I agree with the "honor system", fishing begins at 5:30AM
Launch from anywhere, weigh-in at one place

If 100% of the entry fees go to charity, I can process credit cards for entry fees in advance, which gives us a better head-count. There are tax implications if 100% doesn't go to charity, so I don't think I can use the nonprofit credit processing account. We could offer a discount for early registration (maybe $25/person instead of $30, for example) so you can tell sponsors how many are fishing.

Man, I'm already looking forward to the next one!

I agree with everything above 100000%
