1/2 way between Rabbit Island and where West Pass goes into West Cove.

Would strongly consider allowing prepayment and not have a morning check in. No landing has facilities that make it convienent for a large group to do this.

[SaltyShaw]

agreed with chief!! Lets do the weigh in at Heberts that way the people who want to rent a place for the weekend can

[Ray]

Agree with prepayment, but how do we know if someone isn't already fishing before start of trounament if no check in?

[SaltyShaw]

We can do like other tourneys and provide a weigh card for your team. Only way you can weigh in is with your weigh card imo

[jchief]

Trust

[jchief]

Plenty of other ways to cheat if they want to.

When do you give out the weigh cards?

I pasted over it evening before, 2 ft. of water.
Next morning, low tide, hard NW winds, 6 inches.
Didn't use my brain cell to figger out it was gonna be that low.
Hard hard bottom, lots of shell.

I agree. No early starts. Every tournament I have been in was like that.
Launch anywhere. But all leave from same location.

People with smaller boats can launch way easier out of calc point and you can launch more at one time.

Place has not been decided yet. Needs to be big enuff for however many we sign up.

I really dont like the idea of bringing in dead fish. Too easy for someone to cheat. Put **** down the fishes throat. Putting a fish thats too long on ice, will shrink the fish and cause it to be a legal fish. I know everyone doesnt have a livewell. I also think we should allow a fish that measures 27" on the line to be legal. Every tournament ive ever fished does it this way
