Back in November I had a serious 5 year old in the restaurant talking serious fishing. I asked him if he'd be interested in participating in a fishing tournament "just for little folks". 20 ecstatic nods later, we had ourselves a tournament. The big folks have pro-am fishing tournaments, so why not the kids? I know, I know, not many 5 year old pros out there, but what the heck, it just sounds right.
In the end we'll probably have 2 groups (Under 8) and (Over 8)
I've spoken to a number of the regulars about it and I think we have some adult interest. Kathleen and I are shooting for late July. A good friend, Ed Shinton from across the lake crossed paths with some reps at the Muskie Show down in Illinois last weekend and he's passed along their names to me. I'll be sending off emails tomorrow.
If anyone has any ideas, shoot me an email. I'm open to anything. I need ideas about prizes, shirts, equipment, breakfast kick-off, awards dinner, how to judge.
As for rules, I've only got one...it's gotta be fun!
