Mike,

I'm just curious but what is Boggs doing with the money that is generated by the tournaments at Boggs? Not trying to be a smart#$# but it would be nice to see some improvements at the lake other than camping facilities and a miniature golf course.

Whatever happened to the idea of building a release boat for tournament use? The way I understood it was you had a boat that could be used you just needed to build it. If that's the case I'm sure there are several that would volunteer time to build a release boat that would be free to the tournaments in order to release the fish away from the marina. I know I'd be glad to help out.

I think this sort of thing is everyones concern. For this additional fee what are we going to see in return? Currently I never have seen a IDNR release boat at any tournament for their use. You see this in other states (Kentucky). You often see CO's at other state tournaments as well. The only officials I've ever seen at an Indiana facility was the ones insuring you had your sticker and if you didn't they would gladly sell you one. It seems that all Indiana wants to do is find more ways to make money and put nothing back into it. Here again I see other states improving ramps and enlarging existing ramps without charging any additional fees.
