Did anybody else get their 2005 booklet? Just noticed that the 5th flite leaves 2 hours after first flight! Come on, 2 hours, (1st flight 7am-3pm) 9am - 5 pm, then have to eat whats left at the cook out from the earlier flights and then re-spool and re- tie lures, etc.... I can't beleive the Federation can't come up with a better way of doing the flights. Plus they want you there 2 hours early. And I bet you that you can end up in the 5th flite both days.

I cant beleave there will be 5 flites  I have fished a lot of State Championships and can never remmber 5 flits. If there is yes it will be a long day. Also if you have good weight, Saterday you will stuck there untill 7 or longer. |

I got mine, and I couldn't believe it either. I hope I get 2nd or 3rd, because I can't drive until 5AM (i'm 16) so I could really get screwed. But the 5 flights is crazy. And then with the 5th flight coming in so late, by the time you get home it's time to go to bed. I'm glad I'm not the only one who was wondering about that.

The State Championship every time they go to St. Clair ends up being a looonnnnggg night on Friday. I never get much sleep. I could barely stay awake after the Saturday on the drive home from one of them.
There were lots of complaints about the weigh in taking too long. I'm not sure if this will be any better, especially if you do end up in flight 5 both days. I would just weigh faster and have 15 or no more than 20 minute flights and you should be able to handle 50 boats per flight. Others do, but I imagine it is too late for complaining to accomplish much for this year other than frazzle the guys running it that much more.
It will either work or there will be enough grumbling to get it changed again the following year. I think I will hold my tongue and just fish getting as much sleep as I can. It will definitely be interesting.
