It comes down to this, one organization offers one product the other offers a different product. No right or wrong to it. You have the choice to support one or both. The same kind of thing happens on WesternBass.com...when they post the Non-shared wieght vs shared wieght formats in Pro/ams....its simple, two different products that we as anglers can choice from. People will always like one or the other or both.

I was lucky enough to be able to make my one and only trip to Clear Lake for this one. Yes I ran, did it make a difference for me not much. :( I was feelin pretty confident with the solid info I got from a friend that had fished the WON TOC the weekend before. The weather changed all that and when fishing from a kickboat in bad weather it can hinder the ability to access areas safely. But, that is a part of our sport.

I personaly agree with what Mitch says...we all have a choice to run or not if you are fishing with the Sonoma club. At the same time anyone wishing to fish a B-n-T event has to follow there rules. Would I choose one over the other, no I dout it. Each offers its advantages and challenges.

To fish is to live!
