The tournament runs from 10/2/24 – 11/6/24 (it started the day of the October meeting and will end on the day of the November meeting). We will take submissions right up to 12PM noon on 11/6/24.
This tournament requires the angler to use a lure made by a CSA member (current or former). You do not need to have made the lure yourselves, this allows for non-builders to compete.
Participation Requirements: Open to all active CSA members whose dues are paid.
General Tournament Rules:
1)   Fish must be caught with both feet planted on terra firma
2)   Overall length measured from tip of the nose to tip of the tail and rounded to the nearest ½”
3)   Entries are based on the honor system (Though we would love some photos for SUDS, please!)
The largest striped bass (total measured length) caught on a CSA made lure wins. In the event of a tie, the first entry submitted will be the winner.
Please make all submissions via email to mike@highhooklures.com or by posting on the CSA message board.
Entry Fee:
One lure of your choice. The winner of the tournament with take the whole lot home! The lure does not have to be made by a CSA member, but that would be a nice touch. These should be new or in like-new condition. Please be present at the November meeting or otherwise arrange to get your entry fee to the winner.
