Here's a rough idea on the prize packages at our tournaments. Cash payout is dependant on the number of entries.

First places includes a new Ascend kayak from Bass Pro Shops (FS12T, i believe)

Do you guys have flags or something to make yourselves very visible? There's a BFL derby that day with 150 or more boats coming out of Kimberling City, and there will certainly be others launching from elsewhere.

Donna will assure you that I'm an extremely careful and safe boat driver who runs full throttle sparingly. But there are others out there who are practically opposite. Just concerns me that someone might get hurt.

I have a flag and a loud a** air horn that i carry.

Most of them will stay in the Jake's Creek area. We have a Regatta permit for the event, so in case there's an issue we can have Water Patrol take care of it

How was the mo-yak turnout at LOZ? The opener was too far of a drive for this guy.

[Moswimb8slinger]

slow, cold and mostly chocolate milk for water clarity. We had 15 anglers, half the field blanked, and the 1st place winner was the only guy with 5 bass. big bass was over 21 inches long, and from a video of it, looked to be 4.5- 4.75lbs.

i almost got swamped by a spoonbill out in the Niangua channel and my kayak fell off the truck rack on the way to the park, the morning of the tournament (bad strap placement and a hard turn, minor scratches and 2 broken paddle clips). i still managed to catch some fish and get some AOY points, i finished 8th.

Some of us in OK were considering the MO-YAK tournaments, but they appear to only be 20-30% payout.

[Moswimb8slinger]

This is our first year for the tournament. We are non profit but some expenses need to be covered such as banners, building supplies for displays, etc. 10% goes to the Angler of the Year and "Classic" purse, 30% is paid out at the tournaments to the top 3, for now, depending on the number of entries. That can change with the increased number of entries (top 5, top 10, etc).

And a portion of entries also goes into a charity fund, and the charity is to be announced

As a first year tournament series, we haven't acquired any cash contributions from sponsors to cover logistics and tournament payouts.

But also consider we awarded prizes to the top 5 of 15 anglers, of which, first place prize package was worth $950 and includes a brand new Ascend FS12T from Bass Pro Shops.
