snip a needed PSA --

I agree too Bob, and I don't even fish in tournaments, yet.

I do know that the couple of clubs I've looked into around here have
steadfast rules: Lights on at blast off, or no blast off.

Now, beyond the ramp/marina, I guess it is up to the boater's best
judgement, but at least the clubs I've looked into do that much. How hard is
it really, to plug in a couple of lamp posts and flip a switch? A lot easier
than telling your partner's (or competitor's) widow what happened if I had
to guess...
