Hey guys and gals... Just wondering what makes a fun tourney? Does anyone care if it is a fun tourney? Do you only do it for the money?
The reason I am writing this is because I have only fished tourneys a couple years. I have fished with quite a few different organizations and clubs and have found some are fun and some are not ( its not just if I finish poorly, because I finish poorly at all tourneys). I like the tourneys where everyone speaks to each other, laughs, and just have a good time. I enjoy the competition of fishing and wanting to win rather than just gong out and fun fishing sometimes. Some friends and I sometimes go out and put $10.00 up for the day. That is fun to me. I would love to take my kids more often to fish a tourney, but at $50-$100 a pop I just don't have the money for that.
So... Here is a thought that I had. How many people would show up if someone announced "lets fish the James next week" $25.00 nothing official mainly just for fun. Just kind of curious. Hell could even do it for free. I just like fishing with a small group of people in hopes to get better. I am sure that there has to be others in this situation.
I once thought of yes, starting a tourney series called " VA River Series" to fish most of the rivers in VA like the James, Chick, Pamunkey, Mattaponi and the Potomac. I like to fish different places as well as the back yard.
Give it to me guys tell me I suck, am stupid, cant spell, boat B maniac, bent pole pattern fool, and just don't know &!@$. BUT I STILL LOVE FISHING!!!!
