New format for this event with 3 anglers in the boat, fishing with up to 6 lines in the water. I'm thinking its going to be FUN!

What do you guys think?

I've been hoping one of the tours would be fishing Green Bay this summer. As a potential co-angler, I see some pros and some cons. Pros: you get the opportunity to learn from not one but 2 pros. Given that they will be working together, it has the potential to be very educational. Cons: Given that the 2 pros will be working together, I see the potential for the co-angler to be marginalized and relegated to a gopher rather than a participant. It doesn't really take 3 guys to run 6 boards.

Disagree: It's more productive with a third fisherman. More hands on deck to set and reset spread. Two guys taking pics and revival for release while the third is reseting lines ect... Less chance of losing those doubles and triples with a dead stick in the rod holder. This is going to be a riot !Plus the comradory, 2 guys can only give each other crap for so long. Thank you Oconto !

We all should have plenty to do, I plan to rotate my partner with the co-angler as far as settin lines, doing CRR, and shooting video. One man up front tending to 2 lines and 2 guy's in back tending the other 4. Simple stuff. You may also draw some great team guy's that fish together all year and see how they work together. There will be a lot to learn either way.
If ya happen to draw me, my partner Hans will have you laughin all day.

Before I talked with Chase I was concerned about room, and the distance we would travel with 3 in the boat. Safety has to be a priority, but after our conversation I was excited to fish it and I have a very good friend that will be in the boat with me for all three days. I think the pros outweigh the cons and what a better place to fish it than the Bay of Green Bay. Here is the chance for all you guys who haven't fished an AIM event to jump in and see what it is like. I know you will love the format and get hooked on it just like me. John Schneider

John, I checked my email but did not get anything from you about this event but of course I will be your partner.  I am just assuming here but who else could it be.  Not sure why my email keeps acting up but whatever.

Rich, I got the email your looking for. I would forward it to you, but your name isn't mentioned.

Weird.  Sorry for the mix up, not sure if that was on my end.  Just send it to me and pretend you never got it.
