Folks ,


I've been thinking about trying to set up a tournament and I wanted to get some feedback and see if the idea sounds interesting. Here are a few of the rules:


BARE BONES TOURNAMENT
1) only one rod and reel per angler
2) each anglers reel will be spooled with 100 YARDS OF 2 LB TESTupon checking in for the tournament.
3) each angler can bring and possess only two traditional type baits : this could be a crankbait and a jig; a worm and a spinnerbait, etc. if both selections are plastic -- two hooks and sinkers will be permitted. Each anglers 2 baits that they have chosen will be all that is allowed in the boat! Each boat will be searched prior to the start of the tournament.
4) no nets on board
5) no Alabama rigs etc. (like up could use it with 2 lb test anyway).
6) 2 anglers per boat - THIS IS A TEAM TOURNAMENT
7) FIVE FISH PER BOAT LIMIT
8) any species of fish can be taken (certain tournaments may be species specific)
9) shotgun start, 8 hours in duration, payout goes to the boat with the most weight (winner takes all)
10) fish finders are permitted






Tell me what you think?
