Anyone wanna set up a shore fishing tournament?

On a side note to a Shore Tournament, what about doing something similar to that as a boater/non-boater tournament. It can be done one of two ways. Every man for himself, boater has front deck rights while the non-boater is in the back where both guys fish against each other like the ABA, Inc Tournaments I used to fish. Those were fun until you schooled the guy with a boat and he got pissed. Or it could be a team tournament where the boater and non-boater are partners, either pre selected or by draw. It can be set up a few ways, pick your partner before the tournament, or draw day of. The boaters sign in on a sheet that is numbered and the non-boaters draw a chip with the numbers on them, thus making it a random team/every man for themself tournament. I am down for something like that. Shore tournament is an interesting idea but seems to me to be a little more difficult. However it does sound interesting. For a picture tournament, everyone would need a bump board and a camera that shows date and time so there is no cheating.

 

Here are a few more lakes for consideration for a shoreline. Dixon, Wolford (big fish, tough bite), Jennings, Poway, SD River, Padre Dam, the lake over in the park off Mission Gorge Rd in Santee, DVL (may be too big but be fun as all out).

 

I'm in and I am sure I can get atleast one other boat out there. Most weekends are good, just need to work it so we can get the most people involved.

Kellen with your connections you should work with us to set up an SDFISH.COM trail that would be pretty slick. Also we could do this a couple different ways, same teams, new team every tournament and so on.

 

so what is the plan for the shore fishing tourney?(date, location)

 

I'll work on a set of basic rules and such and then we can all work on picking lakes, and days to make the tournament schedule. I seriously think having an SDFISH.COM Members Only would be pretty slick.

 

well not the first 3 weeks of July, I'm going to be in NM and NV

 

Good idea, just not Sat.

 

So June 28th is what your asking about? Ok, what lake and is this to be from shore or the team boat thing like we were tossing around?

 

I'm with the 28th, maybe Santee lake 5, possibly split the boating rent, or just shore fish.

 

the only way you can get boaters to commit, is to set a date and location. Not all days work for everyone, so pick a day and run with it

 

We use to have one for carpfishing in the spring quite a few years ago, but it never really perpetuated itself after a couple of times. Try it, you never know the interest level. Redlance123

 

I am down for a shore tourney but im out for the boat thing cuz i thought we were gonna have a shore tournament not with boats...no need to sound like a grinch but the title says "shore tournament" if you guys are doin a boat tournament kool...or we could have both, but that wud be even more complicated...

 

so....what's the date again?

 

im in 4 the 28th sounds fun
