Bassmaster Elite Marshall Program

[Craigums]

Anybody sign up or going to sign up to be a marshall for the Mississippi tournament?

[Superduty]

I have thought about it and would also like to hear from anybody who has done it in the past. I'm wondering how they will be dealing with marshalls for the mystery lake? Are they requiring the marshalls to sign up without knowing where the tournament will be located?

[ikeslayer]

as far as the mystery event i was wondering that too - they are asking guys to register for a mystery lake - still cost 100 bucks and you have no idea where it is - they must be registered too by May 29th the HSOforum says.... not sure how that is going to go for them to get people to come out.

As far as marshalling i have done it before and i would highly recommend it. Men are visual we learn by watching - there i things that i do still just from watching those guys. It was great - I was in ft madison with them in 09 (i think) and fishing was tough - these guys know persevereance as well and get the idea of not getting negative because all that does is make you suck.

any other questions as far as the ins and outs of marshaling and i would gladly answer them.

Back when they had the Don Shelby invitational they had a Marshall like program and it was cool but really hard to be in a boat that long without fishing myself...

[Presco]

Where do you sign up?

[riverrat63]

If your a fed nation member you could of done it yesterday I did it at 8:05 am and it was hard getting registerd because bas was so busy I wouldent be surprised if lacrosse is filled up all ready

[Central Bassman]

I'm signing up on Monday along with 3 fellow FM'ers for the La Crosse tournament.

[bassNspear]

anyone else sign up?

Shows that its full, how many people do they take?

[ikeslayer]

i signed up when federation memebers could sign up but the day it opened to the general public it filled rather quickly and a buddy of mind called to get his name on the waiting list and the gal told him that they weren't even putting any more names on the waiting list.

Good that it is full maybe they will come around more often - the mystery event will fill up fast when they announce it

[lookincalifornia]

[PoorWordUsage], guess i'll just have to attend the weigh-ins.

my timing works well, moving back to SE minnesota about a week before the tourney.

[Jacob]

I'm still waiting to hear if I got in or not. It's been well over the 4-6 weeks they said it would take. Anyone got any news?

[bassNspear]

Go to the elite page, http://www.bassmaster.com/elite

scroll to the bottom and on the right side of the page, click "Check Status" under "Elite Series Info". I agree, they sure did not make it obvious.

I called copeland todayto see what info they may have about the tourn. The gal said she didn't know they were hosting a tourn.!!

Well the gal came thru for me! Sent the form you marshals use, and on the second page it has the take off and weigh in times. Plus the info for copeland, I.E. no charge for visitors.
