Yeh, as much as I want to fish out of both, keep it separate

Wonder how many boat fish will end up shore now

My opinion, from looking through the awards on thier site, is that they are down at least one major sponsor "Boaters World" and they are looking for a few ways to boost revenue. third place weekly is now a OTW Prize pack instead of boaters world gift certs.

Also, the entry fee is up $5 across the board.

They might as well lower the shore multiplier to 1:1, cause that is how the slobs will be weighed.

Lets give it hell guys, and fight an honest fight.
