I think the main reason for the different groups is to make it easier to work out a get together. And allow guys that can get away from other areas to join in and get some good times and fishing in, fishing on boats with members from that area. If you can tow your boat to it even better, but if not you can still go and basically cost you your traveling expenses.
The other good thing especially about the fishing is each region has particular times of the year when fishing is freakin outstanding and if you arrange a get together during that time guys could take advantage of something special at very little cost. Chip in for gas and bait drive to the coast and fish with another v20 member for a few days.
I dont know how many guys are in New Jersey, and how far that would be for Tin and Phes and other guys from PA and Maryland but a fall trip here in Sept. or early Oct. is great fishing for big stripers, big fluke and a bunch of others.
Down by Oz they have great runs maybe a different time etc. etc.
I will start another thread for this area here and see how many guys would be interested in putting something together this fall, how many boats and see how many snaggers we can carry for guys that want to come without there boats.
