I met the owner of NewEnglandFishing.net whose name is Mike this morning and hes a great guy. After talking for a while we decided on having a friendly competition between the two sites since both are mostly Massachusetts Fisherman members in each one. We now have a competition for the month of August so all MAanglers.com members make us proud.Below are some more details and rules regarding this competition.

[Matt B]

A few more days and this contest will be on!

Any takers around here???

[JayW]

Matt,
Your board has quite a bit more members but we are up for the challenge. Most of your guys are from Eastern MA and were all mostly from WMASS but we will show who are the stronger fishermen. HAHAHA

[Matt B]

any swimbait guys in western mass???

[knotreelly]

i had posted a reply yesterday about this tournament and part of it was a question if there would be two stripe bass entrys, one for shore, and one for boat? can't find that reply today, i must have deleted it or somthing else happened to it? new to this computer, message board stuff. thanks for the time.

[JayW]

knotreelly, here is your post http://www.maanglers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=997&page=2 it was under the general categorie one. i posted the tourny in 3 spots so hopefully everyone will see it.

[Joe B]

should be for some friendly fun but we do have some real hog hunters on the other site so its gonna take a largie over 7 and a smallie over 5 to win as for the stripers i think that may be a little closer but we have a few ringers.....lol all in good fun though

[knotreelly]

thanks jayw

[Scrapp]

this should be fun...NEF ALL THE WAY Beerchug

[tacoma]

I Shall be dedicating both of my days off (Tues./Wed.) Aug.1 and 2nd to begin the thrashing that NEF will receive from our crew! I am all geared up with new line and tackle and think I know where I may find a big one or two............oh its on!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fisher16]

Looks like a good competition only a couple of days till August 1st, I wish I had visited Martha Vinyard then. I have a couple of fish to show everyone.

[buckmanjr]

Well lets see them!

[phool]

just to instill some fear in the maangler guys, i plan to catch at least a 1.5 lb large mouth for this comp!! lol

oh yeah who is scared now!!!

[buckmanjr]

o jesus!

[davel]

here we go

[knotreelly]

welcome phool, cool picture, having fun, lifes easy

[YOTE BUSTER]

Thinking of withdrawing after seeing that picBow1 Bow1

[fisher16]

Is this the same competition as the one Buckmanjr is running? Because in that tourny there is no mention of any awards ect. In this one there is mention of awards. Notsure

[buckmanjr]

No, the one i am running is different, it will start after this one is over, i just want everyone to register before hand.

[davel]

contest should really heat up once this weather breaks

[davel]

I think the bragging rights are more important than any prize we can win

[mikeymac]

I'll be putting in a full day tomorrow to get us on the board. Good luck guys.

[fisher16]

Welcome to the site, and good luck I'll have a couple of days this week I'll be fishing. So look out What1 Thumbsup

[davel]

Good luck everyone from both boards

[fisher16]

Quick question, Are members of NEF going to have pic's of fish posted on our site visa versa we have pics of our fish posted on their site?

Another idea while I'm thinking, I think the tactic, body of water, date of catch, water temp, ect should all be included in the catch report.

[fisher16]

Well any fish yet?

[knotreelly]

checked their site and nobody has posted anything

[buckmanjr]

well, i think i might go out tmmrw do some topwater in the thick matts.

[ryan311]

Come on guys I'm sitting at work looking for some big fish. I know fisher is fishing the Congamuck tonight with a CTF member hopefully he will be able to turn it up a notch. Although Congamuck is a pretty tough place to fish it does hold some beauties.

[buckmanjr]

well, i worked today, so i didnt fish, maybe this weekend for stripers...that counts right?

[Matt B]

we've been out a bunch but back to back 100 degree days has shut it down...lots of dinks, 2-3 lbers, no hogs yet...we have an NEF Lunker T tomorrow morning, so hopefully we can get on the board

any of you guys doing well with the heat???

[fisher16]

Same as you guys alot of two and three pounders. I'll have a report up in a little while lost two today just after the front blew thru may have been contenders. But they tossed the hook and one took my jig and pig. Sad1

[Massbowhunter1968]

[tacoma]

[buckmanjr]

can i enter a 27 inche striper and upgrade later? I guess i will, where do i post the picture.

[ryan311]

I agree we will be putting in some serious time again this weekend on the river. Hopefully one of us will get a fish over the five pound mark. Congrats Billybass those are nice fish. But I think we can still edge those ones out. What1 Tongue1

[fisher16]

I updated the calender for the Maanglers vs. NEF tournament with both fish Billybass caught on 8/06/06. We have been close to taking a spot. I have a feeling that we will take at least one away from NEF before the end of the weekend. Come on guys lets get it done.

