Trip Planning Update

Trip Planning
Here's an update from today's lunch meeting and assignments on what to bring

Each person should bring a sandwich, snack, drinks form themselves, sunscreen, dramamine, etc.. In addition, each boat will need some stuff to share as listed below

Boat A:
Cooler - Tim
Camera - Jim
Yardstick - Ron
Egg Timer or Stopwatch - Ron
Scorekeeper - Kent

Boat B:
Cooler - Tomski
Camera - Steve
Yardstick - Ron
Egg Timer or Stopwatch - Steve
Scorekeeper - Steve

Since it will be sunny, each boat will need also need a dedicated "lotion boy". Traditionally this is the youngest member of the boat, someone with supple hands and normally someone in college.

We'll meet at Steve's house at 11:30 on Friday and determine car pools.

We'll plan on being at the dock at 1:30 so we can get fishing licenses and salmon stamps at the boat - they cost ~$6.00 for a one day license

Cost
The five hour trip costs $450 per boat ($420 + fuel surcharge)
Divided by six anglers = $75
Assume $10 tip per person = $85.00
Deposits received = $50.00
Please drop off the additional $35.00 to Steve by next Thursday

Fishing Procedure
The procedure is designed to let everyone have an oppurtunity to catch a fish, even the slower, lower ranked teams (you know who you are)

Each angler gets a 15 minute slot to fish (see order below) working all poles.
If you do not catch a fish in that 15 minutes, the next person is up
If you land a fish you are removed from the rotation until all anglers catch a fish
If a fish is on, but stuggles loose, you are still in the rotation.
Once everyone has caught a fish, the rotation starts over.

Fishing Order
The fishing order is based on receipt on payment for the down payment. Here's the order

Boat A:
1 - Ron
2 - Jim
3 - Merle of the two time defending champion Carp Pros
4 - Jeff
5 - Kent
6 - Tim

Boat B:
1 - Russ
2 - Chuck (filling in for Randy)
3 - Steve of the two time defending champion Carp Pros
4 - Tomski
5 - Patrick
6 - Tom

First Fish Bonus
Since there is no reasonable way to have a first fish bonus, the bonus this event will be the last fish in each boat. That way the Carp Pros can have twice the bonus of a normal week.
