Ok fishermen, (This Poll Is For Fishermen That Has Been In This Tournament Before Or Like To Join This Event This Year)
I have been thinking about changing some of the rules for this tournament just to make things alot more simple this year and hopefully the rest of the years. I talk to Larry (Trout Tacker) about this and we decided that we would like to see what evryone had to say about this and take a vote. What I have is two new rules that we like you to all see and see what you think and like. Now if you guys just like to keep the same old rules makes sure you vote for that. We just like to keep this tournament simple and a better chance for everyone to win this tournament and have fun this year. Like someone sad in this web site. Keep it simple stupid! And I been thinking about it and agree with this great fisherman 100%.

So here are the rules for 2006:

Rule A:
1- Fishing starts at 5:00am till 11:00am (Must pull lines at 11:00am and get right in for weigh in)
2- Cost will be $30.00 ($20.00 for weight and $10.00 for biggest fish)
3- 6 rod limit
4- 2-4 man teams (If you have a 4 man team you must only catch a 3 man limit)
6- Weigh in 5 fish of anykind (Salmon,Cohos, Lake Trout, Steelheads, and Browns.)

8- You must know what is your big fish. No checking at the scales.
9- No Cull
10- No Tie Breakers

I hope nobody is going to get to upset with this poll. We just like to make things more simple at the weigh in. Everyone should still have the same fun as all of the other years that we been running this. Please make a vote and put your .02 cents if you like to, we will be putting a sign up sheet for the tournament starting May 1st. I know next year I am going to make the West Michigan Fishing League rules different and more simple. Just cannot make the change this year because I allready have the rules set.

Good luck fishing in 2006,

Rich

I like rule B

Just because it is alot easier at the weigh in.

Do not to have to worrie about points system no more.

Everyone will have to work a little harder to get there 5 fish. (More of a challange)

It is just plain simple. (Weigh fish only)

I like C best, If you are fishing Manistee on labor day, Kings are the top catch, and I like to see each team weigh their 5 biggest, almost all teams usually have 5 anyways! I really don't care much for the point system.:)

Please remember fishermen,
This poll is for the fishermen that has been in this event since it has started or would like to join us this year. This poll is set on public so we all can tell who voted. Other wise your vote will not count.

Hey Spankey,
Thanks for your vote for the rule change, this is a big help for Larry and I to make everyone happy and have fun. I like both B and C, but like the 1 Man DNR challange better. Well lets see what happens at the end. Hope to see you at the brown blast.

I voted "C".
I don't like the DNR limit for the simple fact that most times of the year it is a craps shooot as to what you are going to catch when.

And the weigh-ins are so much more impressive if you can weigh in five fish over three.

The points can stay or go matters not to me on the points. It seems a lot of the bigger tourney's don't give you bonus points for typse of fish but give you a 10 point bonus PER fish. So a guy who was able to boat 5 fish would get 10 more points automatically than a guy that boated 4.

But C is the one I like out of our options.

Good Post Rich.

I really don't care. I voted for 'A' because I think fish should get a bonus beyond their weight. As Jim mentioned, others just award 10/fish plus weight, and I would support that to simplify.

I see that all 3 options in the poll have a "weigh 5 fish max." rule. That's fine with me, but someone please refresh my memory. Didn't we weigh up to 6 fish the last few years?

I vote leave it the way it was and lose the points. This is a FUN tourney where guys are supposed to help eachother while on the water encouraging others to come join the fun even if they are new to the port.

I say make it the best 6 fish, no cull, no points, any legal methods, 9 rods max. Even the small boats usually get their 6 fish to weigh.

The no cull rule would be a new one as well IMO. Some boats catch their limit of fish and then fish until 11 to upgrade their catch. A 4 man team can catch 12 kings to sort from, while a 2 man team only catches 6 then they would be done. This would be an unfair advantage to the small boats for sure.

You also did not mention the 6 rod rule. I think we should use up to 9.

