John, I think this captures what was in the other thread a day or so after the show. It was fresh in our mind then. I would like to see these items forwarded to them! Some or all.
I agree. It was a great time. It should be something that will last a long time. I believe it will be bigger and better each consecutive year they run it. The trophies were really great.
Very befitting a great tournament that is, and will become. I will ditto some changes that need to bee made. And some I will add. I hope there is some power here to see that these ideas get to them!
1. You will definitely need a bigger tent from here on out.
2. May be some more vendors to help pass the time.
3. Speakers in the rear.
4. Lower the volume on the band.
5. Put the prizes and winners up on the stage where they can be seen and fell like the winners they really are.
6. Seating and tables.
6. I would like to see a Men’s, Woman’s and Children division added, with the one over all largest fish coming from any of these divisions.
7. And finely, the season needs to be longer. It would be fare to the people up north in the spring and fair to the people in the south of the program in the fall. The Sothern folks have the fish by May first; however they don’t get to see any of the fall migration in the tournament... I feel the real monsters of the tournament will come in the spring and the fall. May first to the last day in November would do it. For me, I would like to see it to the end of November!
If I left any thing out, please adlib. It would help if some one knows how we could get a list to them. I believe they care and would listen.
I think even they didn’t anticipate the turn out in the rain. I don’t know the final count of attendance; however one of the OTW reps told me they had approximately 2000 applications for the tournament.
That’s it. Later, L
