Kopper, its unfortunate that you no longer fish tourny's because I think you get it.. Maybe try to blow off the negatives and focus on what you enjoy about tournys as there are still many great folks still out there.

Your post was spot on from 1-5 imho.

Boatmaster's in Livermore does it. They have a guy come out 1 or 2 days a week for detail. They did a awesome job on my Champ.

Great job to all of the people who ran this tournament. I have never seen such a large tournament run so well. Everything was smooth from registration to weight in to awards. This is how all large tournaments should be run!!! 100% plus payback, A free raffle that was just ridiculous (2 Zombie rods (...

Randy, thanks for your response. I agree these tournaments are for fun. IMHO all tournaments should be fun but since we are all not rich money should be a consideration as well. I am not convinced that most of the anglers out there really understand how much money they are giving away which is why I...

Levy

You posted that you are not anybody's free B***** because you refuse to promote something for a small payback. So how is that working out for you? Free boat, free truck to tow boat, free outboard, free tires etc... I would like you to consider the cost of your entertainment. A movie costs 10 bucks ...

Levy

If you're ASSuming $17K profit I can guarantee you are wrong. Any organization has COST associated with putting together and hosting any fishing event. That cost is included in the percent they take that you want to call profit. Its not all profit. Stop bitching and fish. If you don't want to fish ...

Levy

All of you sheep crack me up. I have no issue with the org or them making a profit, I am just questioning the anglers willing to bet their money for such a low return on investment. Why are you pimping thier products? Sorry, I am nobody's bitch, I will promote your product if you are paying me to do...

Levy

While these tournaments can be very fun and certainly a single or maybe 2 very good anglers out of many can make a nice profit from these tournies; the vast majority have no shot at making money much less then breaking even and I am only talking tourny fee's. Why do all that fish these types of Swag...

what color and size are the AC wake baits?

Levy

Some owners did something similar at Rivers end. When they did I would either cut the rope or remove it where it was connected to the doc. They would come out and yell at me but I told them the law and to check it out and they never tried to put them back other then the person in the very back of th...

Nice Job Matt. Beautiful fish!!!

Pics please.

I would not say it is as easy as folks are making it out to be. You still need skill to throw a a-rig. That being said I happily signed the petition as I agree 1 line 1 lure for tourny's.

Levy

I think any brand named reel over $100 would do the job. When punching I only care about a 7.1 gear ratio or above so I can get that fish quick or let me make a few more punches getting the bait in faster. Just my opinion as I have many varities of reels with vast price differences and I trust any o...

Thanks Ed. i might just do that. I drive by Waltons everyday.

reel ex only does shimano's I am looking for somebody who does all reels.

Thanks.

Levy

I have a bunch of reels that need to be serviced. These include ABU's and shimano's. Does anyone have a suggestion as to who services both reel types in the bay area as I am looking for a quick turn around as well.

Thanks in advance for any help given.

1 other thing related to Tracy Bass. Guy's if you are not fishing this you are missing the boat and the money!!! This is the only circuit in the bay area or maybe in all of california that is and always has paid back 100%. To put it into perspective the all in entry fee is $130 and includes big fish...

Levy

Cool, thanks for this post!!! We had a very good hour between 1:30 and 2:30. Caught 3 clone 6.5 lbers and a 4 to boot. Caught the 4 and first 6 at same time.

If there is anyone to blame here on the Delta for late blast offs, it's the anglers themselves, as it's common practice for a number of the contestants to show up at the last possible moment. This has been an age old practice by anglers here for all Delta team events. Personally, I don't see either...

Levy

Cooch, thanks for the feedback. I spoke to another ABA angler yesterday who stated that they still launch a little late but it is getting better. Don't get me wrong, after fishing the ABA for last 2 years I would like to fish the circuit again but want these minor issues cleaned up. Are they still d...

Levy

Can someone who is fishing this region let me know if they are launching on time this year. I am interested in fishing this circuit again next year if they fixed this issue as last year we left late every tourny. Thanks for any info provided.

Jon Levenson

Levy

I definately agree with Darrin and Bassmeout regarding Sponsors. The orgs really need to hunker down and make it happen. The first ORG to successfully do this will either force the other orgs to close or to follow suit. The more money or higher percentage of payback will certinally drive more angler...

You want a full field ? Get some sponsors + the formula bellow and watch your numbers go up a lot !!! 300 pro side - payback 80% 150 co angler - payback 40% + sponsors gift 50 big fish option Guarantees full field .... 150 boats for sure with a chance at maybe 200 boats Bassmeout, thanks for the fu...

Kyle,

Thanks for responding and the excellent info regarding your experience with the unit.

What the 2 above me said!!! I don't go to tournaments expecting to come in 20th or worse. Sounds like you lost already and probably should not enter any more tounaments. What a useless post!!

Jon Levenson

Levy

I love it. It seems to really shine at lakes with little water visability. I have litterally had fish come out from underneath the boat and eat off my trolling motor because they were following me and the sound. It has also really helped me fishing at the river and played a role in winning the Amer...

Love to see tracy bass get some love on here. The only 100% payback around. Good people as well.

Fred, You are kidding right, since I fished every event for the last 3 years please explain how I am incorrect? I know maybe I was just imagining fishing these tournaments and my name just appeared on the results list!! Simply put Safelight is not after sunrise. Ask each and every person in your tou...

Levy

Fred, good luck this year. My partner and I will not be fishing ABA this year. The reason is that we lauched extremely late at every tournament. I believe in all but 1 we launched after sunrise. My suggestion if you want to get back to large fields would be to ensure you launch at first light and no...

Levy

I am in need of a new transomsaver for my 2010 Champ. If I do not win this contest I will buy one as this product looks solid compared to my current solution. Thanks Jon Levenson

Levy

I do not believe that more then 1 lure should be allowed to be fished at once.

Levy

IMO It still should be banned for all tourny's. Bash me all you wan't just my opinion.

Rick weighed in 4 fish for 15.6 and won the tourny and lots of cash. He also had a Big Fish of almost 9 LBS. Owe yeah he also did it without a partner.

It's about time you won one if these. Nice job Dude, I guess if I am finally going to lose to you at least we got 2nd!!

Well if you are the owner of AC and knowingly weigh in 5 fish and keep the 6th and smallest fish in the livewell, that is cheating. The key word being knowingly.
