2015/2016 Striper Mafia Tournament Series

Presented by Captain's Quarters Bait & Tackle, the Striper Mafia is hosting a "CPR" (Catch-Photo-Release) tournament series on Smith Mountain Lake, VA.   Events will be held in November, December, March & April during which the "slot" is in place to protect our larger fish, and be conducted in a "Catch-Photo-Release" style.  The format will feature an early morning captain's meeting at a location to be defined to review the rules and hand out approved measuring devices & photo token cards and "lines in water" will follow at safe-light as designated for each tournament, with the "check-in" at a time to be determined later that day.
