    Too far from me and too many rules...Very good concept but I like the laid back nature of the bashes who gets the other $5? I mean who are you raising funds for?

    Seriously This board is all about sharing honey holes. lures, Techniques etc. It's about helping each other learn and teaching kids and folks who like your self can't catch 7 fish when you go out in an informal tournament setting. Too many rules? Just look and any tournament series out there, they would laugh at the lack of rules. The other $5 from each person at each tournament will go toward the picnic and trophies for 1st 2nd 3rd and big fish over all. Every tournament series has a discloser exempting anyone involved of responsibly in case of boat accidents drownings etc. If you have ever been in court for this kind of stuff, everyone can and will be sued! I just want to give back to folks who want to learn or who want to learn from each other.
    Lake Anna is not a small pond it's full of fish. Everytime I go to Anna I catch 20 plus crappie. There are so many areas that hold big fish it's unreal. As far as releasing the weigh in fish,Each day one can keep 25 fish each daily from Lake Anna. I'm just asking you to put back 7 out of 50. You may want to give it a try it could be informative and fun.
    This November 3 is a fund raiser to get started I'm printing flyers buying a nice, accurate scale, give aways etc. It's not who I'm raising funds for it's the club expenses.
    No hard feelings. If you don't want to do it you can just by pass the post, you don't have to slam an idea.

    ok Corker! whatever. It's about sharing info. And with modern electronics there are no honey holes on any body of water. Again if you don't want to do it or don't agree with it you can just pass the post without posting a response.Also I'm not asking anyone to give up their honey hole just general location bait and style of fishing.
    I don't mean to sound upset but it looks like if someone posts something that some people on the board does not agree with it gets balsted. Maybe I need to just take my info somewhere else to post for floks to decide if they want to come out.
