Its a great event and it dont matter to me when it is I will be there. All you can do is do it when the sponsers are available.

What I cant figure out is why people who dont even fish it care when it is.

What if they go with November next year and its one of those wild winters and its 35 degrees that day. That would really draw a crowd.

The Fun Fest was killer. keep it the way it is. Don't fix it if it isn't broken.

Can't wait for next year!

Thx for the kind words and the feedback. Dan is right about the sponsors, without them we don't have much of a tx. Personally, I don't disagree with Plan B; most of the people would be fishing anyway and I personally would prefer planer boards and flat lines. But it's all about perception, we can't have floaters all over the place in front of the sponsors and then talk about conservation. The club will consider all the options after conferring with our sponsors before we come up with a new date.

My thanks to all the participants. I would also like to thank all the people on the committee who worked so hard to pull this off. It is really amazing how we all pulled together to make this happen. There were literally thousands of man hours that went into this. It is only with the dedication and attention to detail of everyone involved, that this was such a success.

Anyone who wants to learn more about fishing, meet some of the finest people around, make some good friends, and get a chance to give back to the community which provides us with a wonderful fishery should come to one of our meetings and check us out.
