Fall Big Bass Tournament ??
Would any of y'all be interested in fishing a Fall Big Bass Tournament held on Ky Lake??
Lets say around 1st or 2nd weekend in October. $90 per boat, 80% payback, fish with partner or alone, 20 boats pays top 3 spots -- $800 1st, $400 2nd, $240 3rd.
Participants will only weigh in their biggest fish over 4 lbs, anything under 4 lbs doesn't count. If no one catches a fish over 4 lbs, money is returned. If only one boat catches a 4+ bass he gets all the money ($1440 for 20 boats)!
Is this a good idea?, what would you change about this?, This tournament will be held in October of 2007 so we have time, we could make it this year with enough interest but no need to hurry. Did I leave anything out?
RE: Fall Big Bass Tournament ??
I think it sounds like a great idea, but one question, where's the other 20% go?
I'm not trying to be greedy, but if this were for a charity, I know I'd be much more excited about it. I do understand that a lot of folks have tournaments and don't pay back 100%, some are to raise money for their own clubs, others charities. So I am just curious, that's all.
Thanks BB... and let's launch from mid lake.... like down around Kenlake or Fenton!!
Look here I am making suggestions, and haven't comitted 100% to fishing. LOL
Good luck.
Tight lines and God Bless

I'm in for it if it will be the 2nd weekend...already have a tourney on the 1st weekend.
RE: Fall Big Bass Tournament ??
I would not suggest the first or second weekend in Oct. There are many big tournaments on those weekends already. You should do it now when nothing is going on for maxium participation. As far as the 20% who cares. Just run it professionally take care of the fish and provide lie detector test to the winner.
RE: Fall Big Bass Tournament ??
If those two weekends are too full come next year, then I will go for the last weekend of September (Sat. 9/29/07) Hopefully one of those is available, I am trying to get close into the fall run so having the tourney around August is out. So it will have to be somewhere between the last of Sept. to the end of Oct. I know that mid to late Oct is Classic time for a lot of folks, but not everyone makes the classic and half the ones who make it don't go. If I get 20 boats that's satisfying, with 20 boats at $90 a boat and 80% payback, that is $800-1st, $400-2nd, $240-3rd, sound satisfying?
As far as high winds, no matter how high they get some will travel around the lake anyway, Cool Crk and Ledbetter ain't that big, I'm just concerned with loading the boat, but let's hope for good weather and an available weekend. I thought about a Sunday tournament, but I think Saturday is best. I don't believe there will be a minimum wt limit on the fish, this way the money is won as long as someone weighs a fish.
And YES, the winning boat must stay for a lie detector test before collecting the money.. :)
