-Hole staked out somewhere...how'd ya do??

[Airslot]

Got chased by thunderstorms, but caught plenty of fish. Nothing to post about here, but will craft a fishing report shortly. Yesterday was more about teaching than fishing...

[C YENSEN]

teaching them 2 youngens on how to bait your hook, fetch you a beer, and reel in your fish for ya??? sounds like you got it all figured out:beer:

[Airslot]

Young ens wuz in school. Just me & momma on da boat...

[C YENSEN]

saw the pics, momma looks like a great catch......:beer:

[willy]

Nice job Air, hope to get out next week

[C YENSEN]

anyone catch anything this weekend or were you working on a "honey do" list like me?:nut:

[reelapeelin]

anyone catch anything this weekend or were you working on a "honey do" list like me?:nut:

Is the tourney over?? Did I win???

2 more weeks left REEL. you been checked for alheismers?:laugh::you:

[reelapeelin]

I didn't win??...

[randlemanboater]

I was just WORKING.

I counted it up yesterday, I have to work FIVE Saturdays in a row.

Man that sucks.

But I have a fishing trip planned the 13th through the16th. Hope the weather cooperates.

[Airslot]

Caught a bunch of trout & rock Saturday from 18 to 23", but nothing worthy of digging the scale out. Had lots of fun though.:clap:

Motor started dropping a cylinder or two at idle but ran fine at anything off idle? Have to try and find time to dig into that this week. Ain't complaining, the thing hasn't ever missed a beat on me. I figure it was due for a little love...

[dmoore]

Maybe its ok Cy she could have just over-heated. BTW I'm still having motor problems myself. I almost thought about selling until DMoore showed me that killer V21/workshop combo and I've decided best to keep the old gal. My V has been sitting on the trailer since July 27th b/c my buddy bought a 22ft Clearwater CC.

Which boat to fish? :head:
I suppose that is a great problem to have but lately it has sucked for my beloved V21.:sad:

Glad I could help!

[Blue_Runner]

LOL

Its not set in stone yet but I think I am going to go with a block foundation, 2 x 6 stud walls, wood siding and metal roof. I need to get going on it - that's for sure! At this rate it will be 2020 before its done!

[macojoe]

I am renting a auger and drilling 20, 12" holes for sona tubes. 3' deep. We have a frost here that will heave the building in the winter if I no get it down deep.

Hope to get that done soon, I am waiting for the tree guy to cut down a 60' pine tree first.

16 x 24 workshop to be built in the spring. Or maybe some in the winter if I feel up to it?

[whale]

OK, entry #2 a bit bigger.....bluefish around 28" and 8 lbs 12 oz. You need to zoom in on the scale and see that it is just under 9 lbs a little more than half way between the 8.5 lbs and 9 lbs so I think 8 lb 12 oz. The picture with the tape has bright sun in the back so it's hard to see but if you zoom in you can just see the 27" marker near his mouth. I really need a new digital scale....

So, 8.75/24.8125 = 35.3%

I thought it was going to be over 10 lbs when I saw it but came in a little light. No other fish caught. I was initially going for blackfish but couldn't find any.

O baby!! we have a winner!! well the way its going you might?? Congrats

[whale]

I am just wondering who is holding back! Someone is going to post a monster on the last day! :head:

[randlemanboater]

Funny you should ask Whale.

My two buddies and I spent a nice day on the water today here at Holden Beach, NC. The weather is more like early September than mid-October. Sunny and warm.

Well, we caught us a mess of sea trout today, many real nice ones, but nothing to come close to your 35%.

I will post some pics in a report when I get home.

[C YENSEN]

im going sunday.......look out:hi:

[whale]

Down to the wire....I need to find time between kids soccer games to go out this weekend!

[Airslot]

While I've caught a mess of fish the last few trips, I can honestly say that I'm not holding out. I intend to get out one more time though. :beer:

[C YENSEN]

looks like just a few fishing.

Dont think "Wall Street Willy" is going to make it out. :you:

[macojoe]

Photo contest is to end the day after!! so be sure to add your pic's there also!!

[C YENSEN]

you fishing MJ?

[macojoe]

I really wanted to!!!! But I can't get out alone cause of my condition right now :cen:

CB and friend Kenny have been to busy to go, Kenny and I were going to go today, but he broke a tooth and went to the dentist instead :cen:

O well I am calling the season!! Boat has not been out of the yard since July, I can't go alone, and the leaves are falling. Just going to cut my losses and call it. Might be covering this Saturday?? I have to see if my son is coming down and give me a hand.

[C YENSEN]

sorry to hear that buddy. there has got to be someone you can take fishing.

[whale]

I was going to go out one more time but there is a small craft advisory in my area today...

[willy]

Lucky you don't have a small craft, you got Old School

fish the inside sheltered waters, that may be a good spot on heavy sea's days

[whale]

:clap: True true.....plans were to go blackfishing and anchoring up in 3-5 foot swells didn't sound fun so I chickened out. Now it's time for my kids soccer games.

