Gents,

I think it is a great idea. Put your heads together and come up with something that we can pass around (whatever it might be). Once you figure it out, get up with me for the proceeds!

I've been kicking around some fishing tournament ideas that I will run by the guys (Jordan and Tyler) for next spring's event. I know they talked to me about some specific trophies they were thinking of.

Since we are promoting youth, it "might" be a good idea to include a youth tournament. Money might be better spent if we purchase "Kids" prizes. They would not have to be for the biggest crappie. Could be for the biggest fish, the most fish, biggest walleye... Really depends on the lake.

Another option is to get a good head count of the total amount of youth involved in an event (we should know ahead of the event) and purchase stuff specfically for them! The kids had a blast with their fishing rods and other items they recieved at Rose lake. It would be nice to continue the trend. As if MICDC is investing in the youth involved within our club!

Kick around some ideas. We could put together a rod and reel combo package for each kid, a tackle box, or other gear that each youth within our club could benefit from!
