Maybe I'm alone in this, but I PREFER the day-to-day comradery that is pier fishing sans the competition for "money and prizes".
To me it says more to simply get together to 'break bread and give thanks' together than compete with one another.
Isn't there enough of that in the world already?
Well said.....
Im ready for it its going to be the first one i went to
I'm with ironman,#'r and divedeep on this one about doing one during the picnic. Now,as for tournaments in general,this is what I have to say... The tournaments were fun the first couple years because it wasn't crowded and for the most part we all knew each other. Now on any given morning I may recognize a quater of the people on the end at best. Sorry to be a tournament partypooper,but times have changed and I feel the pier is no place to have a one day event. Like Pest said in another thread,money can bring out the worst in people and I feel a person thats trying to catch a fish shouldn't be subject of being told "I'm fishing a tournament,get out of my way!",witch is what I whitnessed year before last. I can live with week or month long events because people will fish their normal scedule instead of everybody being there at one time. This is a public forum,just my thoughts.
If our schedule holds up we'll be rolling into town on the 26th, are non local forum members invited to the picnic?
Absolutely. Watch for a sign up list for food/supplies couple weeks before.
We normally do, but for you we may make an exception.Quote:

Thanks dive.
I'll be the entertainment. You guys can watch me try to catch a fish while you eat. LOL!Quote:

I have to say the picnic goes better without the distraction of a one day tournament. The intent of the picnic is friends and family getting together and enjoying good food and getting to know new friends. The only forum tourney during the picnic was a fund raiser two years ago for one of our pier family who was injured in an accident.
