I here everone want to return to $50.00 do you not recall when Mike payed out 5 spot there had to be 25 teams LOOK 1st 300.00 sounds like its time to rethink that $hit

[SpeckWick]

I'm with ya there Larry. Keep it a $75. I only heard one or two say make it $50. Anybody who won a tourney this year with 15 boats and took home $500 will tell ya keep it where it is. Not sure how I feel about the idea of adding a Saturday circuit too, but we'll see I guess. Gonna make prefishing for Sunday either real tough or real expensive. You gonna come back and fish next year after taking a year off to regroup?

[Osker]

We've heard several teams say they left because of the 75.00 entry, but if someone plans to fish both sat. and sun. 50.00 would be better.

Mike has said for the last 3-4 years he could get some more teams to fish saturday... but most of his sunday teams could not, or did want to fish saturdays... I don't think he ment for teams to fish two days back to back... it would cost some teams alot in gas & time or they would have to get a room, more cost... 4 or 5 teams drive over 100 mile round trip each day now make it two days of fishing add a day to pre fish... good luck with that...

I know a few tourney regulars expressed concerns about fishing pressure on EF, I wonder what 2 tourneys in one weekend will do as far as that goes. Also it could create a problem between the guys prefishing and guys fishing a tourney, def potential for some nasty altercations. Maybe if sat tourneys were on diff weekends as sundays it would alleviate some potential issues. Just a thought

[fished-out]

It's also very likely you'll cut the number of people fishing individual tournaments; I could see regular 5-10 team tournaments, as folks split between the two days, assuming an increase in the number of teams doesn't offset the split.

thats another thing I wondered about is what would it do as far as turn out? is there enough boats showing up to even try this with the potential of some of them leaving sundays for saturdays.

I can tell you that from a financial or family harmony standpoint I can't do both days. So I'll have to pick one and Sunday's usually work much better than Saturday for me. Maybe I'm the only one, but I can't see it substantially increasing the number of boats. I think as someone stated, you're going to get less boats fishing each day. Saturdays also have the possibility of colliding with the Buckeye Crappie circuit. I wouldn't mind if it were a 12 tournament circuit with 6 on Saturdays and 6 on Sundays and having to fish 7 or 8 to qualify for the championship. I think then you can leave the cost at $75.
