OK folks let me just say HOLY FRIG I didn't expect this much interest already !!!!!!
I have 2 days in mind and want to see what you folks think so please reply and let me know what works best for you.
June 3rd 2012 or June 10th 2012 ?
I count 54 and I only counted either the low # posted and 1 for people that said we .
Wdodgetruck kids 13 and under will be free and have their own prize to win anyone over 13 will be in for the whole deal so it will be $20+5 opt for big fish could be a pretty good first prize

I am only gonna do 1 day BD just want to see which weekend works best for the most people I prefer the 3rd so it's already leaning in that direction
I haven't spoken to the marina's yet it will be at which ever will have us by the looks of all the interest it will take a lot of their parking and we will need some room for everyone to congregate for the weigh in and prizes I will be making some calls next week to talk to both marina's in Burwell

I understand that I am only saying that should it be postponed to a second date I probably wont be able to make it. I will leave the 3rd open. Will we have to launch Burwell and how will you structure prizes?
Perhaps a new thread so we can follow a little easier

Cool just making sure I will be doing a 80% payout for first,second and third and a seperate big fish pot for those that pay into it .The remaining 20% goes to the fish a thon.
I know some people don't like the 1st,2nd,3rd pay out but this is a low entry fee FUN tourney to raise a bit of money for the Fish a Thon and to give some people that wouldn't normally fish a tourney to see what it's like and meet a bunch of people from the board .
The rules will be like a normal bass tourney I will post the full rules and date later this month or early March and will have a copy for everyone the day of it will be up to the angler what they do with their fish but the fish must be alive for wiegh in (I don't want to see people bringing in that 17"er they have on ice to get mounted so Bring a bucket to keep the big guys alive if you don't have a livewell)I will look at the fish that are coming in and decide weather it's good or not because I know it's hard to keep the deep fish alive. I don't want this to be to serious just a fun day on the water.

Hey SRT8,
I have on question for you.
I have my boat docked in Pt. Bruce am I expected to pull it it and launch in Burwell or can we take the scenic route and just register at one of the marinas in Burwell?
Also since I and some of my friends don't have live wells it maybe a little difficult to keep our fish alive.
Your thoughts?!

No launching out of bruce is fine you would just have to register in burwell ,and for the people with no livewells I will be handing out a page with the rules on it with the date and such on it so I am thinking that I will allow fish that are in a picture with that page in it just to keep it honest But I would try to keep them alive if you can for some reason fish lose a bit if weight when they die .I don't want to make this to serious so I am flexable to accomadate as many as possible
