2005 Southern Kentucky Marine Circuit

[Z71]

We fished this circuit this year and was very impressed by the way it was run and the payout. With Renegade going to Ky/Barkley for 3 out of seven next year, this might be an alternative if you don't like the cost of hotel rooms. Although you can fish both since they do not conflict with each other. They also draw to give a boat away at the classic. They guarantee $1000 for first and pay $500 for second thru seventh place. Also $300 for big bass plus $200 for second big bass. This is all based on a 50 boat turnout. They will pay Triton bonus money based on a 60 boat field. All in all a lot like Renegade used to be. Here's the dates;

what is the payout if less then 50 boats? And what percentage is being paid out?

Z71 (wink) I know of a couple of guys that have made good money fishing renegade..........

[Z71]

Payback is 90 % at the ramp with 10 % going to the Classic fund. The same % applies if less than 50 boats paying a place for every 7 entries. Also let me clarify something. I in no way want to knock Renegade. It is the best run circuit I have ever fished, bar none, and always will be as long as Sherbert Van Meter is running it. Having said that, not every one will like the schedule every year and is is nice to have alternatives.

You are right David, Sherbert runs a great show. He has for 10 years. His tournaments are run as well as if not better than the old KTC-PTR-Fishing line-TNT and others. But everyboby knows that's because of Ms VanMeter. There are only two things wrong with Renegade. Number one is you always have to fish against those two guys{wink}. I'm fortunate to beat those two guys one time a year. They are the gold standard if you fish a circuit. Number two is I am not going to Ky lake 3 times a year for one circuit. I'm going to try Southern Marine this year but I would rather fish on Sat. Had I known it was Sat. last year I would have fished it then. When is S.M. going to put the schedule on whocaughtwhat?

[TR21X]

I also fished this circuit last year it was run very fair,and honest.I talked to Raymond they are going to be on Sunday this year.I perferred Saturday myself,but they are trying Sunday to get more boats to fish.Also if your are looking for a new Triton they will give you a good deal I just got a new 21x in October.

I don't see how having the tournaments on Sunday will help the turnout! Unfortunatly I won't be able to fish it next year but it was a good tourny to fish. Lots of fun and run very fair.
