Weight Scales

[jamesedward]

I may be interested in buying a weight scale for tournament weight ins and I am also thinking about starting a new LOCAL bass club for tournaments on Stockton Lake only....It would be a 100% payback with a $10 membership per year per person to which that will pay for my scales and barrels and all. I'm thinking 1 tournament per month 10 months a year. Lets see how many would fish 1 time per month strictly on Stockton Lake and putting in a mid lake area like old state park as long as they have restrooms and lights. I wish to have 8 hour tournaments at night and 8 hour tournaments in the day time. Night tournaments will be from MAY,JUNE,JULY and August. is this a terrible idea? I.m just wanting to bring attention to Stockton Lake with-out bringing in all the big Studs who fish big tournaments. The big boys I don't think will fish a local 3 hour tournament during the weekday but once a month They may wanna fish a all night tournament on a saturday night 1 time per month in the summer. I'm just asking guys not saying I AM JUMPING IN THIS. I just think maybe to start a 3 or 4 hour tournament during the weekdays WILL WORK if advertised on the Fishing Radio show and with flyers posted every where.

I would be very interested in a Stockton Bass Club. With monthly meetings, dues, and a monthly tournament schedule for members who attend at least a portion of the meetings. I recently moved to this area and had to leave a Bass Club that I had been a member of for years. Been disappointed that there is not a club in the area. The club I used to be with used a draw tournament format and did a measurement system to do the weigh-ins. It eliminated the need for scales and the hauling around of fish in the hot part of the year. I would be in for something similar but not a tournament schedule that just requires a yearly dues but no club. Thanks

Well I myself would not be having that type of tournament. WE will seeing the fish and weighting them in. A monthly meeting, It will not be that type of tournament either. I will just put out flyers and put it on both fishing radio shows and also the word of mouth will get around. I think being 100% pay back is the way to go and I see no reason why there will not be at least 15 plus boats every tournament. There will be no meetings just show up, pay a yearly membership of $10 per person to go towards scales and do this thing. Don't need know water tanks or anything like that. You use your own bags, pour the fish in a basket and heavy weight wins 1st place. I'm not gonna pay a gigantic 1st place amount and 2nd and 3rd get nothing. It will be a 60-30-10 split with big bass 100 1st place only. No paying 1 place for every 5,6,or 7 places. I've also done this for years and I KNOW what I want cause this worked great for both my old bass clubs. I just wanna see how many would like this type of thing and I see we have 3 so far....you, my partner and myself

I would be interested in a club like that. It would be nice to learn some new tactics from others too. I fished a tournament up there last year with a club that did the measurement deal. It worked out alright, didn't have to worry about livewells are keeping the fish alive, but it works solely on the honor system. I personally would rather see the fish weighed in. Let me know what you come up with on this. I could probably add another 2 or 3 to your list of members.

I'd be interested if they were evening tournaments during the week.
