With the start of the new season. I want to make sure you all take a look at the 2003 rules, since there are some changes. #20 is important if you show up with out a light you will not be able to blast off till 15 minutes after everyone else goes.

The white light i am using can be picked up at west Marine, but I have also seen them at K-Mart, and sportsmart. I is small and runs off of 2 D-cell batteries.

Looks like there's a word missing in Rule #20: should it say, "*be* in position..."???

Also, re: the B.A.S.S. Federation rules, are we going to establish a meeting schedule, per their statement about regularly-scheduled meetings? (I would think once a quarter would suffice, or just say we meet at the tourneys -- or maybe at just the 2-day ones)?

IFISH say's,

Where can i find the head strap head light ? You know, the light that straps to your head. More inportantly, where can i find one locally ?? How Much are they ?

REI off Auto Mall Pkwy south of Fremont probably has them.

Wal-Mart, Sportmart, Bass Pro Shops, Cabela's, Mel Cotton's?

I presume a headlamp qualifies for the 'white light' requirement? Or does it have to be affixed to the boat?

Thats the one i want as well....what REI?

The head lamp is fine...its what I will be using as well. I just want everyone to have a white light on for 15 minutes after I call safe light. How you do it is up to you.

Here is the store in Fremont

Petzel is the brand of the good ones. You can search for "Petzel" on the REI website and see all kinds of headlamps.

Big 5 also has them.
