Thanke for responding Jeff. I thought there would be more input but I suppose it it mostly just the striper fishermen who are using the board at this point. I don't think having a separate fee for each category would be too costly. The Forked River Tuna Club runs several tournaments for individual anglers each year. Their entry fee for the most recent one was $40. for stripers and $40. for blues. A lot of people joined and I believe they made a nice profit. The Barnegat Fishin' Hole currently has 8 categories and at $10. each that would obviously total $80. However, most would not enter all the categories and members could just enter one category at a cost of $10.. I feel strongly that we would end up with a lot more entrants and it would also show which species our members are most interested in fishing for. Regardless, I think winter flounder shoud be dropped due to lack of interest. I could say the same thing about weakfish but with all the small ones around this past year, I am hopefull that the fishery for them will soon recover. Paul

I finally have to minute to respond, sorry for waiting so long. I have not fluke fished in years (not my thing) and I've never bottom fished in my life. That being said I am well aware that many members on this board have never fished for Tuna, Sharks, Mahi, Marlin, Swordfish, etc. I would guess that before this year there are also members that never caught a striped bass (maybe they never even tried).
I like the idea of individual categories. In my case, why would I want to anti up ten bucks or even a hundred bucks towards bottom fishing (fluke, seabass, etc)? By the same token, why would a surf fisherman or a kayak guy want to enter a tuna category?
As much as I hate to admit it, I only fished about twelve days this year (all but once on my boat). Some members on this board probably fish more than seventy days a year. Not sure guys like me have a chance of winning a year long tournament? I have won the bluefish category in the past, but that was before my son played baseball on four traveling teams (spring, summer and fall) and I coached my daughters softball team during the spring.
For 2012 I'm hoping to get more time on the water, no more softball coach and my son is now driving. More likely than not I'll join whatever tournament this site offers if it includes species I normally target.

Let a new guy chime in, if you don't mind. I'll be entering this years tournament for the first time, assuming my boating plans pan out, and feel it would be nice to target all the above mentioned species, at a flat rate (say $80.00) as was previously mentioned. I have fished in other areas for many years, and would like to challenge myself to hit a "grand slam" of multiple categories. OK, I'll admit, this is the first year I'm retired, and hope to spend most of my time on the water Fritz
