I think that people already push the limits as far as kicking or rowing over open water regardless of the running rule. M & M campground to Rattlesnake Island for example. State park to the point south of it (I cut across instead of following the shoreline). Or across the main lake at Nacimiento.

With regards to the original questions: My primary objection to running has beenthe legal issue of transporting live fish. Running in a boat eliminates that objection. I still don't like it for other reasons but would not object if it were legal.

Someone brought up the point that running makes our tournaments more like a boat tournament. Why is it desirable to be like boat tournaments? Is it because some or many feel that a float tube or kick boat is a step on the way to fishing boat tournaments or becoming a pro?
