On The Water Magazine & On The Water TV
Presents the 2008 Striper Cup

On The Water brings you a 5-month, season-long tournament designed to bring the entire Northeast fishing community together to celebrate the most beloved sport fish in the region, the striped bass.

With the Striper Cup, our goal is to reach out to all striped bass fishermen and reward each angler regardless of how or why they fish. Just for signing up, all entrants will receive a registration package that includes a 2008 Striper Cup T-shirt, a commemorative pin, and an invitation to the 2008 StriperFest. All registered participants present at StriperFest will be eligible to win the Striper Cup Edition 21’ Hard Top from NorthCoast Boats – You don’t even need to weigh a fish to win! This year, catch-and-release anglers will be able to have their accomplishments recognized by filling out a release affidavit and receiving the corresponding Pounder Club Pin. In 2008, five monthly shore winners and five monthly boat winners will all be entered for a 1-in-10 chance to win the all-new 2008 Toyota Tundra. New clubs have been formed, established clubs have been strengthened and the playing field has been leveled for club competition. Who will drink from the Striper Cup in 2008? Get your club or marina involved today.

We have enacted stringent rules that are far more conservative than the regulations of every state in the Northeast. Only one fish per week can be weighed in the Striper Cup. We believe that recreational fishermen are stewards of the environment, and we have created a tournament that encourages anglers to fish responsibly. In 2006 & 2007, we were proud that Striper Cup participants engaged in conscientious competition, and we encourage you to show the utmost respect for the striped bass as you fish the tournament in 2008.

The Striper Cup is about reviving sportsmanship and camaraderie among striped bass fishermen along the East Coast, and based on the nearly 4,000 people who packed the tent for a fantastic party at the 2007 StriperFest at the Harpoon Brewery, that sportsmanship and camaraderie is alive and well. Enjoy the 2008 Striper Cup Tournament and we hope to celebrate with all of you at StriperFest on October 5th, 2008. Sign up today!
