There was some chatter last Fall on the site about organizing a Northeast Canyon Tournament. It certainly seems like we have enough members that would be interested. The challenge seems to be the logistics. I'm looking for opinions and ideas.
1. The idea of having a 2 or 3 day tournament where all boats dock in the same area seems to be unrealistic. Ideally, this would be a lot of fun to get to meet everyone else and to have everyone leave and come back to the same port. The social benefits to tournaments are half the fun but it doesn't seem doable since everyone is so spread out. Thoughts?
2. Plan B, at least for the first year, to see how it works, if we could do a three-day canyon tournament (you pick two days to fish), where you could leave from and return to any port fishing from Cape Cod to the Washington Canyon. You don't get to enjoy the camradarie, but at least we could all share pics and weight of the fish through the posts on the website. I'm sure we would use the honor system for weights, etc.
3. Another idea might be that we could identify one or two ports on Long Island, two ports on Jersey, one or two in Maryland, one in the Cape, etc. You would be required to leave from one of those ports. I'm not sure that would create more of a gathering in the same marina....that is what I'm trying to achieve.
I was not thinking that this would be a money tournament....more for bragging rights!....but I leave that up to everyone else's opinion too.
I'm sure there is a better idea out there....let me hear it!
