Make the Entry 350.00 per boat. Draw style boater and non-boater, Go to Falcon and make it a 2 day Most everyone would have to travel, few would be able to pre-fish and everyone would have a great time. Especially if you got enough to fill up a hotel where everyone could hang out for the weekend. Fish Saturday 6:30 take off til 4pm and Sunday fish from 6:30 take off til 12:30 Heaviest combined weight and pay out a big bass for each day.
Just a thought
OK ... so
you got the format
you got the WHERE
how about the ..... WHEN
AND then get everyone or at least 25 boats and non-boaters to AGREE
Oh Yeah..... and WHO is going to ramrod this thing ?
do it Labor Day weekend ,,,,,,
travel on Saturday/ pre-fish
Fish on Sunday and Monday 1/2 day
draw Saturday night for Sunday
re-draw Sunday after weigh-in for Monday's 1/2 day
1/2 the pot for the boater-- 5 fish
1/2 the pot for the non-boater -- 3 fish
