The one thing that should NOT change for sure is the same day/date rule......Midnight to 11:59. That was one of the most fun aspects of it.

I don't have a flexible work schedule during the week days but it was never that hard for us to make the dates work with opponents.

"Way back when," one of the more challenging things was the technical ability or lack of effort to get the fish caught reported on a timely basis. With the networks and phones/tablets today, that aspect will no longer be a problem.

We always did well in pool matches but eventually got tripped up in the playoffs......someone's money spot was always just a bit better than ours.

The photo of Jonesi's minnow bucket hat, as his proof of catch, still sticks in my mind. Point being, good times.

Slamr, I'd be willing to help. Give me a call to see if we could make it work in my schedule.

I think this sounds awesome. You are going to get more people to do it if it is more flexible. Get a good base of people going and getting it to work around their schedules then make it more competitive.

Just an idea for you to toss around in your head. I am very interested in this idea and I hope everything works out.

I would be willing to spend countless hours,throwing countless lures at countless spots in hopes of catching something.
Question: I live in Iowa and summer would NOT be good fishing for the most part. Would it be allowed for me to fish a lake like Leech instead since I go up there often? Or would that only be legal if the lake was in the region I am in?

wkeegobbler,

Historically, the region you were in was merely due to your address and general home fishing range.

A south region match up could be between a team on vacation on Leech and a team on a trip to LOTW, as long as the date was agreeable.

When will a decision be made? We have open water in Iowa already!

I'm in Iowa, I'm ready for some match fishing. I have one trip to LOTW and at least one more to a Minnesota lake planned so I could use those days as mine. If nobody is organizing it I can shoulder some of the responsibility.

If this goes ahead I would like in. Would prefer 1 day format.

I'm retired so if 3 day how would you prevent me from fishing 3 days and submitting my best? ( just thinking out loud )

I think if i formed a 3 man team 2 of us would usually be able to fish and also have the advantage of living 5 minutes from the water.

That's not an issue. We know how to make it work seamlessly, just haven't decided whether this is going to happen.

I'm in as a Team with Keith, and will help administer if Slamr and I can come up with a system that will work for 2015.

We will need a 'stats' guy. Anyone in?

I'd be up for being the stats guy. Would this mean coming up with the point system or just crunching the numbers. I'm a teacher, so the summers are free for me!

Just crunching numbers. I'll get Slamr to chime in.

One thing:

If you decide to fish...FISH! One of the problems we have had in the past is teams signing up for a pool and then just going 'poof'.

I bet we could fill a few pools.

Well, I'm all for helping out and keeping track of the points. I know I won't go "poof."

Steve, we can meet at the MN expo, as I'll be there all three days. I'll be with my 6 year old Friday night and can introduce myself. We can talk details Saturday or Sunday if your interested.

Sounds like we have quite a bit of interest in Iowa, maybe we could even meet at Brushy Creek or Clear Lake or the water of your choice and actually fish the same time and share a Brew, some BBQ and a few tall tales after. Sounds like fun.
Let us know if its a go!

Why not both? I would enjoy a meet up though, I'm brewing a couple of batches of beer tomorrow so give me at least a month. Also bottling my bourbon porter and cream stout soon.
