I did a lot of "complaining" after the Niagara event and all of my legitimate complaints were addressed and corrected. They are doing their best and are doing a great job. These are not complaints but I do have a couple of more suggestions though
1. Allow Open teams to weigh in by 1:30 or 2pm instead of 12:30. Give us a little more fishing time and since we only weigh 3 fish it goes really quick. It also would keep more open teams around to watch the weigh in and ceremony. Right now there is wayyyy too long of a gap between the noon weigh in and the 5 pm ceremony.
2. Allow anyone including charter captains to fish the open but have this rule added for all teams: Boat must be less than 28' in length (or beam less than 10' in width) per manufacturers specifications. That way, the open weekend warriors with small boats would not have to compete against a 38' boat with a 14' beam. Not sure if any huge boats fished the open but it would prevent it from happening in the future.
