Dear Southdowns' Walleye:

Please stop holding your tournament so early in the year.

Fish were few and far between this year unless you like catching small ones and silver bass.

In my humble opinion your tournament would be far more fun and you would get way more entries if it was the week of 4th of July, like it used to be or even later.

I agree with Puckin Dog 110% !!!. Been chasin eyes East basin since 1987. My info is that almost any eye over 7 lbs early in summer is a female. The southtown tourny IMHO is targeting our breeding stock of female walleyes in the eastern basin. We are shooting ourselves in the foot with the timing of this tournament. I remember when Tom Marks was president it did get moved to about the 3rd week of July. Those were a fun couple of years. We caught way more eyes then years when tourny was in early june. Plus WE HAD KIDS ON THE BOAT cause they were done with school!! Later July we usually have the influx of western basin eyes so were not just hammering on our local breeding stock. I'm  chasin walleyes as much as ever cause I enjoy he challenge and love eatin them. The small ones taste great!! Have not been a member of STW for a good # of years cause I dont agree with the timing of this local tournament.

Wow, I am very surprised to hear this.. But I Agree as well... FINALLY!!! Most people that fish this tournament love it because of the size of the "big breeders" ! As Mike M. Has stated, it's putting a hurting on our local fish.

Is there DEC survey or other data that support your "detriment" viewpoint?
