Maybe starting a new tournament in Dayton

[bigfish21]

I dont know that i can make it better than any others and i sure not trying to replace anything that is goin on in dayton now! It has just been brought up to me several time that we need a tournament that has more money to payout so thats why i choose to do this one. Also thought that if we had something that paid a little better that some of you guys from down around soddy, chatt and maybe north georgia areas might come up here to fish some to. I know that this past year we had a few come up here to fish from down there actually it was Heath Pack and Trevor that came up and fished a couple toournaments out of dayton and each time they did they may have won $100 a peice if that. I just dont see that being worth yalls drive up here to fish for that but now on the other hand if you came up here and could win $500 to $600 i figured you may be more inclined to come up this way. Which brings me back to some of the previous posts that we end up with a tournament with 40, 50, 60 or even 100 boats in it sometime in the near future. I really at this point have no desire to try to have a classic or anything and no membership fees so its just a show up and fish anytime you want to type of tournament.

Bass tournaments are a competion that awards the prize to the best angler or team on that given day. The only way I know of to make a Bass Tournament not be a competitive event were the anglers prepare and actually try to win would to give plagues instead of money to the winners.

THE ONLY WAY I COULD SEE IT GET BETTER WOULD BE TO FISH DIFFERENT LAKES NOT THE SAMEONE OVER AND OVER AND IN THE CBA THE LAKE IS NEVER OFF LIMITES LIKE THIS WEEK U CAN FISH EVER DAY WHY NOT HAVE A THREE DAY PACTICE THEN THE LAKE BE OFF LIMITS FOR TREE DAYS BEFORE THE CLASSIC

I wish james the best also, he fished the dayton classic with me, one of the best net guys i ever fished with...lol...there are so many things that alot of people dont realize goes into running a tournament but i will say this..James has been by mine and rays side since day 1 of our club and he knows what hes doing..I can promise each of you who fishes his events it will be run as fair and professional as possible..and i will also say the same for the new officers in our club..the vice president Tony Keltch (mike varner apprentice) ran 20 tournaments this year for us..for those of you who havent fished out of dayton before we can launch 8 boats at one time at full pool and have plenty of parking..4 boats at one time at winter pool..the creek by the ramp is tricky for about 1/4 mile but if you stay between the buoys youll be ok..The boat dock is open at different times with supplies but i am not sure of the hours...I own a pool room north of town and have a building next door I am going to try to put a small tackle shop in soon...When james and the club tournaments start up come fish with us in dayton..you will enjoy it i promise..

I would say that 90% of the CBA competitors only fish CBA's, same goes for the Dayton bunch, they only fish tournaments in Dayton. Theres absolutly nothing wrong with that. It all pretty much comes down to how bad you want to fish and compete in tournaments, doesn't matter how far it is, what the payout is, if you want to fish bad enough you will drive cross country to fish a mudhole with no bass in it. As for me, I'm one that will drive to fish the mudhole! Point being, if people want to fish a tourny they'll show up, if not, they can sit at home watch bassmasters and talk about it. Good luck with all the tournaments and hope everyone has great turnouts.
