I have no problem with the tournament on the lake. But I do with the 1 pole limit. It just wont work. You say we must abide by IFG rules well I can have 5 rods with 5 hooks per line. Your restricking my IFG rights by not allowing what I can use by the IFG regs. There is way to many way's for people to get around this. If I'm in a tent big enough for more than one person and those are not fishing the tourny they can have 5 rods with 5 hooks per line. I put my one rod in the middle of those 10 or more rods and that just makes more bait in the water and more of a chance to lure in more fish. My one (or 2 for 10.00 extra) mite be the one that is the hot pole or not.
The weather can be very bad in that neck of the woods and I take the family with me when I go fishing. Your telling me that I have to stay out in the weather so I can fish 1 pole 25 feet away from my son so my 5 year old can stay in the shelter unwatched so I can attend my 1 rod all by himself? As I stay out in bad weather? I think not. IFG rules state that all poles must be attended you can not do that by being somewhere else other than with your "rods". If ya say leave them home or buy them in, Not worth the money and fishing in my book is a family outing. As for someone being from Utah putting this on not a big deal but it is a big deal if I win a prize and have to go to Utah to recive it or use it. BUY IDAHO prizes and if a person from another state wins they can stop by that merchant to claim the prize (something like a gift certificate). I'll let this be enough for now but I will add more as this post continues.
By the way I am a Tournament Bass Fisherman and travel all across the North West to fish these tourny's. All prize's can be used or received where the tourny takes place. Once again BUY IDAHO and you mite get more people want to enter the tourny.
