Oak Orchard Open - June 6th-8th

[Yankee Troller]

Do "AM" teams have to have an observer also?

 

Yes

 

Observers keep the integrity of the tourney, and more importantly monitor the closed communication rule.

Any age limit? Think ill bring the kids and let them do this one. Sean

Now make boundaries and this will be the best tournament on the water

[Yankee Troller]

What's your reason for boarders?

[JakeyBaby]

I agree what would be the purpose of having boundaries??

[Gill-T]

Boundaries would be too difficult to enforce.  Given June can be a tough time at the Oak esp. with east winds that like to kick up....it would be nice to run to Niagara County or near the Genny to find good water.  The marina gas pumps like the additional business of no boundaries LOL.

Jason,

 

No reason to be sorry. I have heard this statement about boundaries from a number of fishermen. The reason Rick is if you have boundaries then everyone is fishing against the other team and not against the "boat'. All are fishing the same conditions. In rough water a lot of smaller boats cannot run 30 miles safely and some just cannot afford to do so. Not saying you should do it just letting you know what I have heard.

 

Overall a good job. If you need any help let us know.

[Yankee Troller]

I hear you Kenny, but it's a very tough rule to enforce in my opinion. I come from bass tourneys. Long runs are fun but in our world, with the speed of most of our boats, long runs cost you LOTS of fishing time. 

 

If you know of any potential sponsors let us know!

We have a number of particapants stepping up to support this event as sponsors over and above the entry fees that will be required to register. It would be nice to see others do the same.

Mark Lewsi - Devonian -$500

Richard Hajecki -Yankee Troller - $200

Gerry Felluca -Rebel - $200

Paul Czarnecki - Free Spirit - $200

Many tournament participants received an e-mail the other day about the Orleans County Pro Am being canceled. The tournament committee in Orleans County was unable to raise enough money to be part of the Western Cup, which combined the points from Niagara and Orleans County. Therefore, we were forced to build something a small town like Pt. Breeze could sustain for future events.

Any idea on the number of boats that will enter?

Nope....no way to tell without actual entries. However, all indications are pointing to one HECK of an inaugural tourney!
