MARSH MASTER Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 Just wondering how many members fish tournements vs. how many don't? Quote
Super User fishfordollars Posted August 16, 2008 Super User Posted August 16, 2008 I am fishing my 14th tournament so far this year tonight. Quote
billbrum Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 I fish in a few tournaments a year...mostly muskie tournaments though. Quote
UPS VT Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 I just fished my third tournament today. I am new to tournament fishing. I'm having fun so far, but not performing very well. Quote
Super User Catt Posted August 17, 2008 Super User Posted August 17, 2008 I can be talked into fishing one or two a year Quote
Super User Gatorbassman Posted August 17, 2008 Super User Posted August 17, 2008 Due to my weekend work schedule I fish alot of weeknight tournies. Quote
vtbassin Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 I do not consider myself a tournament fisherman although I may fish 1 or 2 a year. How about another choice - occasional tourny fishing? Quote
Super User Tin Posted August 18, 2008 Super User Posted August 18, 2008 I'm fishing the Bassmaster Weekend Series thing weekend on Champlain. It will be my 21st tourney of the year. I generally fish about 40 a year and am on the water about 140 days a year. Most in spring and fall because summer isn't my strongest season. Quote
Daniel My Brother Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 I don't personally care to tourney fish...plus my schedule wouldn't allow it (I coach kid's soccer, softball and basketball). That said, I think tourneys are good for the sport of bass fishing so I try not to complain when a herd of strange boats show up at my favorite lake. Quote
thetr20one Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 I usually fish 25 or more a season but, this year I have had to put fishing on the back burner for awhile so only about 15 Quote
BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted August 23, 2008 BassResource.com Advertiser Posted August 23, 2008 I fish 6-10 ABA tourneys, 8 Team Tourneys, and several Charity tourneys a year. Quote
Super User Sam Posted August 25, 2008 Super User Posted August 25, 2008 Fished too many this year. Will miss my club's last two due to family obligations. Quote
dickenscpa Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 I'd love to fish tourneys as well but can't really get hooked up to a club due to my schedule. I might get to do one or two tourneys that are more like industry/promotional things thru work, but didn't make any of them this year. My son has gotten active in martial arts and I teach at his school 2 nights a week and throw in I became a Tiger Scout leader in his troop. Tiger Scouts are 2 Tuesdays and 1 Thursday a month, plus weekend activities. Throw in the old work monkey and I'm full up. Last year I had an old beater boat and fished at least 2 times a week, sometimes more. Bought a shiny new boat this Spring and bet I've been out 6 times in it. :'( Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted August 25, 2008 Super User Posted August 25, 2008 I never thought I would be a TX angler, and I guess I am not, but I do like to fish a "few". All opens, I have fished in 8 so far this season (since june 21st in NYS). I like it, partly because I have done well I guess. Have cashed 5 times out of 8 (1st, 2nd, two 3rd's, a fourth , and lunker once). Will probably fish a few more this year, and as many if not more next season. Call me derranged, but one of the things I like best about it is beating guys who walk around like they are touring B.A.S.S. pros w/ there $40K boats in my 17' paid for Bass Tracker......and spending 1/10th of what they do to do it, which means if I cash all the more $$$ in my pocket insted of in the gas tank and to the bank. Yeah I know..............but I fish 5 days a week for fun for the "love" of fishing, I'll take one day every once in while to be an a-hole. Quote
fishizzle Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 I fish about 6 club events and 5 tourneys on the CT-Outdoors trail which usually has 40 boats Love it! Quote
Jrock Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 I use to fish two a week , but have since cut way back because of my work scheldule, i am lucky if i get to fish two a year, but i do enjoy them. Quote
ZZ Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 I try to fish 2 or 3 in the spring and then from May till sept I fish a friday night series every friday night. Then In Oct to Feb will concentrate on a winter series of tournamnets ZZ Quote
