never easy.... Each boat (6-10 boats I would quess,,12 to 20 weight ins) lines up at the doc (stringer in the water at the doc.... the bass will be fine!!) at 12:15

We get a empty cooler and fill it with water ...Max stringers(5 fish) "go first" and set the "bar" put the stringer for each (5 fish)person in a bass bag (any big bag/sack)so they don't flop around and have any extra water. This way you get total fish weight "Quick" and easy. If you can't beat the "bar" let your catch go. Since it's only BIG fish and total weight you will know where you stand after a few weigh ins(since the big catches went first)and can release your catch and tell your story of the big one that got away later. This will limit any weight in congestion

If your concern is fish out of water time. This should limit that. A minute or 2 at best. Measuring/photo on the boat is about the same time out of water.

I think everyone would like to see/photo the big ones

Just some thoughts..I am done with ideas and will wait for the final rules.

Should be a fun day looking forward to it.

 

So did the final rules/price ever get published?

 

we need to get a head count soon so I can get enough burgers .

 

i dont think i can make it.

 

I wish I could make it but I do get off work until 7:30A. Can you launch your own boat there or is rentals only?

 

only rentals matt. unless you know someone who lives in lake villa, then i think you can borrow their key for the gate to the public launch.

 

btw, jason and i are getting together later tonight to finalize everything for the tourney. but we are agreed on a $15 per angler entry fee. the rest we'll post something tomorrow.

 

All moderators should make a special point to attend

 

I would think jack's would have a launch for a fee. would seem awefully obvious....

 

if u see the steep hill, u`d understand why they dont.

 

ahhh, ok. Can't they access the public launch? Or probably only residents, not resident businesses.

 

I would like to see a boat launch from that hill that thing sux's......LOL :twisted:

 

anything on the tourney yet ?

Actually yes. But as Augy and I were working out the details at the local sports bar Friday night, we got overserved and didn't finish. Details will be posted by this Friday.

"Overserved?"

 

Yes - overserved. Those damned waitress' brought us too many beverages. 8)
