I sit on the tournament committee, manage the STWA website along with the Fishline and my wife is on the board as of recent, we are both aligned with getting things modernized and organized better. There definately needs to be a clear shift in thinking on the use of technology compared to how things have been done in the past, however for some people change is hard to accept and can be intimidating. I think though as Jim has stated that there needs to be a clear shift in how we present ourselves and how we run our programs. Our efforts need to be well balanced to meet not only the needs of current members but also ensure we are looking at future anglers and younger generations with a clear focus on maintaing a strong fishery and supporting our community.

If thats the case then those concerns need to be brought to the tournament committee for consideration. There are many new folks in there that would want to hear the opinions from the members and in turn take it to the main membership for a vote for a date change. They meet the Monday the week before the general meeting. I still agree with Fishkiller16 that with so many big prize tournaments in July the timing is pretty good for a smaller event for amateurs that want to have some fun and not spend a fortune to get in and try to get some modest winnings. The larger tourneys in July pay more but also cost more to enter usually. The STWA tournament is a nice event to kick start the season off no matter your skill level or size of your wallet.

We hookup on perch typically with wire spinners made old school with wire and spring set for your baitholder snelled red hook with chartreuse colorado blades, orange glow beads then pair two of them with wire lightweight spreaders. Snap about 3/8 oz lead on the spreader clip. Tip the hook with a minnow, drop them with light spinning tackle about a foot off the bottom and it just destroys jacks in the spring on Erie. The beauty of spreaders is you can get double headers, if a goby picks you on one you still have one spinner working. This is really good when your working two setups, one rod is pounding with the boat action vertically pulling the blades up hard then fluttering them down on the drop and you can have the other in your hand to hook up, nothing beats this setup in springtime. Good luck keeping your lines in the water when they get on the bite! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App
