This is my first post to the Tournament talk forum. I don't usually see alot about bass tournaments, so I thought I would start to share how we have been doing in ours. We fished our fourth tournament for the year on Saturday at Lake Sarah. It was an awesome day for a tournament and the bags weighed in showed it. Our winning weight was 20lbs, 9oz. We had a total of 9 bags that were over 15lbs, and five of those were over 17lbs. Not bad for 5 fish limits. Our piggy of the day was a 5lb, 4oz Lake Sarah sweetie. Pictures of the top two catches can be seen at bassmanfishing.com I am going to try to start posting some of the pics here, but first I have to figure out how.

Paul and David Sladek with 20lbs, 9oz.
2nd%20Place%206-26-04.jpg
Luke Christensen and Todd Seeger with 19lbs, 3oz & Big Bass 5lbs, 4oz.
Good Fishing to all, and to all a good fight!

Thanks Matt

I've worked hard at it for years, as I'm sure that most guys on this site have. Days like that are not to frequent, so we should all cherish them. It takes a certain amount of skill to catch fish, but to catch 9 fish in one day that weigh over 5lbs, is takes quite a bit of luck as well. We also caught 14 that were over 4lbs, and the number of twos and threes I lost count of. The Bass God shined on us Sunday.
Thanks for the compliment.

Great PIC's Tom! I am on the water 4 days a week and the Bass Gods have been in my corner once or twice but never like that!

I have club tourney on Sara in a couple of weeks. Can you give any pointers? ...Not asking for spots...just pointers. Deep? Slop? Slow? Cranks? etc?

If you dont care to post the pointers, alternatively I can be emailed @ tubejigger@hotmail


Thanks!

Tube,
We caught all of our fish on the outside weedlines in about 3-5ft of water. We were fishing soft plastics texas rigged and fishing super slow. Everyone fished pretty slow, but there was also a good frog bite that morning. The guys that won fished in water 10-14 ft deep. 2nd, 3rd, and 4th fished water the same as we did. the top 5 teams were all 17lbs plus. Good luck
The only hint I can give you is fish the ends or the middle.

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
