Relaxed guidelines of some type would serve us well.
Thanks for your post Stu, and I'll talk to flycaster, but we never have had any specific rules for our slabfests reference start times and usually the host sets the end times. As far as the number of fish, it's always been five fish. I think it would be to everyone's advantage if they weighed live fish but some folks don't have live wells and they keep their catch on ice. Any of these conditions can be changed if the membership so desires. With that being said, I'm not sure how the guidelines could be more relaxed. Maybe some folks will post their ideas.
