    That is unless you get stuck behind some Old Guy with his 8 Track Blasting out 60's Tunes running 42 MPH zig zagging all over the road to the music in a 55 MPH Zone and have to make up time when you finally pass him.....So maybe a penalty for speeding is in order the guys on the water may have had waves, debris or other delays they had to deal with.

    Is it allowed to hit the drive through on the way to a new spot?

    For those that have not experienced the great lakes, trailering is a sound decision, as Josey Wales said; "Dyin ain't much of a livin"

    Considering they have no "blast off" or ramp be to at for "weigh in" what difference does it make how that angler spends their fishing time? If they want to lose time loading, trailering and unloading so be it. On these massive bodies of water it's considerably safer for the angler, official and camera person.

    I'd rather there not be another thread about a search and rescue, or even worse a body recovery.

    Why put them in harms way in the first place by scheduling events on the great lake's if safety is so important? I'll be glad when this shit show is bankrupt and gone.

    Like it no need for added risk.

    Thanks for some clarity and a common sense answer to this thread.

    The Idea among some BBCers that when fishing a tournament you have to be "Risking Your Life" and "Suffering Immensely While On The Water While Burning a 1000 Gallons of Fuel" is Ludicrous.
