I enjoy this site and the guys and gals on it to much and can see this thing getting ugly quick so I  think and  kind of get a scents this contest may just go down a road with certain members I don't want to so I think I'll take a pass on it and just enjoy another trout season. Till I get my bass blood flowing, With draw me on this one guys.





You'll always have cheaters in everything you do Paul, someone who is willing to go beyond the rules to win or look better, but you just have to play the game by the rules and have fun. Dont let cheaters keep you from having fun.

What made you think there would be cheating anyway?

I agree, and if you have to cheat at something like this then YOU SUCK!! I think we should just count number of trout caught each week and make it easy.
Just my opinion though.

I don't know, just a feeling I got while reading the post and thinking back on the Deer contest I think after the crap that happend with a certain deer entry the whole contest lost flavore with a lot of people, I personally know a few that took nice deer and never even bothered to enter them after that

That is the biggest reson in the world to cross the line. Pride is always the Temptations at the root of bad choices . 

I hope my gut is wrong I just hate seeing things happen on here that wind up looking bad for us all.

I'll give it a shot, SORRY IF I OFFENDED ANYONE, I DID NOT MEAN TO I am a little off my game right now so I could be totally wrong in this case
Im still in and will be doing a bit of both Fly and spinning fishing.

I am in and I will be flyfishing.


Are you only going to count fish caught in NJ waters?

the longest fish is dumb...especially for me cause im in south jersey with no hold over trout getting big. It should be number of fish...and make it like rainbow is 1 pt, brown is 2 pt, and brookie is 3.

im in...
Posted:  28 Feb 2007 6:31 PM
im definitely in

Is it also possible to give points for the number of trout caught by each team on a weekly basis?

50 - 1 point
75 - 2 points
100 - 4 points

any ideas on this???

Lets see could have something to do with it is a bit harder on the fly fishermen with all the bait guys casting all around them. At least on the first few weeks most fly guys can't get near any of the Good stretches or good holes with all the bait lines in the water. And there is of course the fact that it is a little more of a challenge and needs finesse to catch trout on the fly line especially when there is a ton of live bait being slung in front of them.



whatever..theres lots of places that are artificial or fly only with some really nice size trout in it...no problem with people slinging live bait in front of them there.....



and i say make it kind of like the deer contest entries...every member of team can enter their fish..and we go with species and size

so if i catch a rainbow and a brown i can enter them both but if i catch 5 rainbows then only one can be entered....just like the deer contest had doe and buck same thing,,,,,,,and must make it mandatory that there needs to be a good picture of the fish next to a ruler for it to count

Lou I only second on an original Idea, the reason I said, I would second is not only the crowds that are bad for fly fishing the first few weeks, but there are other things that can make it rough like the hieght and speed of most streams and even the muddiness of most streams like the Pequest in the early spring , but none the less it was deleted from the original post, and at this point it's a mute fact anyway. No BIGGY

the average stocked fish are no more then 13 inches, and most of SJ has no holdovers or wild trout...so we are at a loss in catching decent sized fish..but we still have a fairly equal shot at catching quantity..there just needs to be a point system on the type of trout i think...

I still say just count the trout, no weight,length, or breed. You can put it on the post for bragging but it should not get you any extra points. A 4 lb stocked fish is no smarter than a 1/2 pound stocked fish if they were stocked at 4 pm and fished at 5 pm
