Hi Dave,
Yeah this is a very fun way to get into tournament fishing without breaking the bank. You fish one on one, you get to use your own boat, and just about anyone can join. We started this last year here in a limited area in Minnesota and it was very popular. Now we are wanting to start divisions wherever there is interest. All the guys had a lot of fun.

We do not want to take anyone away from their present club or league, we would like to get clubs and leagues involved, you can even fish a match during a tournament if both anglers agree to holding the match that way.

One of the great things about this format is that the anglers get to choose the lake, time, and duration of the match. Its a great way to meet other bass fisherman and you will learn a lot about tournament fishing and tournament strategy.
