Are any bass clubs out there amending their tournament schedules due to the high gasoline prices?

I mean, are you 1) reducing the number of tournaments; 2) changing the locations from waters far away to fisheries closer to home; or 3) eliminiating the "two-day" tournaments with overnight motel stays?

My club has "capped" the non-boater fee at $50 for each tournament day.  What is your club doing in this regard?

Just wondering.

Thanks for the feedback.

My club did not reduce the number of tournaments we fish 14, but we kept them all within our "home" region which consists of 5 major impoundments. So travel is at a minimum and most of the members say it does help.

As far as the non-boater fee, what do you mean? Do you charge the $50 above and beyond the entry? If so don't you think that's a bit much? We suggest that non-boaters chip in $25, and most give $30. Which in all honesty covers about have the cost of the gas and oil for the boat.  

We have not changed our schedule.  We have a couple of tournaments that we have to drive 2 hours or so to.  Our non boaters pay the boaters entry fee which is $20.  Anything over that is strictly up to the non boater.  I have offered more on several occasions and the boaters that I have been with never take it.  

Our club does not have an "entry" fee for any of our tournaments.

As an option, you can pay $10 to get into the "pot" and another $5 for big fish pot.

The only charge is for the non-boater to help offset the boater's overhead.

Well as for me ,when I fish as the non-boater I always split 50/50 ,seems only fair way to do it.Even when we are JUST fishing the rider splits the costs

No changes here.  Our club travels quite a distance to fish.  Everyone camps and we pot luck for dinner.  Very family friendly.

We still fish 12 and a classic, however, we have moved several closer to home.
