What about jon boats or ghenoes with just electric trolling motors?

Why would you have to wait?, just get in line and launch/load when it's your turn.crappielimits wrote:I don't like blast offs or tournaments held at a single ramp. If you have ever drove early to ramp to wait on tourney anglers to unload or come in from hot day of fishing only to wait in the heat on a bunch of tourney boats to load or wrap up the banks. You would understand.

Re: Interest in a Jon boat only tournament
No different than scallop season with the seasonal boaters... At least the majority of tournament fishers know the rules of the road and, for the most part, boat ethically. I'd rather deal with them than the inexperienced.reelbad wrote:Why would you have to wait?, just get in line and launch/load when it's your turn.crappielimits wrote:I don't like blast offs or tournaments held at a single ramp.

Re: Interest in a Jon boat only tournament
The ramp isn't the problem for shotgun starts. With the limited range of jons, I think you will have a better turnout if everyone can use the ramp of their choice. What's wrong with lines in at safe light or sunrise?

In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. And we will understand only what we are taught.

Count me in!
Re: Interest in a Jon boat only tournament
Gonna have to get me a jon boat now.
To fish, or not to fish, . . . those are the answers.
Re: Interest in a Jon boat only tournament
Just an FYI fellas. That's the same day as the FSU vs Miami home game. The following weekend is a home game as well. You may get more participants if you avoid those. Just my 2 cents

Hey Brian,
If I don't have coaching duties the weekend they decide on, I'm game to team up with you. Your boat is perfect for my autumn redfish creek spots! Gary
