Crab Contest Proposal ...

[Capt. Ed]

Hi All,

I am starting to work on the contests. Here is a rough draft of what I propose for the crab contest.

1. Contest is open to all NJSaltwaterFisherman.com registered members. There is no entry fee.

2. The contest will start Memorial Day weekend and end on Labor Day, so (May 26 through September 3).

3. There is no "weigh in station." This is a "honor system event." We will need a picture of the crab with a ruler under it with your member number somewhere in the picture (piece of paper in the picture - whatever). Also, on a piece of paper or email to Rod or me your name; the date; and method of catch.

Entries can be done via email; Forum post; or mail. If done by mail, the entry needs to be received before September 3, 2007 - sorry.

4. No females are to be entered!

5. Prizes

* 1st Prize: $100
* 2nd Prize: $ 50
* 3rd Prize: $ 25

There will be a random drawing of all entries for a $25 prize.

Any state record crab gets $250 if you agree to publish an article and picture only on our website. We will write the article if you need help.

6. For any ties, the pot will be split by Rod and myself equally.

Opinions/Comments/Thoughts/Suggestions?

Thanks,

Ed

what if you win first second and third prize...  or is it one place per person...

Hi Nick,

Good point ...

I think anyone can win all places - no restrictions.

You are fast with the response - you may want to re-read the post as I changed a few lines (LOL).

Thanks,

Ed

hey luna, where do you do most of your crabbing?? 

[Luna Sea 5]

hey luna, where do you do most of your crabbing?? 

creeks in Little Egg Harbor.  To put them on the table quicker, I have about 13 commercial nets, but only need 3 in the water.  Drop over night and lift the next morning, average after sorting the femals and small ones, at least 25 nice keepers per net, per lift.  If the crabbing is not good, I just put out a few more nets.  When I get a smaller keeper ratio per net, I just add a few more to the water.

[robsrodnreel]

luna, what are the gps coordinates for those nets and what time in the morning do you normally check them?
