I think my father in law wants me to get in on this.
He is sending me your threads from Tidalfish Craig.

If he goes with me I will try my best to take part.
I have been lazy and I have not got my rub rail put back on so, I have not been able to get out just yet.

Also, we, my father-in-law and I will be out of town Thanksgiving weekend. So, we are out that weekend.

Welcome up Jetro! Seems a couple others dont like the thanxgiving date either. I would like to see everyone participate that wants to, thanxgiving doesnt have to be the date, heck we can do it any weekend in december, the week after christmas when a lot of people are off- heck I dont care. This is to be a tourney for you guys as well as me, so please forward or post any ideas. I went through a list of people on the csc owners board from a while back and am not sure some of the guys check in any more. (Bay-Runner 1973 20' c/c from mechanicsville- you still out there??? Hotline from Poquoson 23 c/c, waterlaw and charlie Y??? any of you guys know these folks could you please pass the info on???

I was trying to come up with a format but want you guys input. maybe lines in 7am and out at 2pm?? then maybe theory mtg afterwards??? (maybe hold one the day before with a captains mtg also???) entry fee??? one prize for biggest fish, or stringer, or a 1rst through 3rd??? A kids division??? Lets here some ideas and I can do some legwork(in between speck fishing trips of course) craig

Does not have to be Thanksgiving weekend for me either. I'll try to make it regardless of the date

I'm wide open as far as the date goes. As far as prizes and such, I think keeping it simple, i.e. biggest fish wins, would probably be the easiest route, what about ya'll? 7-2 sounds good for a time frame. Any other opinions welcome guys!

[DonnaSea]

I agree with Doghouse - keep it simple. Should be fun and not a lot of work for anyone..

The week of Thanksgiving is a nightmare!!!! There is a couple tournaments that week. But any day in November or December can be busy depending on fishing. As far as time I think if you want to beat the crowds maybe 5:00AM- 4:00PM for those who don't mind getting up early and want to make day of it. As far as divisions only 2, heaviest fish and something for the kids. You've got to have something for the kids. I don't really have a suggestion for a ramp but i will use lynnhaven, rudee, willoughby, dont really care for cobbs but i will put out there. Only ramp I've ever been stuck on.

I like the way you guys think- i am not into a lot of stress- thats why i want to keep it simple as well (simple is as simple does?lol). I like the idea of largest fish takes all and a kid division biggest fish takes all. I kinda like the 7 to 2 deal because of the darkness factor- gets light around 7 and dark at five . Too many people have problems with thanxgiving so we can rule that out. I made up a spreadsheet with boats/names etc today at work and forgot to bring it home, will do it tomorrow. as far as places to put out , i prefer lynnhaven only because i dont have a trailer and leave my boat in the water but I am game for anything. what about after tournament beer theories??? and maybe a captains mtg theory session the night before??? lol- ill check back in tomorrow and let yall know how many boats we have. looks to be 11 or 12 with the potential for at least a couple more. see ya- craig [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Have picked up two more boats this weekend- more updates coming tomorrow. I am getting a list of all seacraft owners I know of both for the tournament and any future events we might want to try and put together,)still working on the details- will post an update on dates times etc. tomorrow. It looks like we have around 14 boats so far From some comments Ive had so far the weekend after thanxgiving looks pretty good (how about you other guys?) Still trying to decide if top 3 fish or just 1 biggest fish wins all(another one I could use your help with) and i have received only one reply about a child/ division???Anyone else??) will post up later this week- hopefully we can finalize the details. craig [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