[Sledneck]

any stripers been entered yet? how do I contribute to MA Angler's victory?All you need to enter the fish is a picture?seems a little too easy for those guys to pull the wool over our eyes

[EscapeIsNever]

this will be fun...hopefully something big will come this weekend by NEFBeerchug

[mikeymac]

A 5lb 8oz Largie came in..... Im sure some bigger fish will come in very soon.

[Massbowhunter1968]

A 5lb 8oz Largie came in..... Im sure some bigger fish will come in very soon.I seen that fish on the other site it was cuaght not far from my House.

[fisher16]

Nice fish, I'll update the calender event posting for this event. Edge out Billybass fish.

[buckmanjr]

well, i guess i will enter a 27 inche striper. It was caught in barnstable channel fluke fishing on a fluke rig with squid.

[fisher16]

I added it to the Calender Buckmanjr. You never know so far its the biggest. It seems alot of those eastern guys only fish freshwater. If I lived that close to the salt it would be salt only. I am trying to check the NEF site but there appears to be a issue logging in. Any NEF guys here that can update us still looks like DaveL fish is the current leader due to it being on the home page of the site.

[davel]

The site has been down. Last time I was on it was late yesterday afternoon. My largemouth and Billy bassgate's smallie were still leading. Hoping to see some big fish the next couple of weeks.

[phool]

i know i saw this:
Striped Bass - Swannie 40" 19 pounds (http://www.newenglandfishing.net/uploads/post-3-1155176594.jpg)

We are working on the site right now. Hosting provider is awful

[fisher16]

Good luck Phool I noticed the problem last night thought you guys were just doing maintence on the site. Hope you get it back up and running soon. DaveL I added this tourny to our Calender if you want to take a look. Look down at the bottom of the page where the links are and just clink on the tourny one.

[phool]

All set.
The hosting provider we have is terrible, moving and upgrading the forum very soon

[JayW]

Phool,
I talked to mike today and I guess he was right when he said a few weeks ago that the hosting he has is terrible. I use globat and havent had really any major problems. You guys should check them out or even godaddy which whom I might be moving to this coming fall once my 1 year hosting is up. Well anyways best of luck with the new stuff Beerchug

[phool]

yeah i use to have my own hosting company, wish i still did. I really like 1and1, there up time, prices and support are by far the best I have seen and Im on my like 10 hosting provider! lol

[buckmanjr]

well, just talked to travis, known as sledneck on here, and he pulled in a 40 inche striper on the fly rod, took some pictures, should post it on here tmmrw.

[fisher16]

Beerchug Forty Inch Fish Thumbsup Bow1 If you talk to him tell him I said Congrats. Jay and I are supposed to head out tonight to a local pond that might hold some quality bass. I'll report back later.

[buckmanjr]

ya, pulled it on on the fly rod to!His wife is comin over to cut my hair, i think he is coming to...I will talk to him then.

[buckmanjr]

And good luck tonight, lets show NEF that were better! (:

[JayW]

we'll try our best Wink1 this pond has little to no fishing pressure on it and a few years back we caught 2 3.5lbers the same day. more baitfish and lilly pads everywhere now so hopefully the fishing will be better Chill1 lots of big pickeral some 20+inches fat and slimy MachineGun

[fisher16]

Have him post it tonight. When his wife is cutting your hair. Hopefully it was a pound heavier than the other NEF one. Tongue1

[tacoma]

Go getem' fellas'

[Sledneck]

Got a nice 25lb striper yesterday @ 40" on the fly rod. Don't know what the biggest NEF striper is but it might take theirs. Waiting for photobucket site to get up and running to post pics.

[Sledneck]

Might be the biggest in the tourny w/ NEF so far???But it wasn't taken on live eels......40" and 25lbsBeerchug

[YOTE BUSTER]

I was having more fun when it was just fishingThumbsup Know just trying to target big fishSmashhead

[fisher16]

Come on guys, just a couple of days left in this thing. Keep at it

[Fishstory]

42 1/4 inch 27 pound. I think the difference is, they have been a club for a long time, also they have like 500 people fishing for them to win this thing, we have like 15-20 members actively posting and fishing and 380 lurkers!!!!

http://photos.maanglers.com/albums/userpics/10019/normal_post-5-1156588196.jpg

[YOTE BUSTER]

Agree1 with fishstory but we probably have less active members than thatEyeball Roller and even fewer members that put in any type of replies.So i'm asking myself why bother with a thread if you can't even get a grunt from some of these DEAD BEATS.My 2 centsNotsure

[knotreelly]

we gave it our best
