Let me start by saying I don't support this and am just brainstorming. Also let me start by saying I don't support running and I don't want this thread to get heated. I just want to hear thoughts and opinions on this.

My question:

Why cant someone use a boat to run?

Whats the difference in what you drive from 1 spot to another if your running?

Like the way running is currently done all fishing would be out of the kickboat or tube.

What's the difference?

This question is for bnt and scbbbc guys thoughts as well as any other tube anglers out there. This question isn't about running vs. not running its about boat vs. truck running.

Maybe BNT should vote on it at its annual meeting & consider allowing boats for running @ the Open. That would at least put the question of transporting fish to rest, assuming that BNT will disallow transportation of live fish by truck/car.

The SCBBBC could vote on it, too, but my hunch is that the club won't go for it. I agree that it's somewhat arbitrary, but, then again, a lot of tournament rules are arbitrary (e.g., in boat tournaments, no trolling, no fishing with two rods even if licensed to do so, no live bait, etc.). My guess is that most of the guys would say that you have to have a float tube/kickboat to fish, & you need some way to get to the tournament, but you don't need a boat.

as stated in my orginal post this has nothing to do with BNT or SCBBBC. It was just something I was brainstorming on and I was asked why we didnt by a non-member of any of the clubs or even this board. I now know the answers and this thread also brought up some great points. I will post a closure topic shortly. Thanks for all the attention this got and the great posts from everyone.
