Wednsday Nite Dog Fights - Questions

RE: Wednesday Nite Dog Fights - Questions

The more I think about it...the more I like the 2 fish limit. I really think it would be more competitive to have it that way. We might have a tie here and there even 3...who knows? But it would draw more of a non competitive crowd to the scales. I think thats what most important. Alot of people dont fish the fights because they think they cant compete. (i USED to feel that way) This would make it more family oriented not to mention great for kiddos too!</p>

Is the Monday DF going to a 1 fish limit Gary? You had mentioned that last time we talked. Who's gonna be running it this year?</p>

LANCE catches his share of fish, and i have no problem netting them. being a net man is agood gig if you can get it. I could care less who is catching them.

I doubt many more people will fish them regardless of the 2 or 3 fish limit. if it is turn out you want, you get more money in it. But your not going to get families to turn out on a school/work night. if you want parity have a spotted bass only tournament.

I like the 3 fish limit for a 3 hour dogfight. If you have one at the riverpark most everyone will catch plenty of fish. If it is on chickamauga the guys that fish chickamauga every night are going to beat you everytime regardless if it is a 2 fish limit or 20 fish limit.

If it is just for fun, have a trash tournament for 10 bucks a boat,,,,,biggest fish wins, no matter what species!!

Good points Joe. I'll stew this over.

Hate to say it Billy, but Joe's right. Guys have been doing this dogfight stuff for about 30 yrs. Ask Garry & he'll tell you everything you need to know. But also if you want to win. You have to put everything else aside & get out every night on the Chick. Why do you think it's called the Chick., if you don't give her all of your attention, she'll turn on ya in a hart beat! And another guy will have your spot.

That's probably the truest statement of the night! Familiarity is always going to help. But I thought Chick was one of those lakes that anyone with some skill could come in and get a chunk? Isn't that what made it such a great stop in the 80's for the masters?

Chickamauga is not an easy lake to fish. If you spend tons of time on it you can do some good things. I don't understand why you want to have it on chickamauga anyway. There are dogfights every night. I really looked forward to this dogfight when it was at the riverpark. Why don't we go back there and have a five fish limit. You want novice, family anglers but you are having them on a lake where only ringers can win?? Have them at the riverpark where everybody has a chance to catch fish.

I would fish a few of these but I get my kids every Wednesday night...How about throwin' in Thursday every now and then.

 

[beetlespin]

We can make the riverpark dogfights every thursday. That's better for me.