[willy]

youngest (8 yo) scored 4 goals today.....he is crazy good at soccer. Doesn't get it from me....my wife was the soccer player.

[C YENSEN]

well people have till 6 pm to post their catch, but right now it looks like whale has it....come on boys, quit holding back the fish. Small craft advisory here all weekend, could not get the boat out of the slip....:bat:

[dbetterred]

Congrats Whale! looks like you have it.

I'm not sure what the RI record for dogfish is, but I thought this one was respectable. Although I forgot to get the tape measure in the picture here is the tournament winner! 120lbs dogfish!

let me know if these don't show up

[macojoe]

:clap:Congrats Whale!! :clap:

[whale]

Thanks....not a spectacular fish but always fun bringing in the big blues. I really want to find some time for blackfish over the next few weeks. I have only been out once and didn't even get a bite.

[willy]

And what boat did you use to catch that prize winning fish on?

[whale]

that would be OLD SCHOOL! :love:

[Sean]

Congratts Whale!

Black fishing is red hot, so get out there!!

[C YENSEN]

Congrats Whale you are the official winner of the tourney. Too bad you were the only person to post a fish. I will work on getting your money out to you this week. Congrats.:clap:

[Blue_Runner]

I still have one to post...it was a loser anyway but a notable catch. I'll post it one of these days :sleep:

CONGRATS WHALE!! Now you have to spend that money on Old School and let us know what you use it for. :clap:

[C YENSEN]

Did you get an e-mail that looked like it was from Paypal telling you this? I have gotten them before but they are pfishing scams trying to get your login info....

[C YENSEN]

no I went to log on and it told me that someone tried and failed too many log in attempts.....and it would take several business days to reset everything

[macojoe]

I got a email from them before, t was fake!! I called them on the phone and they said they will never try to contact me like that,Be careful!!

[whale]

I get them fairly often for Ebay and Paypal. If there is a link to click and login, it is a scam. I always forward to the customer service ([email protected]) to report it. So many people looking for someone to scam....

Well, at least they didn't get into your accounts CY but what a pain in the a$$.

[C YENSEN]

Whale, paypal is back up and you will have your payment tomorrow. Sorry for the delay, and again CONGRATS:clap:

[randlemanboater]

Glad you didn't get cleaned out.

[whale]

Whale, paypal is back up and you will have your payment tomorrow. Sorry for the delay, and again CONGRATS:clap:

Thanks....

[C YENSEN]

Payment sent:beer:

[willy]

Congrats again Kev, how about a shot of my Old School friend again before you put her up, then I will consider my twenty bucks well spent.:clap:

[C YENSEN]

So what you gonna buy? dont let the wife get her hands on your hard earned money:bat:

[whale]

I bought an Abu Garcia 7000 Big Game reel on Ebay for $75 and need to get a rod to go with it. I will post a pic when it arrives. It will be part of my fluke arsenal.

[willy]

Well its about that time of year to resurrect the Snagger Tournament, is it not?

[Blue_Runner]

Oh look at you catching all the big flounder and all of a sudden you are ready for a tourney!! Jeeeeeeeez the nerve!!!

I'm ready too. :fam:

[JeanF]

I was reading the first post of this trhead and it's a thing thaht i would like to participate. Unfortunatly, i'm not in the U.S and not even in Ontario.

I'm in Québec, just beside of Ontario in Canada.

We could make a Canadian category just for you. Problem is you'd have no competition! Since the prize is all of the entry fees, you'd automatically win and get your money back unless someone else from Canada joined the Canadian category. Just thinking out loud. Sorry Jean. What do you catch up there?

[cterrebonne]

i bet the canadian fish are huge like the wild animals.

Well, i think we have to be in the same group as everyone is. No matter where we live. As an angler, we pratice our passion everywhere we can. For my side, i will go to the great lake ( Ontario lake ) Maine, ( Casco Bay ) even if i live in Quebec.


You wrote '' What do you catch up there ''

Lake trout, Northen Pike, Walleye, Rainbow trout, Landlock salmon , Chinook salmon, and i will go to the Casco Bay in Maine for the bluefin Tuna this year.

[Blue_Runner]

I wouldn't object at all to letting you join up with everyone. As always the more the merrier!

Catchemup!
:sun:

[macojoe]

you would have nothing on anyone as you win by the % of the record of the fish you catch.

So if you catch Pike up there and the biggest on record is 100 pounds and you catch a 10 pounder you got 10% of you record fish. The person that catches the biggest % of the fish in there state or country wins.

So you see no matter were you live you need to catch the biggest fish you can in your species. So some one that catches a 3 pound Blue Gill could beat some one with a 200 pound Tuna.

Jean, can you find the provincial fishing records for Quebec online anywhere? I tried but could not. Maybe you'll have better luck searching in French??
