I back seated at the big tournament they had on Taylorsville.
Take a book. Some of the guys will talk, others do not want to be bothered and want to concentrate. Take a camera. You do not have much to do. I do not think you can help other than maybe handing him a sandwich, water, soft drink etc.. NO FISHING .. unless you find a really decent pro... but none of them wants you to catch one that might give them the tournament.
I have also back seated at the Local KBF tournaments. Same thing.. except you are more likely to find a guy willing to let you fish some. AGAIN.. take a camera and send Fishin.com some pics.. and take a book or magazine.
Plan on having to pee or do your business in the boat.. NOT sure how you do that unless you take a 5 gallon bucket to do #2 in.. take plastic bags to line it. Even the pro may appreciate it.. LOL. IF the lake is way up plan on a rough ride. I am still recovering from a ride on the Ohio in 3 to 5 foot waves.. we bounced more than a superball shot out of a cannon.
