I would save more money on traveling expenses if the Open was on the Delta.
My vote goes to the Delta.

even though it is a bit far for some the logistics will be much more difficult at the Delta. More people would have to run, are there enough spaces for campgrounds(?), where would we hold it out of(?), how many tourneys are going on at a given time (this would also fall into the previous question), more dangerous since it is narrow in many parts (I've had two close calls in only 15 trips), more dangerous since there is current, etc.
Yes, it would be cool but there are too many additional factors and complications at the Delta compared to Clear. If we were boating clubs it would be different but we are tubers and kickboaters.
My two cents.

How about if BNT held our open in the delta and SCBBC held theirs at Clear Lake? Even if we did hold the open at the delta I would still like to fish at least one tournament at Clear Lake; it is about the only time I make it up that way. I vote for giving the delta a try at least once.
You raise some good questions however I think the Delta is big enough that logistical issues could be worked out. Some specifc responses:
* a bit farther for some - It would depend on where it was held of course and of course it would be father from some or most SCBBC members. Clear Lake however is twice as far away (or more) than the delta for most BNTers.
* Running - a *lot* of people run at Clear Lake. Maybe we could get an idea of the percentage at the open next week. Does anyone keep track of how many run/stay?
* Camp grounds - there are parks with camping in the Delta area. Not at Middle River but I am sure we could find something workable.
* Where to hold it - a good question. The delta is big so this would need to be discussed. There are however many, many marinas, parks, launch ramps, etc available.
* How many tournaments are being held at a given time - you fish Clear Lake and are asking this? The delta provides the opportunity for tourney's to spread out over a much larger area. When I fish Clear Lake I see a lot more bass boats than on the delta, tourneys or no.
* More dangerous - personally I haven't had a close call yet even in some of the busier areas. Current can contribute to danger though, for float tubes in particular so we should probably avoid areas with a lot of current.

I think the Delta is a better choice in May. Clear Lake is usually post-spawn & very tough. Plus, the Delta is a more cental location for most of us Bay Area dudes. Some of the logistics re: camping & a good launch site would have to be worked out, but I think it would be worth a shot.

The delta would be cool although I don't like to run that much.I think there wouldn't be as good a turn out from non club people simply cause some folks think we are crazy for tubing/kickboating there.I think the danger issues could happen anywhere.Yes I have been almost ran over by 3 houseboats in a row!They all just waved and said howdy!(frickin morons)I would also like the idea of a shasta tourney even though it is far. One other thing about doing the delta (especialy in the heat of summer)is the fish mortality issue.remember not everyone will have an airriated livewell and this could kill some fish. I like fishing clear lake and realy enjoy the 2 events that both clubs put on up there. Swampy

I would really like to fish Shasta again; it has been 12 years or more since I've fished it. That was my very first experience at bass fishing and I've yet to have a day with those kind of numbers. I couldn't keep smallmouths off my bait; darn near a fish on every cast! I understand that spots have pretty much taken it over though...true?

about delta tourneys and dangers are a couple things.
One, on the tourney deal - if there are a couple big tournaments going on it would eliminate that area to launch. The Delta has some good areas to hold things but things can fill quickly. Yes, there are many areas to fish and I enjoy it but still think the logistics of it could be difficult. But, then again, if John's organizing it I have no problems!
Danger - Those two times I've mentioned were VERY close. One came screaming through the tulles (blind) and missed me by about 15 feet. The other saw me and had all of middle river to go but still had to come within 10 feet of us. This was above the rock barrier. I'm not sure if it had to do with the two of us catching more fish than them but they were not very nice (to say the least).
Not trying to say no but just playing devils advocate. I like the Delta myself but would prefer to fish it in a boat!
I do like the idea of a Shasta tourney. Actually for some who live near the freeways it can actually be a shorter drive (time-wise) for BnTers than the SCBBBCers. Only problem I see is who would organize it.

The wind can suck on the delta; we've had a couple of tourneys which were pretty much blown off the water.

Hey man, I don't whine, I SNIVEL! As in snivelling bucket of puke!
Anyway, don't you remember the tourney (I think it was Holland Tract) where it was blowing so hard that no one could fish it? Not even the GREAT John Lake? The only people who caught fish that day were the ones who hooked up in the first 30-45 minutes....before the wind came up.

Hey Kevin just to be completely clear: I was poking fun at myself not you. I thought John was replying to me. YOU're NOT a snivelling bucket of puke!

Keep the Open in the spring at the Keys. Keep the Invitational in the fall at State Park. Have a two-day tourney in the summer at Frank's Tract, call it the 'Regional'.

OK, I'll log-in to comment on this.
I think there's no better tourney during the year than the Open held at The Keys. Maybe hold it a week or two earlier though... maybe. That's all.
