Members Bassmod Posted October 31, 2015 Members Posted October 31, 2015 I'm just wondering how guys feel about small guys fishing tournaments. I've got a nice safe alumucraft ckassic with a 50 hp and great electronics that cost more than my boat but oh well. I'm a cnr guy no killer just want to fish some tournaments meet people and have fun. dan hufferd 1
Ham Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 If the guys in glitter boats have a problem with it, so be it. I have a glitter boat, but as long as your boat meets tourney requirements for safety of you and the fish. rock on. Champ188 and Bassmod 2 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future.

merc1997 Bo Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 it has always been my opinion that you can catch fish out of a bath tub. i started out in my early years in a next to nothing boat with a flasher. join in, kick butt and take names. bo Champ188, dan hufferd and Bassmod 3
Jerry Rapp Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 if you can afford the entry fees, go for it. At then end of the year you will be way ahead dollar wise versus the guys in the glitter boats, even if you win zero dollars. Bassmod and Champ188 2
Members Chunk Rock Posted November 1, 2015 Members Posted November 1, 2015 Be proud of what you own,make sure it's safe and enjoy fishing Champ188 and Bassmod 2
bluebasser86 Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 I fished (and won), several tournaments out of my little 1652 VPT Lowe Roughneck with a 60hp 4 stroke Merc before I bought my Stratos. As long as you have the proper equipment and feel capable, there's not anything stopping you. Champ188 and Bassmod 2
aarchdale@coresleep.com Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Quote I fish them all the time out of Cape Fair in my bass Tracker with a 60. Everyone is always nice. Sucks getting passed in the morning but I bet i burn a lot less gas than them Bassmod and Champ188 2
denjac Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 I never had a fish laugh at any of my older boats that I used to own. Go for it. Bassmod and Champ188 2 Dennis Boothe Joplin Mo.

Bass Enforcer Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 As long as the "small guys" (since we cant say midgets anymore, to maintain political correctness) can see over the steering wheel...Then I say 'Fish on!"
