about delta tourneys and dangers are a couple things.

One, on the tourney deal - if there are a couple big tournaments going on it would eliminate that area to launch. The Delta has some good areas to hold things but things can fill quickly. Yes, there are many areas to fish and I enjoy it but still think the logistics of it could be difficult. But, then again, if John's organizing it I have no problems!

Danger - Those two times I've mentioned were VERY close. One came screaming through the tulles (blind) and missed me by about 15 feet. The other saw me and had all of middle river to go but still had to come within 10 feet of us. This was above the rock barrier. I'm not sure if it had to do with the two of us catching more fish than them but they were not very nice (to say the least).

Not trying to say no but just playing devils advocate. I like the Delta myself but would prefer to fish it in a boat!

I do like the idea of a Shasta tourney. Actually for some who live near the freeways it can actually be a shorter drive (time-wise) for BnTers than the SCBBBCers. Only problem I see is who would organize it.
