What do you need to do or have to get in this tour.

[Astrobass]

Big Marbles, because I can only image the amount of boats that fish it.

I would be interested based on the safety format of the take off.

[SteveRiley]

I'm not sure where you live but if you will check with one of the dealers listed above, they will be glad to explain what you need to do to qualify for this tournament.

You can also call me at 859-533-5530 and I can help you.

Thanks!

Astrobass,

Thanks for asking about the tournament.

I can assure you that the Tackle Stores and the Shimano Corp consider the safety of the anglers the most important part of the tournament.

We will release the boats one at a time until all boats are on the water. We will stagger the time the boats return to the dock for weigh-in.

This will be the 3rd time we have held this event and we have seen it grow from 74 boats the first year to 86 boats last year. Not sure yet how many boats we will have this year but we are expecting a good turn-out.

Hopefully this answers your questions. Can I count on you and your partner fishing with us?

Best Regards!

I fished this tournament last year and it was ran superbly. The registration was smooth, as was the takeoff, the weigh-in, and the prize giveaway.

This is an A+, class act tournament.

[Astrobass]

How do I qualify for this tournament? If I can qualify to fish it, right now, I'm at about 85% sure that I'll fish it, however, I am a farmer on the side, so my schedule solely depends on if anything is wrong.

[Jordan Bozarth]

Do you have to visit the store and get some papers or something or can you just call them and them tell you what you need to know?

[Bass_King2007]

U need to have bought a shimano reel or rod this year and have the receipt and take it to the tackle shops mentioned to register for the tournament.. the reels eligible are the canenan,citica, and higher.. I am not for sure about the rods..

[Jordan Bozarth]

Ok thanks
