I was hoping everyone here could help me out a bit. A friend and I are planning on running team tournaments in northern Minnesota next year and we would like your input. There is a huge void of tournaments of any size up there right now.
I would specifically like your input on which trail to run it through. We would like to hear the pros and cons for all the different trails. We were thinking of Fishers of Men partly because I have been fishing the FOM for three years now and am familiar with it and the people involved with it. What trail do you think will get the most guys out? If you suggest a trail please say why you think that trail is the best one.
As of right now we were thinking of fishing Leech, Vermilion, Pokegama, Woman, and one somewhere by Brianerd.
We want to have fun but we do not want to have just a bunch of local guys fishing to have fun. We would like to have fairly large tournaments with relatively high payouts so the guys in Northern Minnesota have tournaments of size relatively close to home. So our decisions will be made in order to do that. We would like entry fees anywhere between $100 and $500.
I would love your guys input. Thanks
