    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.

    1st place - 50% plus $100 Survival Products Gift Card
    2nd place - 20% plus $25 Survival Products Gift Card
    3rd place - 10% plus $25 Survival Products Gift Card

    As an example, if we have 15 registered anglers....
    1st - $150 plus $100 Survival products GC
    2nd - $60 plus $25 Survival products GC
    3rd - $30 plus $25 Survival products GC

    Survival Products is located in Salisbury, MD and is a Hobie, Wilderness, and Native Dealer. You can use the GC on accessories or whatever.

    Rules
    CPR Format
    1. Each fish photo MUST include ALL of the following criteria:
    a. The whole fish, tip to tail (you may pinch the tail)
    b. Laying with the mouth closed and tip of the lip at beginning of ruler. Fish MUST be left side UP.
    c. Measurement markings must be clearly visible
    d. Assigned unique identifier must be visible

    Hawg Trough and Plano Bump Board is recommended for scoring purposes, but any standardized measuring device (yard stick, Stanley tape, seamstress tape) will be acceptable. Nothing homemade.

    Fish from kayak only.
    Any waterway in Mid Atlantic Region (MD, VA, DE, DC, PA)

    Enter Catch Photos to dgreiner18@gmail.com with your name and "Rockfish Challenge". DO NOT POST YOUR PICTURES ON THIS THREAD. In the interest of fairness, we want to keep the identifier private.

    Just to add a little more clarification on the payment, I wanted to post that everyone should pay through PayPal. Once you have registered through PayPal, on the menu bar, select "Send & Request". On the following screen, select "Send Money to friends and family" and enter in the email dgreiner18@gmail.com. Click "next" and then enter the amount for $20. We'll receive an email stating that you paid and you will be emailed the identifier or have it sent through a PM on here. It will be a picture of some sort that you can either print out or have visible on your phone in the picture if you use a non-phone camera to take your pics.

    I really hope we get a good showing for this. $20 is about what you'd spend on 2 hard baits and 3 packs of plastics that you probably don't need anyway. So forego the trip to Bass Pro, use what is in your tackle box and enter to have a chance to win some cash and a GC!

          Doug, does the 20% go to you or what are the costs? I lost narrowly last year and I'm thinking about signing up again...

            You do need to avenge that very close 2nd place finish! I hope you sign up. I'd really like to see us get to 15 people. That'd offer a nice bundle of cash plus the GC for someone.

            I won't fish it this year since I am organizing it and I think that'd be a conflict of interest, but I can say that I got out on the water much more last fall because of the tournament.

            As far as the other 20% the plan is for it to go to me for managing the event. My plan is to leave what little I do get in my paypal account and roll it into some sort of marketing for upcoming tournaments. Survival would like to do some more of these and this first one is hopefully just the beginning. So yes I am keeping the 20% but I hope to put it back into more events.
