Tourney Anglers-Question?

With the shorter days I’ve been tossing around the idea of holding a night time walleye tourney out of Everts in the middle to late February. Just wanted to see if there would be any interest.

I’m not to the point of having all the details worked out but here’s a few.

100% payout
Saturday night from 5pm to 10pm
Warrior Boats will be a sponsor.

Hey Brian, there is no night bite on pool 4 that time of year

Do you see any liability issues running a tourny at night in near freezing water?

I’m not thinking to many good things would come of it if someone had motor trouble or God forbids falls over board.

HEY BK ask BART about this or Brent. He mite of something to Say about this. r r rrr

Count me in BK.

I guess it makes sense now why you didnt come for dinner Saturday night. You should have, we grilled up some steaks from a couple 40 plus pound Flatheads I cleaned. Stay tuned more to come…….

I would definitely consider participating. The tough part would be in the scheduling. Most February night time excursions are planned last minute, hey it’s going to be nice this weekend, kind of trips.

Thanks Eric and Walleye 16, between emails, private messages and here, if the weather is good there’s going to be a better turnout then the Turkey Combo!

Count me in.

And regarding the liability issue BK, I think we can get that taken care of if need be..

If justin says im covered, im good….serious! Just make sure dean has my boat ready to rock before you pick the date.

Thanks Justin!

Carver, I have a txt message from Deano saying he’s fishing it. Might be with your boat!!

Count me in, too.

If Mr. King is fishing I opt out, watched that episode of TNB about 3x….this month!

Something I’ve wanted to do defentiely, see how work is rolling but I’d consider!

It sounds good BK!

How many cans of Spam will the entry fee be?

Still calculating that Belle!

If it was a paper tournament like pool 2 I would be interested.

Hey BK, I know it’s an Everts event but you should call it The BK Classic

Hey BK, I know it’s an Everts event but you should call it The BK Classic

Just got the nod. It shall now be known as “The BK Classic”!

As it sits right now, insurance is being checked on but that’s a done deal one way or another.

We know there will be a few that drop out because of dates or temperature, but it’s looking like we’ll need a permit.

Now to work on dates… which we might not have narrowed down until January and the other details.

Please keep posting if interested. Knowing the approximate number of interested boaters is very helpful!

I’m in!

Thanks Bowtecmike!

Question:

We’ve had a few folks ask for an “all night” tourney as opposed to a 5pm to 10 pm
or
6pm to 11 pm tourney.

What say you folks that are interested in fishing this?

Depends on the date but walleye16 and I would fish it but were pretty limited in feb. Some of us head south for a week to get out of the cold!!

I think I would be able to make it, if it isn’t snowing. Damn plowing.

Where does this idea stand? Still in the works? I’d vote for 5-10 or 6-11 vs. all night.