Thanks for your vote Butch,
Yes I do remember that we weighed in 6 fish, but when someone gets all 6 fish that are really big. It seems to fill my weighing basket to much and its getting to be a pain weighing the fish sometimes. 5 fish is just easier to get all fish in my weighing basket.:D

Can't wait to see you there this year,

Keep it the way it is... but lose the points system! Most tournaments go by total weight anyway. I would also not be opposed to 10 points per fish. I guess this would be closest to "C". I guess it really wouldn't matter... weigh 5 or 6 fish... but I would prefer 6.

I also think it should stay a 6 rod limit... it would be a big disadvantage to those that only have 2-man teams.

Mr. Steinski... you might need your eyes checked!!! Maybe all that hot sauce (from the wings) is getting to your eyes!! :lol: All 3 options (A, B, C) have .....

3- 6 rod limit
I think we should get bonus points for the most number of crew members on board wearing chartreuse speedos!! :yikes: :lol:

Rich.... by the way... appreciate all the work you (and Larry) do for this great weekend up in Manistee!!

Hi Tim,
Yes there is new rules thats why I put it down yesterday so everyone would get together and help us out on this, everyone can still have a great time and do the samething as last year.

Yes there will be a no cull rule, there should be nobody throwing dead fish from your cooler back in the water because you caught a bigger fish. Release the fish right away if you think its to small.

When I weigh 5 fish its much easier to weigh on my scale than 6 fish.

A 4 man team can only catch up to a three man limit and not up to 16 fish.

And yes I did mention the 6 rod limt for all of the rules, I like to see the 9 rod limit to but would be unfair for the 2 man teams.

We need a vote from you Tim on the poll

Thanks,
Caznik

Thanks for your vote on this. All we want is to make everything fun and simple for this get together.

Why I have 5 fish only to weighin is because your team is going to break my wifes laundry basket one of these days with 6 fish in it.:lol: Five fish is much easier to weigh on my scale.

Thanks again,

I always considered a culled fish as one that is released after caught, whether now or later.

I vote for the new rule "c " but would like to add 10 points per fish no matter what species, but no big deal either way, it would just make things a little more interesting because if some one caught 5 small ones he could still place over someone who caught 3 big ones, which I think is a good thing ,opens it up to more chances for everyone. See ya all up there!

Voted A.
I've always liked the point system for the harder to catch fish. From the fun tourney side it's always exciting to land a Steelie and figure out if you want to weigh that or the king you have, or might have, in your box. Also gives me a reason to fish after I've landed my limit of kings so I can try to upgrade my catch with a respectable steelhead. I think it brings a level of fun and excitement to the tourney.

I like the 3 man limit and the 6 rod rule.
5 fish sounds good. Don't want to break that awesome new scale.

I love this tournament. Although this is true with most contestants I wanted to give a special kudo's to the second place team last year even though I don't remember their names:sad: They hit a late day program with meat rigs in shallow near the end of fishing last year and reported it on the radio right away. I couldn't take advantage of it but they found the fish and let everyone know quickly. Really represented the objective of this tourney.

Stein,
Me and Butch got screwed up on that no cull at the first dreamweaver challenge. We didn't think we could throw any fish back so we limited quick on small kings. Learned afterwards you just couldn't throw back fish from the cooler. Although I think that's against the law and certainly against good ethics so I don't see the need for the rule.

Hi Tgafish,
Thanks for your vote and your two cents. Yes I know what you mean by excitement of the tourney by the rule A, I like it to because of it. That is why I put this posting up to see if you all like the old rule and keep it the same or put in the new ideas for rules. We just didnt want to throw the new rules at you all and get anyone upset with this. The new rules will make weighins much more faster and easier for the guys that have to do it. Maybe the no cull rule I better take votes on to for these tournaments. I just dont want any of us fishermen to be throwing dead fish back from your cooler in the lake because they caught a bigger fish later. Let me talk to Mark about this no cull rule.

Thanks Tgafish

The no cull rule should be: no fish that makes it to the cooler/livewell, can be taken back out untill the end of the tournament, which means, if you want it, keep it, if you don't release it imediately without harm. If it turns into a floater, go back and get it!

Even if its swimming around in a huge livewell, too bad so sad, you make the decision, you keep the fish!

