How about if BNT held our open in the delta and SCBBC held theirs at Clear Lake? Even if we did hold the open at the delta I would still like to fish at least one tournament at Clear Lake; it is about the only time I make it up that way. I vote for giving the delta a try at least once.

You raise some good questions however I think the Delta is big enough that logistical issues could be worked out. Some specifc responses:

* a bit farther for some - It would depend on where it was held of course and of course it would be father from some or most SCBBC members. Clear Lake however is twice as far away (or more) than the delta for most BNTers.

* Running - a *lot* of people run at Clear Lake. Maybe we could get an idea of the percentage at the open next week. Does anyone keep track of how many run/stay?

* Camp grounds - there are parks with camping in the Delta area. Not at Middle River but I am sure we could find something workable.

* Where to hold it - a good question. The delta is big so this would need to be discussed. There are however many, many marinas, parks, launch ramps, etc available.

* How many tournaments are being held at a given time - you fish Clear Lake and are asking this? The delta provides the opportunity for tourney's to spread out over a much larger area. When I fish Clear Lake I see a lot more bass boats than on the delta, tourneys or no.

* More dangerous - personally I haven't had a close call yet even in some of the busier areas. Current can contribute to danger though, for float tubes in particular so we should probably avoid areas with a lot of current.
