Next weekend pro/am tourny......

[campwheeler]

How many of you charter boats are getting in the open division?......wish it was mandatory to post the names.....hmm..that should be a rule....

 

[HAPPY HOOKER]

Why does it matter? We all fish in the same lake. Just bring your A game and if you kick their a&$ you get a minimum of 1 years bragging rights.

I have brought up this question   .  Leave the open division for the newbies.

I fished all four opens last year and I don't really recall a lot of charter captains/ boats in the open division anyways I won the last one and got big fish and also fished out of oak orchard so my fishing time was shorter than most

Just fish it

haha that right there is funny.

[hawkeye625]

Size of your boat and a captains license won't help you boat 20 pounders.  Time on the water and a little luck will.  Just enter and fish.  Anyone can win.  Box 3 mid teen fish and you'll more than likely win some cash.

I thought if you were a charter captain you had to fish pro

[bandrus1]

I disagree.. Bigger boat is three riggers vs 2 so I think that's an advantage

[Fishtails]

Some people.....ya just can't reach !

Please tell me that's just a funny comment. Right?

[bandrus1]

Yes and no... I think a wider beam is a slight advantage

[bear]

stop complaining and just fish.  No body makes any body sign up for a tournament.

[Silver Fox]

Correct but were starting to split hairs. Its 3 fish, not a boat load. Its a cheap entry, not a million. If someone doesn't think they can catch 3 fish, maybe they shouldn't play. These days Everyone wants stuff handed to them as easy as possible and that includes fishermen. What the heck did everyone do before this site?

Size of the boat means zip...sick of this argument.   Back in the days of the challenge cup anyone know what the smallest boat to win the pro cup was?  22 Center Console...at the same time a 31 was winning the am side.. It is all about program guys.  1 rigger or 6 it makes no difference if you don't know how to use them..  Either fish these events or don't.

If someone thinks they are capable of being a charter boat captain then they shouldn't enter the open division. It's supposed to be a grass roots level to get people interested in fishing tourneys. Not to intimidate them by jack-potters. There are enough $100 one day events throughout the summer for anyone to enter. Keep the open division there for what it was designed for.

[Silver Fox]

Then the rules should be changed

Why does there have to be a rule for everything? It's like walking up to a baby and stealing his lollipop. Are there laws for that? NO!

I don't fish tournaments, but one has to question the integrity of event that allows pros fishing in the amat. division.

[JakeyBaby]

Just because you are a charter does not mean you can win a tournament...... and that's a fact!! If you look around also there are a bunch of charter guys with big boats that are using alot smaller boats to strickey tournament fish with. Less gas and much faster to get to where you need to go. That being said the rules are layed out the way they are so fish them or dont. But I do agree with Rick the open division is there to get more people involved that normally wouldn't, so let it do just that!

PS........Take my baby's lollipop and we are going to have a problem!!
