Club Tournaments
Tournaments, yes the club does get a chance to fish competitively during our busy year. Six tournaments a year, 6 in 2010, are planned to see who in the club can have bragging rights until they get knocked off by someone else of course.
Of the six only five tournaments will count toward your year end total weight. By so called "throwing out" your worst tournament it allows members to actually miss one tournament without getting penalized. With work schedules, family commitments or any thing else that may arise we feel this will benefit all our members.
All club tournaments have a four fish limit per person. The boater and the co-angler who does succeed in having the highest total weight of the best five tournaments will be crowned Angler of the Year.
