Did you ever think that not everyone in this province is aware of your tournament dates, so could be there believing they were there to have a quiet week of vacation with the family?

However, I also think that goes both ways, others can be respectful and courteous to the tournament guys that only ask for a couple hours a day for one weekend a year. It really isn't a huge inconvenience to anyone.

I just want to understand this for a second. If I showed up with a bunch of my friends and blocked the only launch at a lake, where you were with your family, for a few hours a day for multiple days at prime time you would not feel inconvenienced. Fact is I think you would indeed feel inconvenienced and I further think that most other people would as well. Hence my point about the location.

Have a Great Season Walleyedude.

If you were one guy tying up a launch for a few hours I'd pull you out of your truck and launch your boat for you so you could get out of the way...

Seriously though, to me it sounds like your just trolling for an argument, and quite honestly I'm done reading your petty reasons against this tourney. If you were inconvenienced by it and thats the reason for your arguing, too bad, should've just drove down the road to another lake and made the best of it...

Of course it's an inconvenience. All things considered, I don't feel it's a particularly big one, but it is an inconvenience.

I stand around waiting for people to launch their boats all the time. I wait in traffic for hours sometimes trying to get home from work. There are endless things in the world that I don't necessarily like and that inconvenience me. I don't like it, but I deal with it because I understand that others have different interests than I do and they have the same rights as I do. I try to live and let live. Rather than complain about it or try to impose my will on others, I try to just find alternatives for myself and make the best of it.

Tournament anglers seems to get a bad rap, and they certainly are forced to take a back seat to everyone else out there for some reason, I guess because there's money involved, but I can tell you this, if it was really about the money, there would be no tournament fishing in AB or SK. It's about the fishing and the competition.

There's some comedy! "Pull you out of your truck" I'm sure there would be some knuckle chuckin if someone were to actually try this at the launch

If anything the tournament angler already pays a far harsher price than the average angler as they lose their weight or get disqualified for doing something the average angler can do without consequences.

How are you paying a far harsher price then the average angler. Your the one entering the tournament knowing the consequences. That's a risk you are willing to take so don't say you pay a far harsher price.
