#4596, "Invitation for Invitational Comments from BNT'ers"
|
The SCBBBC will be meeting this Wednesday, October 3 in Santa Rosa. A big part of our meeting will be planning for the Invitational. Based on John's recent post (thanks, John), it sounds like there may have been some concerns from last year. I think John may have told me what they were, but I can't remember what he may have said. In any event, if some BNT'ers have some specific suggestions that would improve the event or make it go more smoothly, please post or send me an e-mail at anaparsons@earthlink.net.
Thanks. Hope to see you folks on October 20. Since that's my birthday (I'll be turning 29), you guys can bring me lots of presents (money preferred, although expensive fishing gear is OK) and help me win the tournament by putting me on some big fish.

If 50 to 60 anglers attend, Rodman may not have enough parking for all the competitors. Launching at Library Park, County Park, State Park or maybe the Lucerne ramp would be much better.

I agree. Last year, with 35 people, Rodman seemed pretty crowded, making parking tight for blast-off & weigh-in. I don't know how important it is to BNT folks to blast-off f/ Rodman so that they have immediate access to the water. Rodman also is a relatively central location for the north end of the lake, although Library Park isn't bad either.
If any BNT folks read this & have comments re: blast-off location, please let us know by posting or e-mailing.

Josh, Swampy & John,
Thanks for your input. Now, the question is, where do you guys want to launch from? It's not a big deal for our folks, since most of us run anyway. We just don't want to have to make a ridiculously long run (say f/ the south to the north end of the lake). I agree, too, with Josh that, for folks unfamiliar with Clear Lake, it makes sense to blast-off f/ a spot where you can also launch, weigh-in & catch some fish.
What do you think of Library Park? With oars, you have pretty good access to the north side of the lake. Plenty of parking, good central location in Lakeport.
Lucerne is a bit east, State Park is somewhat west of ideal, central locations for the north side of the lake, although either would probably work. Where is County Park?

Our club discussed this at a previous meeting, & most of our folks wanted to keep the Invitational at the north end of the lake. Plus, some people have already made reservations at U Wanna Camp, the Mallard House, etc. So, it seems to make the most sense to blast-off & weigh-in f/ somewhere on the north end.
I haven't fished directly out of Library Park in Lakeport, so I don't know how the fishing is there. Many tournaments are held from there & release a lot of fish, so there must be some in the area. It has a huge parking lot & several nice launch ramps.
Feel free to throw in other ideas. Our club will meet this Wednesday & finalize the decision. Thanks.
