Oceanside tournament POSTPONED!

[gilrockit]

I think this is a good call, March is a very hard month for a lot of people. For myself there is Fred Hall, seminars at the shop I fish for and to top it off, I have to be at Bass Pro March 13 to do a kayak seminar @ 1:00 pm. I would love to reschedule Bass Pro but they spent lots of money in advertising. By not fishing the 13th it hurts my team and the standing that means so much to me. I was planning on fishing the 20th no matter what the conditions were and even pre paid for the event. I understand the safety of people and that should be the first thing. I would like to see the tournament moved to another day like at least a few months in advance When we know the weather will be good and also to give us some time to plan. But I'm one voice, I have never been one to complain its just an opinion I understand that if I can't fish ,I can't fish. I know I'm only one voice, I may not agree with the 13 but I will respect it, it just sucks that I can't fish.

Weather looks like it's getting better. Oh well better safe then sorry... Or is Andy looking for more time to pre fish?..... Just kidding, hope your shoulder is feeling better Andy.

I'm new to allkayakfishing.com, but I am a member on BD and I too was going to participate in the tournament, but I believe this is a good call since there is a chance of t-storms. I also am not going to be able to make the March 13th date and that blows! I hope the date does change to a different date, but if not I wish you all luck!

Remember that the dates we chose also were because of other tournaments and events we have going on, moving it to the 13th didnt interfere with anything else we have going.

Fred Hall has OEX backed up for some time after its all passed for you guys. Plus there are Islander trips and different trips/events that those of us helping organize it are going on. Its going to be hard to find a date that works for everybody no matter when we move it to.

I do see your points that 2 weeks notice is cutting it close for some of you, Its kind of like when people dont sign up until the day of the event and we have to make plans really quickly to accommodate for everybody
