4 divisons.NE angola areaNW pine lake areaNC wawaseeCENTRAL summit/prarrie creekTop 2 each region go to a "classic" to be anounced in Jan.
I am and my brother probably would be also...but realistically we can only do it if it is set up into geographical regions like NE, NW, NC, etc. We are self employed and can get away but are limited to a degree. But we are down!!!!
okay heres some thoughts:wed nights 5:30-9NW pine lakeNC wawaseeCN summitNE to many lakes let them decide on one...lol2 gils 2 crappie by length. fish must be alive for weigh in.all anglers "take off" and come back from the same point( no driving to the private pond)an angler can only qualify in one divison.from safe ice for 5 wks. set the final for late feb. Final will be on non qualifying water20.00 per person sign up up front. 5.00 per event. 3.00 goes to weekly winner and 2.00 gets rolled into final fund.10 guys @ 20.00= 200.00 plus from the 10 guys 2.00 x 5 weeks= 100.00total for 10 guys= 300.00100.00 goes to final and 200.00 payed out to 1st and second 60/40 (120.00 for 1st 80 for second)final 8 guys ( 2 from each div) going for 400.00. winner takes all!win it all based on 4 divisions each with 10 guys and and thats like 520.00 (plus a couple weekly 30.00) for 55.00!
8+8+10+10=36" beats 10"= 10"step away from the fly tying glue!!!!! LOL!!total length..single fish would be by weight to be fair. total length rewards the guy who can get 2 species that don't always share the same water. it would be up to who ever puts it on. i'm just throwing out ideas!sounds like you like the weight ...
Im in! Could probably get another person or two involved....
I'd say keep it an individual not a pair, that will complicate it and if someone wants to join then it will put a barrier up. I do wonder if we should just have guys gather this year on a weeklly basis and wait on the money part til we prove we can do it? But I'll do what the group wants. I would say a local group could wait and decide what lake to go to on a weekly basis based on ice conditions and reports or just to move around for some vareity. Then the location could be announced on here. I'm looking forward to learning from all of you.
