Tournaments Illegal?

[Lee]

Kentucky state park ramps and parking lots may not be used to pay out tournament winnings. Tournaments are legal (see each lake restrictions, i.e., Cave Run Lake) but money changing hands on park property is not.

Too bad, that they approve money changing hands when you have to pay launch fees.

Do you know the statute or regulation that prohibits this?

Seems odd that the regulations would allow a Tournament to be held on the lake but prohibit the pay-out or collection of Money on site.

I would think if it were illeagal, there would have been something done at the BFLs in the LBL. I know when I used to fish it, there was no problems, plus I have fished a lot of other tournaments that pay at the ramp and they are all almost out of the state ramps, then add to that the fact there is a new tournament ramp the state built across from Mineral Mounds.

I just can's see the state facilitating the tournaments, then prohibiting the natural conclusion of the event, i.e. the money pay out.
