CFF #3

Ok guys whats the plan for the next tourney? We keeping it at the riverpark? moving further down on nick? or swapping to chic?

 

[flyman]

I believe we announced Sullivan’s

 

[davisjeremy1981]

Don't see anything posted...I don't remember us announcing anything at the weight in but it was such a mess at the ramp I didn't make it to the stand til late

 

[Dropshot]

I say Sullivans. Recommend we keep everyone scattered...maybe even go in flights.

 

[Dropshot]

Here is a thought...how about a trailer tournament on Nickajack?

 

[Justfishin]

We could have one member of the committee at different ramps to sign people up. But I think Sullivan’s is best for most. We just need to have everyone spread out during weigh in.like Patrick said come in in flights or hold fish till there are only couple people in line.

 

[elwestb]

I vote Sullivan's simply because it's in the middle of the lake. It's about the same ride for those that want to go up toward the dam or those that want to run down toward the lower end.

 

[Dropshot]

Lee has issued an EO so holding anything were 10 or more are gathered together is now considered a no-no as of yesterday afternoon. Thoughts?

[flyman]

Di we need to cancel or postpone? I seen also where HBSP canceled all tourneys out of there

 

[Dropshot]

I think we should consider it for safety and legality reasons.

 

[flyman]

I agree..

People are going to be at the boat ramps all over the country regardless and just going fishing. Is that a gathering? I know that's not a scheduled event or Tx. gathering but it is still a group of people. S&K had a Tx. Sat. out of HB. Then there were two out of Sullivan's, one out of MC and then the CBA at Grasshopper. HB told Tim Long that they would not issue any more permits but other wise they would honor the current permits already issued. Has that changed? If you guys want to cancel the Tx. that's fine with me. Majority rules but I don't see the need for it. Just don't be hugging and shaking hands with everyone!

 

[Justfishin]

I am in the middle of what to do. I see no problem with fishing in general but weight in will be the problem. Everyone watching and lining up to weigh. If there was a safe way to do that I would be ok with having it. There Are people that dont think gathering together will spread this thing but that’s how it is spreading so fast. The only thing I can think of is have two people do wieght in and no more than three people in line they can put their fish in the box an we weight it then they take the fish out. The problem is getting people to do what we ask. I am ok to postpone it if that’s what y’all want to do. So I’m no help lol

 

[elwestb]

I just do not view this a s a gathering or meeting. It is not an in closed area or a room. I'm still seeing people going into the banks, pharmacies, grocery stores, convenience stores and buying gas and that seems to me more of a gathering than an open air weigh in. Ronnie votes to keep the Tx. at Sullivan's too. But we will do what ever you all agree on.

 

[flyman]

Effective at midnight on March 25, 2020, the following businesses will be required to close:

Indoor areas of shopping malls and all retail stores
Salons, beauty shops, and barbershops
Massage parlors, spas, tanning salons, and tattoo parlors
For those workplaces that do remain open, all workers should have their temperatures checked by their employers upon entering and exiting their place of business. Employees who are feverish should be immediately sent home to self-quarantine and seek medical care.

Additionally, all public gatherings of any size are to be suspended until further notice, including worship services, funerals, festivals, fairs, and public performances. City parks are still open but public access has been suspended at City playgrounds, basketball courts, baseball fields, soccer fields, the Chattanooga Skate Park, and the hockey rink for now.

 

[Dropshot]

Need to put it to a vote gang. Not sure of the ramifications if we get caught, or Lord forbid, someone gets the bug and decides we as the tournament committee are liable. Vote Have or postpone!

 

[davisjeremy1981]

We fish. Out of sullivans. that parking lot is big enough that people can spread out and we have them stagger their weigh bags so we don't get backed up at the weigh station

 

[flyman]

Postpone

 

[copyman]

If we're going to have to play mixture of twister and hopscotch to get this tournament in, let's just postpone. The "so many" people here and "just this many over there" is annoying.
