Where would the increase in participation happen? AM side? Pro numbers would be even worse then they already are. Maybe you should start an AM only tourney during that time frame Rolmops. Give it a shot and see what happens.

Erie Deery is ballyhoo and Familiar bite is Herring. two totally different baits. Like NK's and Dreamweavers. Some days the fish dont want one or the other. Pick your poison it all works.

I will take it Andy. I will catch up with you this weekend.

You know that twitter posts are limited to 140 characters that include spaces. It does not leave much room to post a full report. Most Capts have a setting where it links all there social media together into one post so they only have to type once. So what might look like advertising to you probably is because that post is also on there Facebook page which is advertising. 140 characters stopped at Capts in my post. Just so you see how many characters you can actually type on twitter. The problem I have with it is if I was paying for a charter I certainly would not want to see the Capt on his cell phone making a post every 10 minutes about how great the fishing is. I would ask for my money back...

Ed, Thanks for your imput. I am not saying what we have is set in stone. Actually we are looking at several changes going into next year so as I said any imput anyone wants to give us please feel free. You can shoot Vince, Tom A, Kevin Yerge, Myself, Rick H a PM or an email most all of our emails are available off the internet. Or if somebody wants to be involved let us know. I think more annoucements at the host tournies is a great idea. We did have a nice segment at the WHI which I know you did not attend. But for sure we need more exposure and hype that what it is all about. See you on the water, Brian

Ed, This is good discussion. How do we incorporate all 5 tourneys with 3 different formats? And still use the big box number? The Oak is a 10 fish per day tourney then we have 2 12 fish per day tournies and finally we have 2, 6 fish tourneys. One at the beginning of the year when kings are the smallest and one at the end when kings are there biggest? And with the Oak format of only 5 kings your box will never be a huge 300 like you can score in the two pro ams. We are all open minded when it comes to creating a scoring system that can work and not require fishing any one particular tournament. Keep in mind the system must be able to work with three different formatted tournaments. We also want more then 6 teams to create a chase. If we have to have all 5 tournies as a mandatory involvement we are looking at 5 or 6 teams competing. Not really very prestegious at that point. THis last year we had 15 teams involved which is the most I can remember in recent history. We are all here to make this the best Overall Cup we can make it. Imput from the players is what we want. We are already looking forward to next years chase! Thanks, Brian

Same exact thing happened to me on a Baha I bought in Florida. Survey came back excellent. Boat was rotted to the core. There is no re course on a surveyor. The first line in any survey report is " This is the opinion of the surveyor" Bingo no recourse!

Updated 7/22/12 All comes down to the A-TOM-MIK invitational. Everyone has a chance to improve on one of there days and the bonus pts for finish is everything! They are paying 50% 30% 20% so there is opportunity to win some cash! Good Luck!

10 to 30 for me.

We all like to do a little PR for our favorite brand. Good Luck with your search and remember everything is for sale at the right price if you see a vessel you like. I know a guy who stole a gorgeous Tiara just by asking the owner a few quick questions. I didnt mean to hijack your thread.

There will always be haters! Most dont know Tiara's rot in the forward cabin windows. Sea Rays rot on the seam in the bow and there stringers are worse then Baha's but a Baha is a poor mans yacht and has gotten more press. I know just as many Pennys that have rotted as Sportcrafts and Baha's and Sea Rays. It is just what guys want to be honest about. Next time you are at the marina stop over to my boat I will show you a couple very solid hulls in a Baha and then we can take a walk and I can show you some boats that have had some serious work done. Your jaw will drop! Oh and bring your tape measure!

Being partial to Baha's you should consider the one for sale on here. If it is sound and does not have the M4A Volvo transmissions it is a better boat! Yea I said it Penny owners LOL!!! Dont send the lynch mob! You will not here the hollow sound the hull makes when a wave hits it. Seating arrangement for a cooler on deck is better. Taller gunnels as well. The only thing you would need to add is oversize rudders. But you would have to do it on the Penny anyway. There is not a better trolling boat in the trough. There is also more deck space square footage.

FINAL standings from the teams who are competed in the Lake Ontario Championship Series for 2014. Recap -The winning team was determined by adding their top 4 individual days of fishing (Each day gets scored separately in a 2 day event) -Each team must participate in at least 3 lake wide events out of 5 total -At least one score from a minimum of 3 events must be counted to qualify. -Due to the logistics of ports and the emphasis on holding a "lakewide cup" one event west of Sodus must be one of three fished. https://www.facebook...385407701604030 ~Follow us on Facebook for more info~ Events listed as follows: Potential placement / Team / WHI / Day 1 Oak / Day 2 Oak/ Day 1 Oswego / Day 2 Oswego / Sodus Day 1 / Sodus Day 2/ATOMMIK Invite.

It was a Hybrid. It was a great looking fish.

I put new ones in every season. Just not a an issue I want to deal with. Try that first.
