The annual South Jersey Big Bass Open is undergoing some exciting changes as well for 2010 and we think you’ll be excited. In the past, this tournament was an American Striper Association (ASA) event which was run and promoted primarily as a vehicle for their members, although it was open for anyone to join in and compete. After meeting with the ASA over the winter, it has been decided that South Jersey Tournaments will produce a new striper tournament which will have all of the fun, competitiveness and hoopla as other South Jersey hallmark events. And for ASA members, you can still gain points and compete for ASA prizes within this new tournament as it will be officially sanctioned by the Association. Mercury Marine will be the major engine sponsor along with their local affiliate, Cape Harbor Marine. Other national and regional sponsors will also be taking part, all of which will add to the excitement. As of this writing, plans were still being finalized, but you can count on a first class, multi-day event in true South Jersey Style! Check back for details on the new format, rules, prize money, etc. Dates will be October 27-30. We think you’re really going to like this!
