Pete, I was able to ascertain that there is NO minimum amount of boats necessary to offer those payouts for this proposed overall West end cup. That is a heck of a "carrot", even if they can't get past the open comm nonsense and all the problems and gray areas that presents. We will be there and support both events but definitely appreciate the return to the no comm format going on everywhere else on the Lake. Lady O likes it quiet other than drags screaming and stereos blasting. The payouts in each of these 2 west events DOES depend on the number of entrants, so heed the upcoming deadlines if you want to participate.

Kudos, Matt, for stepping up. This needed to get firmed up. Fishtails, your posts are dead-on. This area has turned into a vacation for our families and a work-cation for us. My clients/friends have their lodging booked. There is alot of dedicated, sharp people there willing to help out. This just needed exactly what happened. There are many on this thread clamoring for an event, I'm sure they will talk it up and promote it. Damn, it's the only time I get to see Bruce, Randy, and their highly skilled team any more! This will only benefit the area including the tackle shop so lets all work together. See you in July.

2013 west pro/am's
Capt Vince Pierleoni replied to fishman08's topic in Tournament Talk, Shows, Events & Seminars
I'm confused too. I see where there is a "tie in" with the O town awesome "No comm" Pro-Am, so perhaps the contestants wishes were heeded??? The original, prestigious Challenge Cup consisted of "No Comm" events. That cup disappeared. So I guess the Cup last year was "open com" cup? Could this years version be the "combo cup" ? No boat to boat contact means no boat to boat contact, physical, communication, or whatever. Can we dream? LOL -

Cornelius, Having a 22K pound vessel, there have been numerous times when I wished we could finish up and come in at the nearest port. Down west here it's always a tough decision for many whether to select Olcott or Wilson, based on where they THINK the fish will be. It was one of the primary reasons why the founders of the Pro-Am style event, Lowrance electronics, had a entry cutoff date. Having everyone wait until the last day to enter based on where their "bite" was, would create logistical and manpower problems, not to mention dockage problems. It's all part of the strategy when planning and teams have to weigh convenience vs potential success, but it has always been return to the port you depart from. If O town is getting back to the foundation of how these events were started, then thats how it will be. One wind change and your disadvantage one day could become your advantage the second day. Thats the beauty and challenge of the 2 day format.