Just my ethical opinion: release must be imediate either way, only choice is, into the lake, or the cooler!;)

As a new guy and small boat angler, I feel I am at a dissadvantage to those boats with 4 people on them. They can catch 12 fish and weigh in 5. My buddy and I can catch 6 fish and weigh in 5. They have 6 more fish to upgrade with, 6 more chances to get "big fish". Now possibly 9 rods...... In order to weigh in 5 fish, my buddy and I have to keep the first 5 we get, then the last fish is a bonus. Others keep the first 5, catch 7 more, then on the way in pick the 5 best from all of them.

I don't have enough room for 4 people on my little boat. I am going to try 3 this year but it's going to be crowded. I'm running 6 rods now and I don't think my boat or experience level would allow me to run 9 rods.

This may not be popular and coming from the new guy, but what about a handicap system that gives my 5 fish an even chance.

Then of course I am really #$%^& if I fish by myself, I can't even weigh in 5 fish. (I know, find another rider, post it, ect....)

Spanky
03-06-2006, 09:39 PM
Actually you can keep 10 fish, and the boat with 4 can keep 20, as long as you find some coho's or steelies. lakers ect. No one said you have to keep your first 5 fish, its a crap shoot, just make sure you catch some big fish, simple as that! This tourney has been won by a two person crew before!:) Right Don? I don't know if it has been won by a 4 man team before, but I have been along on a 3 man crew with Donny and we won it twice.Both times we had to make decisions on wether or not to keep fish at the time we netted them, or to let them swim, and hope for a bigger replacement. I have fished a few tourneys where this decision has also bit me in the butt!

I think the majority of teams are 3 person teams, if you have smaller boat, maybe you can get aboard a bigger one with someone else.:)

STEINFISHSKI
03-07-2006, 06:25 AM
There will not be 9 rods allowed, only 6. For a couple years some have lobbied for 9 rods to no avail. Once you get a 9 rod program, it is very tough to only pick and run 6 of them, but it is still fun and you can work the other rods into the program.

A 4 man crew can only keep 15 total (or 12 kings) per the rules of the tourney.

The no cull tourneys I fish there is no cull or release of fish at all. I let fish go at times depending on the hook location, duration of fight, and water temp. I also let some nasty looking ones go that I would have no intentions of keeping. This is where a 4th person is handy to allow 3 more fish to sort. The last few years on Team Trout Tracker we have been the first back to the pavilion due to quick limits of fish. I could go either way on this rule for this tourney.

Ya Spanky thats what I thought the no cull rule was. At least in my mind thats what I thought of it. But the no cull rule is something different that I found out today. So I am going to make another poll and see what everyone wants out of the no cull rule. Make sure you look at it.and vote.

In the rules for a four man team they can only catch a 3 man limt of fish and that is only 15 fish. When you have a 2 man crew you have to make alot of desicions on what fish you want to keep, so if you caught a small fish you better throw it back if you think it will not win the tourney. The best way if you can do it is get a 3 man crew if you can do it.

That was myself and MoneyMan11, team Reel Obsession. Someone asks us how we were doing at around 10 to see if we could defend our championship. I replied with something like "no chance". . .then we took the desperation turn east and hooked into three big kings in 40-50 fow. We took a little grief at the weigh in, but we were not even going to be weighing a full basket with about 40 minutes to go.

Oh yeah. . . .AND LOST OUR COOLER LID.:lol: :lol: Which, thankfully I noted how dumb we were on the radio and it was at the launch about an hour later. Guy just heard we were part of the m-s.com tourney and let someone know.

I'll bring white chili this year.

By the way In....what's your "real world" name?.....Milt here.....when you see the posting of the details for this year's event the thread will be ongoing and a lot of ragging and back and forth will be posted. Don't be intimidated by our bantering. Some of us have been doing this for several years now and have gotten to know each other quite well, having also gotten together at other outings. You just read along and join in the BS.

