Now that Todd mentions it the mid August did work out really good for me being able to attend the Michigan convention. This year's was smack dab in the middle of the sampling season for me and I was basically told 'no way', thus needing everything in TN to be in bad condition to sample. Another good point too, that having it earlier, and south, could be conducive to vacation. My two cents and what I like from what I've seen so far, although I have none of the other commitments really to deal with just schoo.

Once into September, the semester kicks in after Labor day and will probably cause conflicts for people who are in, associated, or have kids in school. This is seriously crunch time for a lot of people. I mean really, If we're going to put folks in that kind of a choice... Why not have it in late March or early April to see all the glorious colors of Percidae? It's not going to matter to people who take vacation from work or retirees, right?

My preference would be to not have it on a holiday weekend. Also, will
later in the year yield less colorful fish? I wouldn't scream to much
either way.
