Bass boat pocker run??

topwater · 04-26-2010, 09:22 AM

Yes Pineedles, they were all released , probably anywhere from 100 yards out from the docks all the way to 1/2acre island in the deeper water. Not many tournaments are held out of Center Harbor, this is the only big one that I know of. I was not in this one, but did speak to a few friends I saw on the lake that were in it, and some were really struggling for a limit. This time of year you can only keep 2 Bass per person, it was a team tournament so each boat could have brought back 4 fish. Do you fish for bass it that area? I know it quite well, especially during the summer when the fish go deeper. I would love to share some of my knowledge with you if you want. I'll even tell you exactly what to use, where to use it, how to use it, and where to buy it.

Thanks for the offer Topwater. My camp is directly across from 1/2 mile island and we usually see many bass right off our dock. I would imagine this release will increase the density of bass. No matter what I throw out, Hula Popper, Jitterbug, or a Daredevil lure they usually go for it as long as conditons are right. Early morning, very still lake, etc.

So are these Professional Tournement Bass Fisherman vying for a Cash Prize?

I've always wondered if the fish in the live well get Seasick bouncing around in there all day.

Yes, there is a cash prize, usually $1,000 to $1,500 cash(check). If you win enough during the course of the year, you have to pay taxes on your winnings.
As far as sea sickness, No they don't , well let me just say I have never seen bass puke in my live wells.

, There is a chemical called re-juvinate that you can pour into your livewells which calms the fish down from being to excited. Actually, the bass guys/gals take very good care of their fish. Most know how to deflate(FIZZ) a bass that comes up from the deep water and thier bladder swell up with air, and if you don't fizz them, they will not be able to return to the deep water. Yes, you might have a casualty now and then, But is is againest the rules in any bass tounament to cull a dead fish.
These aren't Pro's by any means !!! LOL, these are guys and girls just like any of us, that belong to a bass club, and the club members are the ones you see out there fishing. NoBozo, you could join one of the clubs and be out there with the week-end anglers.
