Recommendations for Next Year

I think ALL tourney entry money should go to the charity.

Also allow ahead of time sign-up with an easy ability to donate more if you want to. Then have an honor system on the start-time, like someone said, 5:30 or 30 minutes before sunup, allowing launching from two or maybe multiple launches. Who cares if it's all for charity and for bragging rights anyway? Have everyone check in or show up at Hebert's by 2:00 for weigh-in with the announced winners at 3 so those that launched somewhere else can gather up for awards, raffle, etc.

Maybe take part of the raffle sales or separate donations for a perpetual bragging rights trophy, sort of like the Stanley Cup. In fact, call it the SaltyCajun Cup. Something you could drink beer out of and take photos with when you have it.

Also, add redfish and flounder categories.

Just my .02 worth.

I like this a lot, the only problem with Heberts would be that if its rough like it was Heberts would be tough for smaller boats unless trailered there from launch to launch which could be time consuming, calc point allowed access to a lot of areas with a calm ride
