Championship.
Not for sure if I mentioned this recently, but there was some discussion as to making this Tournament a 5 Bass Limit tournament in light of the fact that this is our first club tournament on this body of water, the Huge potential of catching a magnificent bag of fish, Maximizing overall weights at weigh-in, and crowning a new 2012 SJHT Tag Team Bass Champion.
Provide your feedback regardless of whether your for or against this idea. Generally we would vote on such topics at the 1st meeting, but now that everyone is in fishing mode, I wanted to get your opinions.
Note: For the record, Although keeping a 3 fish limit for this tournament is somewhat the norm, by having a 5 fish option, it allows\opens up the nominations for end of season awards for submitting our clubs best 5 Bass Stringer to SJBCA. Thus another award\plaque\honor bestowed on a member\team within SJHT.
Give me your thoughts.
Thanks,
BN06
BN06, President |

I have a few reservations about making this a 5 fish limit!
For one The fish... With two boaters in most of the boats, 10 fish in some of the smaller livewells could put excess stress on the fish.
My 2nd concern i$ making this Tourney more valuable by inceasing the potental pionts one can receive! With the added cost of the out of state Tourney with License, fuel, tolls, and ramp fee... We may be forcing an out of budget angler to make a trip they really can't aford...
Just the devils advocate... Food for thought...

I totally agree with Jimbo. Very well put I must say. By that time, who knows the temp could be in the 80's or higher, and being those with smaller livewells, could put additional stress on a crowded livewell assuming there will be 10 fish in there, which we are all hoping for!!! If we keep it at a 3 fish limit, 6 fish in the well may not be as bad.

I have to agree with Jimbo here. If this is a 5 fish limit it makes this the most important TX of the year then.
With the smaller boats, we may not have a full turnout because of the size of the body of water. I am not even sure I am fishing this TX because of my boat size.
Not very fair and balanced in my opinion for guys with smaller boats. Most of us have never fished it either.
Then you have the whole 10 fish in a livewell ordeal. |

Not sure if this is an option for the SJBCA, but can we have a 5 fish limit for that, but only count the 3 best towards points for SJHT? |

I think its a huge disadvantage for the guys with smaller boats. If you want a 5 fish limit then I think it should be a 5 fish limit all year long. Just my opinion since Rob and Jimbo took the words out of my mouth. |

the guys with bigger boats are at a huge disadvantage at Union where the guys with the smaller boats can run their outboards, whereas the guys with bigger boats have to go electric only. there will always be advantages to having big boats, and advantages to having small boats. with that being said, im down with a 3 or 5 fish limit. either way im going to show up and fish. |

Food for thought. I've had my Carolina Skiff in the Northeast when I first joined the Pa club. I was kinda nervous the first time. The other club members told me different areas I could fish without going to far up the river. There are a couple of cuts right to the left as you come out of the launch area that have fish in them if the tide is right. There is also a canal that isn't far at all from the ramp area also. If there is alot of boat traffic on the water, it can get rough, and if it's windy even white caps! But like I said there are areas you can fish and make a day of it.

I still dont mind a 5 fish limit, but Jimbo's right. It would make this T to valuable points wise for anyone who cant make it.
Rob, your boats fine, Ive been out there in 3 times now and once in 30+ mph winds. That time was not so fine, just ask Brians back lol. There where some guys out there in 14ft
boats as well.
As far as boat size advantages, try having a 17ft that is to slow for Union and not fast enough for unlimited. 
Also, aside from Jimbo, seems like you glass rig guys always show up at Union somehow with a smaller boat with a 9.9 carbed up to a 15. |
