Tuna Troller,
I did not interpret it as being two different tournaments. If in fact there are I would gladly enter both as I fish a lot in my boat but even more from the surf and jetties. I guess Joe will have to clarify this.
Also the time limit for a boat leaving and returning to a NJ port can be 24 hrs, 36 hrs, or even 48 hours. I think a time limit needs to be in place though. Otherwise, you could have a boat leave a New Jeresy port, overnight for a few nights up in Montauk or Block Island and then return to a New Jersey port with a monster striper or shark. I just like to see all the loopholes in the rules closed.
