F.M. WALLEYE TOURNAMENT

[Guest]

I think that sounds great!

But it would work much better for me to fish this time of the year.
This is the dead time for the RCL In the spring im gone every month fishing and when im not I NEED to work!
Yet I would really like to be a part of this!

Pool 4 you can catch fish usally year round, its slow right now because of all that rain they got in the cities over the last few weeks is here.

But still catchin fish!!! And the high water will be gone soon I HOPE!

If it doesnt work it doesnt work thats OK, But I hope to see it happen this time of year even in the next couple monthes...

Fishnaddict and Brian you guys is reading my mind! What Addict proposed is exactly what I was thinking. 15 teams to avoid the permit hassle and the pledging charity idea is cool too. I'm all for pool 4 too. If some other guys want to do the same thing at the same time somewhere else; go for it! Each team representing a charity is a neat idea too.

(As a seperate event a shorefish walleye fry get together, say like on the Crow river would be fun to do too this fall. Just a thought.)

Lets see how interested folks are, maybe post this idea in the pool 4 forum, and see if it will fly. I also like September!

And I don't want to hear this, "bowhunting grousehunting hoo-haw." Both seasons last until the end of December so you can fish one day out of the whole 3 month season. It won't hurt I promise.

MM,
I understand the hunting concerns that time of year , I'm a die hard bowhunter myself... I can't pass up a good fishing event though..

I'm not administrator for this board or I'd move it. It probably should be discussed in more detail on the FM Tourney's and Events and/or Pool 4 (if that is where it is decided to hold the event).

I'd be fine helping to set this up - are there any volunteers to help me out?

- Saturday, Sept. 27 is the day I'd be voting for
- Lake City launch? (I'd prefer a launch site on the lake, maybe something further north?)
- 7 a.m. - 4 p.m. fishing time
- Starting position based on how much raised for charity (the more you raise the earlier your starting time)
- Full 8 hrs. of fishing regardless of starting position
- Not quite sure how to handle the charity portion of this? Pledges could write checks directly to the charity (I think that would work best).. Need $70 of pledges to charity before event OR a check from your team for $70 to charity. Along with $30 for angler payout.
- I would say that the $30 should be turned in with the application along with the name of your charity (set a deadline for all applications, first 15 teams payed).
- the $70 will be due at tournament time to the charity of choice.
- I think we may need to set a list of approved charity organizations to keep everything legit..

Any thoughts? Who here can committ to that date? If we have a few teams interested at this point I wouldn't think we would have trouble filling the rest.

Sounds like fun. How about Winni for a lake.
I hear you on the hunting in the fall, But every year we go up the first week of Oct. for a fall trip. There are usually 10-20 guys up there throughout the week, but have had a lot of fun the past few years.
