Anyone Do Fantasy Fishing?

Also, I know that we decided that we would like a larger "payout" to involve more winners. How many places would you guy like to see "paid out". We have 27 participants. Every participant whether they are in the "money" or not have to donate 1 bait. Was thinking the breakdown would be something similar to this paying out 10 places:

• 1st - 6 baits
• 2nd - 5 baits
• 3rd - 4 baits
• 4th - 3
• 5th - 2
• 6th - 2
• 7th - 2
• 8th - 1
• 9th - 1
• 10th - 1

Let me know if you guys want to go with that format for payout or if you would like to pay less spots with more baits or more spots with let baits per place. I am good with whatever the majority wants.

Also, baits should be in the $5-10 range. Nothing crazy like a $25 Megabass and no $1 Walmart spinnerbaits either. Something like a pack of your favorite color of senkos, a crank in a color that you don't see others throwing but kill then on it, etc. Maybe let someone in on a secret bait if you're feeling froggy. This is supposed to be fun and maybe have guys try baits they otherwise wouldn't think of tying on, perhaps.

Chime in with your thoughts, opinions or concerns.

Paying out more spots will keep guys from giving up at this point in the season too.  Just a thought.

If you pay too many places, it's like fishing a tournament where everyone pretty much gets their entry fee back. What's the point?

That said, 10 places seems reasonable in this situation but certainly no more.

Says the guy who has been in first all year....lol. J/K.

I think 10 is fair and we will go with what I laid out in my previous post. Will keep at least a few more guys interested down the stretch that would otherwise be "out of the running" if we were only to payout 5 or 6 places. 

At the end of the season we will get addresses of the winners and I will coordinate who sends what to who to make it easy and there won't be any double ups.

Thanks for all that have participated and good luck the rest of the year.

I'm happy with what you decide, I'm so far down in the weeds that I am resigned to being a donator.  But, I'll go down fighting!  I have the Fabulous Five picked for this week (I hope).

You just never know. The last tournament I put up the lowest # of the year in our league for someone that actually filled out a lineup.

Also, only about 500 points separates 10th place from you in 23rd. That can be made up in one tournament and certainly the rest of the season. Be like Ike anddddd.....................

Will be interesting to see how many of us picked the same or very similar line ups.
