Angler of the Year
There are ten categories of local inshore species which are used for determining the Angler of the Year. A numerical factor has been assigned to each. Points are determined by multiplying the factor assigned by the weight of the fish.
Members may enter fish in all categories. However, only your largest fish in each category will be used in determining the winner. There are no minimum weights and fish need not be caught in New Jersey to qualify but the vessel must depart from New Jersey ports. All fish must be caught through recreational fishing only. Fish caught by Party or Charter Captains while employed as such, are NOT ELIGIBLE.
The highest point scores for each member (ie Striped Bass, Blackfish, Bluefish, Flounder) will be totaled. The member with the highest points total for their top 4 species will be the crowned Angler of the Year.
By using the assigned factor, the following weight fish all get the approximately the same points:
|
Species |
Assigned Factor | Multiply | Weight | Total Points |
| Bass, black sea / Centropristis striata | 7.7 | X | 3 | 23.1 |
| Bass, striped / Morone saxatilis | 1.0 |
