Gold Coast 2007

That looks okay to me. I guess time will tell. You might consider the 18 Feb at Naci ' cause that would give us 5 in the Pacific region just in case you change your mind about going to Havasu?! Just a thought. At least we'll have the opportunity if you change your mind.

TomG · December 18, 2006, 08:29:46 PM

I thought as long as we fish five tournaments with Anglers Choice regardless of what region they are in we would qualify for Havasu?

Stan · December 19, 2006, 11:13:16 AM

Better check the rules! I think it's 5 in one region or 7 in more than one to qualify for a wildcard position.

TomG · December 19, 2006, 06:57:13 PM

Yea, its 5 in one region and we are in Region 2 but we will be fishing the Central division and the pacific division. From what I could tell you can fish different division and qualify through something called "choice division" or something like that.

TomG · December 20, 2006, 11:55:47 AM

Stan, I e-mailed one of the guys from anglers choice here is what he had to say about our schedule.

Tom you can fish 4 tournaments in the Pacific Coast and 2 in the Central. That will give you 6 tournaments in the Choice division. If at the end of the year you have enough points to qualify you can Fish Havasu or any of the TOC. It would be better for you if you could pick up one more tournament in any of the divisions in Region 2. That way you would have 7 tournaments. To qualify you only need 5 tournaments. It would be hard to qualify with just five, We had several teams qualify in Choice this year with 6 tournaments. If there is any thing else I can do to help let me know. Hope to see you at the TOC in Havasu. Vern

So we don't have to fish 5 out of a particular trial. Our plan will work and like he said if we want to throw in another tournament to up our odds that will work also. But we should be good to go with those six and we should be able to qualify throught the choice division.

Stan · December 20, 2006, 06:04:37 PM

Okee Dokee! I was just a little concerned while reading the rule, it's kinda like reading an AFI

.

TomG · December 20, 2006, 06:41:13 PM

That's what I was thinking last night. After reading all the rules again I just decided to safer bet would be to get clarification. So now I can fish the Gold Coast Feb 24th tournament at Cachuma. I won't be fishing the Jan lopez tournament though, I have a TDY the week leading up to the tournament the 22-26th of Jan. So I will just do alot of pre-fishing at Cachuma I guess.

TomG · December 29, 2006, 05:47:39 PM

Stan, there has been a change to the 2007 Central Coast Schedule. There will be a Cahcuma tournament on 21 Jan 07. I still won't be able to make that one though, I will be TDY from 22 - 26 Jan.

Also, central coast division has an "off-limits" from Monday - Friday but Pacific Coast does not. I wish there were margarita tournaments in Feb.

Stan · December 29, 2006, 06:38:43 PM

Which one are we fishing the most?

TomG · December 29, 2006, 07:51:49 PM

Off the top of my head I want to say Pacific.

TomG · January 09, 2007, 10:37:58 PM

Has anyone received anything in the mail from Glen?

Also, how much are the yearly dues?

calincalif50 · January 10, 2007, 09:18:09 AM

nothing yet. Probably the week of the meeting

Stan · January 11, 2007, 10:10:05 AM

Haven't received anything yet either. I think the dues are like $50!?! Something like that.

Dean · January 11, 2007, 06:10:54 PM

Yeah, I have the letter for the schedule of tournaments and meetings. I don't know about the fees. I figure they will tell us membership fees at the meeting.

Can one of you guys post some of the new rules and whatever else comes out of the upcoming meeting since I will not be able to attend.

Dean · January 19, 2007, 12:14:45 PM

I found out we can ask for a re-weigh if our fish are still in the basket... only thing is if the weight is lower, you have to take the new weight anyway. I wouldn't ever ask unless I was sure we had more like at Naci, so no problem there.

Tom, I talked to Bob about the posts, and he said no problem, just Fred never cared and would talk to others himself about what was working, and where they caught a big one!

calincalif50 · January 19, 2007, 02:19:39 PM

Why only the 1/2 day at Naci in June? Worried about others winning?

TomG · January 19, 2007, 06:15:06 PM

What other's are you referring to Cal??

calincalif50 · January 19, 2007, 09:44:55 PM

NON-Vandenberg types....

Stan · January 20, 2007, 06:19:37 PM

Am I a non-v type? I don't think I would ask for a re-weigh, I'm just concerned that they are writing my weight down by my name and not someone else's.

Maybe they'll get better at that this year. How hard could it be.

TomG · January 20, 2007, 06:21:09 PM

I still don't get it..........must have went right over my head.

calincalif50 · January 21, 2007, 10:12:01 PM

Maybe the half day was because the officers in the club were afrain vandenberg, yes you too Stan, would take all the top places and just maybe hte $$ as well

TomG · January 27, 2007, 04:40:42 PM

I would agree with that, since we have been pretty much cleaning up at that tournament as a group.
