Re: I'm going to figure this out...

It's possible that the one's you "Lost" were actually the fish coming up and Bumping the bait to kill or stun it. I've had them do that more than a few times. Once I figured it out, I'd start giving some slack when I felt the bump, and then they would HAMMER the bait. Might work for you to...

Re: BAM Tournament Trail Site is Up Now!

So, it looks like the entries are pretty reasonable, BUT I couldn't find any mention of PAYOUT. The demise, IMHO, in the Western tournaments participation has been the rise in entry fee's and the lowering of payouts.

Re: Average Hrs on boat per year

I'm on my 8th year with this boat and I've run just a little under 300 hrs fishing 5-6 times a month on average size lakes like Pedro, McClure and Pine Flat, with an occasional Eastman thrown in and a 4-day at Clear Lake and the Delta. So that would be and average of 37.5 hrs per year +/-.
