Any day that doesn't conflict with another major fishing event is good. I think that is more important than good fishing tides. Make it less a fishing tournament and more a publicity stunt/fundraiser. The competitive part should not be the main component. This is about raising money and getting good press.

My biggest worry is turn out. Fisherman have shown to be bad in turning out for this kind of thing.

The public thinks of us as an amusing, harmless, intriguing, oddity among fisherman. Never once have a gotten a PETA comment on the beach after kayak fishing. I think awareness would get us some good will and couldn't hurt.

Just my thoughts.
