Berkeley Striper Club Spring TournamentBenefits Our Fisheries

The Berkeley Striper Club will be holdingits 9th Annual Spring Tournament 6/1/12 - 6/9/12. Thetournament will be for striped bass and bluefish. While the tournament has always been forshore fishermen, the boundaries are further restricted this year. Due to anumber of requests from avid surf casters, we have decided to limit theboundaries to the surf, jetties and inlets only. As in the past, contestantsmay only fish in the waters of Ocean and Monmouth Counties.
This year a record number of merchandiseprizes having a value in excess of $8500. will be awarded. There will be 1st to 20th place for bluefishand 1st to 20th place for striped bass. The entrance fee is just $25. perperson. Those who prefer to fish for cash prizes may enter any of the four cashcategories for blues and bass rather than or in addition to the merchandisecategory. Those interested in enteringmay do so by mail or may register at any one of nine registration and weigh-instations along the coast.
The awards ceremony will be held at theSeaside Park Municipal Building on 6/10/12 from 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM. Refreshmentsincluding hot dogs and soda will be served to all entrants, while there will beplenty of door prizes including custom plugs for those who enter themerchandise category.
Allof the profit will go to our “Fisheries Defense Fund”. In the past our primary beneficiary has beenStripers Forever, the internet group seeking to make striped bass a no sale orgame fish along the entire east coast. Thus far we have donated $15,000. totheir organization. We have also donatedto the Barnegat Bay Estuary Program which seeks to improve water quality andhabitat in Barnegat Bay, the North Carolina Beach Buggy Association which is ina legal battle over beach access, the Jersey Coast Anglers Association which isan organization that fights to protect the rights of recreational fishermen,the New Jersey Outdoor Alliance, a political action group that supportslegislators and legislation that favors outdoorsman, and Reef Rescue a groupseeking to get the commercial pots off of our reefs.
