Why would you have to wait?, just get in line and launch/load when it's your turn.

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.

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?

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

Football is for those that don't know how to fish.
