Team excell tournaments


Recommended Posts

Hi all I will be new to the tournements this year as my wife gave me entry to the excell whitefish tourny this year. I am an avid bass fisherman but will be a little overwhelmed with the tournement style.

I was wondering what if my little tournement v17 bass tracker(40hp 30mph top) will do the job or will I be laughed off the lake by all of you 225hp bass boats.

Also if anyone has any info on Team Excell and what I might expect.

Thanks

Hello,

I am the tournament director for Excel Bass. Our single and team formats are targeted at the grass roots fisherman looking to get into tournament fishing. We have several guys fishing from tin boats and they do very well. The Bass don't know what kind of boat you have.

Team Excel is new this year. I have decided to add a singles twist to the team format. You and your partner fish by yourselve in your own boat. You can communicate via cell/walkie for culling and location planning. I am limiting the field this year to 20 teams or 40 boats.

Excel Bass (singles) will remain the same with a max. of 40 boats/persons. These events fill-up fast so I suggest you sign-up early.

I welcome you to Excel Bass and Tournament fishing. I'll look forward to seeing you on Whitefish this year!

Joel,

I will be fishing as MossBoss95's teammate at the Whitefish tournament on Aug 26th. So what you are saying is we each need our own boats? Can we fish together and will people fish together in the same boat? I do have my own boat but thought this was a 2 man in the same boat tournament.

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • 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.
    • 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?
    • 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.
