Thanks for posting Morty, Congrats to all. Had a great time. Sorry I could not stay around for the awards ceremony. Kudo's to all of the dedicated volunteers that put a lot of hard work into making this the best tournament you would ever want to get into. And don't forget to go and visit the fine sponsors that also help this tournament be the way that it is. Without there support it would be very tough to have an event like this. Andy, Nice to see your points held up. Nice job. Ron DMS #288 | ||

It is great to hear such positive feedback from the anglers who participated. DMS has brought the "southern flair" to a northern tournament. Congrats to your 3rd place Cindy. Tell Nicole, thanks for the help. This tournament is truly a "family affair". | ||

Don't know if they are married, but these 2 fished together. She landed a short striper Sunday morning. I called her the Striper Lady.   | ||

A light hit, just after the early morning shower.  Later in the day, the wind changed from SW to NW and got colder. This lady was with a group of walk-ons from Pennsylvania, fishing at Conquest Road.  | ||

Great tournament guys. You could see that a lot of time and dedication went into this event. As in years past, made more friends and met some great people. Special thanks to Jim Peel for talking me into fishing this tournament this year. I failed to get back to a few people who where interested in the custom rods I make and was throwing. If anyone would like to get one made you can reach me on my cell at 609 214 2276. They are imported from New Zealand, come in lengths of 11'.6", 12.0' and or 13'.6" Gary L. Born DMS 303 | ||

Hi Gary, I am interested in the rod and also the make of circle hook you were using. I had nonstop bites both days but my 1 gami circles would not hook up automatically. I did allright coming in 13th but I am always looking for wisdom. I caught skates, doggies, blues, kings, lings, flounder, trout, and a puffer. Thank you, Andy M. | ||

Gary, first 10% seems reasonable for talking you into it (really not the way I remember it, I believe it was more like this: are you really sure you can get away from your team schedule they need you;)) and picking the fishing spot for day one. Hell day two we were only 100 yards away so i'll take credit for both days. Always a pleasure fishing with you. DMS great event, thanks to all for putting on a top notch event. Doug great eats. Jim |
