Associated with the 17 Rivers Striper Tournament are two related events. If these brief descriptions sound like fun, we hope you will attend. 

Captain’s Social - On Wednesday August 29th organizers are planning an informal meeting for the 17 Rivers Striper Tournament. Tournament participants and interested anglers are invited to join the tournament organizer for a social at The Cabin Restaurant which is located at 552 Washington St, Bath. For those not familiar with Bath, this road runs parallel to the river and along side of BIW’s ship building facility.

The Cabin Restuarant boasts some mighty fine pizza and they have a nice variety of beverages on tap. So please do stop by.

If you’d like to meet to discuss the format of the tournament, submit angler registration forms or review the tournament rules, we’ll be there from 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM.

Weather permitting, look for us outdoors on the patio. Alternately, look for us in the room at the front of the building, to the left as you face the cash register.

Hope you’ll drop by… Cheers!

Awards Ceremony- The 17 Rivers Striper Tournament - Awards Ceremony is to be held October 13th (3:30 PM - 5:30 PM) at the Kennebec Tavern located on the water front in Bath, Maine.

Tournament organizers, representatives of the “Official Host City” of Bath, professional fishing guides, affiliated business sponsors and participating anglers, will be invited to attend.

We are being lent the use of the cities AV equipment and plan to show a photo slideshow of some of the notable fish registered during the tournament. We will also recognize the best of the nature photographs.

Prizes will be awarded in both the Junior Division and the Adult Division to those anglers achieving the greatest fish score. These awards represent prestige and some great prizes! Angler attendance is required of prize winners. We will also be awarding a number of additional prizes to youth, so junior division participants should plan to attend and bring your fishing buddy-parent.

The Kennebec Tavern is generously providing the banquet facility for this function.  The restuarant is putting out appetizers and a cash bar will be available for those wanting a beverage. We’re excited! It’s a nice venue and a great location. Thanks to the owner’s, Kristi and Gene.

We are greatly anticipating the 2007 tournament. The awards ceremony will formalize the near-end of the 2007 striper season and finalize this years fishing event. We are appreciative of those businesses, organizations and individuals who have contributed to making this event a success and want to recognize their contributions. Please plan to attend, to show your appreciation and to have a fun time!
