Pam Kearney

The 2008 MSBA Annual Derby runs May 1 through November 30. All entries must be mailed to me directly and postmarked no later than 7 days of catch or they will be disqualified. For you new members, the annual derby is free for all current dues paying members (life members must pay $5 to membership). All entrants must have been a member in good standing at least 5 days before date of catch for their entry to be accepted. This is a Striped Bass and Bluefish derby. It is separated into 2 divisions, All Tackle and Fly Rod. Each division is separated into 3 categories: men, women and juniors. Each category is separated into boat or shore fish. There is no minimum size for bluefish and striped bass minimum is 36" except for juniors and fly rod, which have a 28" minimum. In addition to the annual derby, there is also a Special Tournament each month. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, suggestions or concerns you may have. My e-mail is kearneypj@comcast.net and my home phone number is (781) 331-1401.