By the way, stay away from DonP! He is a multi-time winner of this event (defending champ Don?) and has been relegated to using barbless hooks...well....he's been threatened with that....:lol:

I'd also warn you about Adjusted/Steve, one of the owners of Fishdog.com the tourney's one and only sponsor. He's been known to have some life threatening, chilling, frightening adventures whenever he ventures forth into the outdoors. So far he's come away generally unscathed, but the same cannot be said for those who are nearby when he has a "mishap"................:lol:

This ones for learning so I'll keep my bantering to a minimum as to keep my foot out of my mouth. My crew will be myself the wife my buddy and his wife. Unamed as of yet. The four of us have been on several excursions and have had a lot of fun so this will be great. Who knows maybe we'll even catch fish!:fish:

Just like to ask everyone who has voted for the 3 different rules to let me know if they would like something added to the tournament. If there is let me know right away so we can get another poll on it to see if it will pass or not. Its looking like rule C is in the leed right now but I will not end this podting till this Sunday at noon. I have two more polls that I will be adding to see what you guys want also and that is.

#1----5 or 6 fish at weigh in- Id rather see five fish because it all fits in the weighing basket great. But if you guys like to still weigh in 6 fish it will not matter to me.

#2----Do you guys want a 10 point fish bonus for each fish you take at the weigh in.


Remember if you want to add something let me know so I can get it going. There will be no change with the amount of rods that you can run, it will be allways 6 rods. I know some of you guys have got all kinds of different weapons to catch fish out there and that is fine. You will just have to choose the day before I would take it to see what you have in mind.

Thanks,
Caznik

Not sure if I'll make it this year, but I favor "C".

I've never been a fan of the species points. Catching a nice coho is no different than catching a king, so why should they be worth 5pts less? And browns are worth a ton, but I don't know anyone who actually claims to target them on the big lake in August. They're pretty much just luck if you catch one. (And you could probably win with 5 pounds of stream trout under that scoring system because that'd be equal to five 16lb kings.) And what about the pink someone caught last year...?

Make all fish worth the same amount, just use total weight. I don't think 10pts a fish is going to make much difference for a Labor day tourney if we just weigh any 5 fish. (It would if you require a DNR limit) To win with the "C" rules you're going to have to weigh 5 fish.

If you want to reward people for catching trout, have a big steelhead contest too. No one is going to be out of this thing over another $5 or $10 in entry fee.

And my last issue which I know no one wants to hear is that I will continue to say I don't like the 6 rod limit. When I fish over the holiday I've usually got 2-4 buddies in the boat who only fish one or two days a year. I care a whole lot less about winning or losing that putting them on some fish. If this is truely a fun tournament then I'd think that it should be more about everyone catching as many fish as possible than winning. That said, I've fished a lot of Caznik and St. Joe tournaments, and judging by how tight-lipped some people are on the radio I know that's not how many of you think. I'd rather lose and see everyone catch fish than win $100 and see fellow MS.com bretheren come in with an empty cooler. Similarly, I'd rather see my friends get one more chance to fight a fish when I have rods just sitting in the boat. I didn't even use two of my four downriggers most of the even last year so I could run more cores.

I think you are worrying too much about this ,and the polls are...............:dizzy: I thought we were gonna try to make this simple! Lets not change the whole tourney.:evil: A little change is good, but to over haul this great event may be the wrong thing to do. I will vote on ALL the polls, but this is the first of march and we have 5 months before this tourney happens. I thionk some of you guys need to get out and actually wet a line, instead of sitting at the puter and fantasizing about it!:lol: :p

In all seriousness, we have a jewel of an event here, lets not change too much:rolleyes:

No Im not worried about nothing Sanky, Im just letting everyone get a chance to help me set the rules up there selfs by doing it this way. Also it lets everyone get a chance to have there 9 rods and so so if they can win the poll. Man I am having fun right now doing this. I think you better just get your spawn out this year and bounce it in the lake and try to win. There will be no more changes or no more polls that I can think off at this time. All polls will be done by this Sunday and we will have a set of new and fun fishing rules this year.

Oh maybe I better start a no cut bait poll again and see if I can win it here....:lol: ya right

I am going to leave it up till Sunday. But if I have time to work on it earlier I will do that. I think everyone had a chance to try and get the rules that they wanted by voting.

See ya soon,
