REGISTER! The Port Open Event

As I recall last year ScottV had three good stripers on the fly rod.

I had a total of 14 fish last time at King of the Port. [emoji41]

But I hate the port because I still can't figure it out and get skunked a lot.

Got skunked this afternoon

I only caught undersized stripers on Monday. I hate that place, not a favorite at all.

Some how I missed the post on live bait. Has there been any discussion on areas that will or won't be off limits?

I thought the rules said no live or cut bait. So can we use dead uncut bait like Sardines or anchovies?

I'm pretty sure the answer is no.

Is dough and or formed grubs/rat tail bait allowed?

Correct. Anything that is alive or was alive is not allowed. Dough baits, power bait(s), scents, gels all OK.
Use common sense. If you need to dissect or push the limit of this rule you probably shouldn't be using it.

Hahahahahaha! I wasn't the one that asked this time! Hahahahah!

Use common sense. You can go anywhere you want from the launch but make sure to read and understand the tides and wind WX before launching.
Also please obey all posted signs and warnings throughout the port issued by the Port Authority.

Do you have to sign up with FreshKats and pay the entry fee to compete in the open event?

Yes, if you want to compete on the King of the Port Open event. You can sign up through freshkats.com or show up the morning of the event. If you want to just show up and fish, demo and enjoy the raffle, no need to register. Hope to see you there!

I was speaking for the anglers who went into this from the very beginning knowing the rules and abiding by them to be only confused by another last Minute Change. So I apologize for the sudden Change. Regardless,  it should be a great showdown. I think 5 stripers or a limit of bass and crappie will take it.

• 6:32am shotgun start for all within 50 yards of the launch ramp.


Why not 6:30????? just saying!

Right? Another head scratcher. But the Shotgun is For Real!  Complimentary  from our very own Montana!

I think you can only have 2 stripers.

Wait a darn minute ... you mean to tell me that a shotgun is the biggest bang Montana can deliver?  I somehow doubt that!   Bring out the big stuff!!!!
