    Re: Tournament Explanation please...

    Boater is someone who wants to fish his own boat but didn't find a non boater guarantee him

    Non-boater is someone who signs up to fish from the back of the boat and didn't find a boater to sign up with.

    Guarantee boater is someone who is guaranteed to use their boat

    Guaranteed Non-boater is guaranteed to fish the tournament

    If you are not guaranteed depending on the circuit a non may not get to fish if there are not enough boaters

    If a boater is not guaranteed then he may end up fishing in the back of a Guaranteed boaters boat

    It is wise to find a fellow to sign up with. either way most have programs to prevent you and whoever signed up with you from fishing together so you will be randomly paired.

    Half of the gas is customary unless he runs 2 states over then 30-40 is acceptable. decide before any hook sets are made as to who is netting who's fish.

    Re: Tournament Explanation please...

    Again, I appreciate the info. I don't think I will be fishing any tournaments that have all of this lingo, but I was curious as to how it all fit together.

    Happy Catchin'
