I fished the "ASA" American Striper Association for the first 2 years of its innception here in the NE. The ASA is a northern spinnoff of the SKA founded by the same person Jack Holmes.

There is no comparison size or reputaionwise between the ASA or the SKA. The ASA is .0000001 the size of the SKA.

I can with out a doubt say ASA made me a better Striped Bass fisherman but after two years of working my butt off and spending way too many thousands of dollars it started to kill the fun of striper fishing. (this may also be because I never finished better than top 3, and out of 15-20 boats thats not very good) [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

The SKA is a business for many fishermen and the sponsorships are a great way for non millionare fishermen to get out there and perform.

In regards to the ASA I did get a chuckle out of 36 and 38 foot cc's with 3 and one time 4 OB eniges battling it out for Striped Bass. Expecially when for the past 3-4 years a 21-23 foot single engined boat takes home the win.

My hats off to you DoneDeal good luck with the tournament trail.

Maybe you can talk to the folks at SeaCraft for us and be an ambasadeur of sorts. There is nothing more we would like than to see the glory of the SeaCraft name come back again.

Finster- I can actually picture you, Spidercrab, a pair of Zebco's, keg of Natural Light, the SeaVette (towed by a 1964 checker cab), matching leaopard print marble bags, and a stringer of spiny dogfish on the cover or Marlin Magazine Can you say "ANGLER OF THE YEAR" [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
