The issue you bring up about spots is related to the Upper Meramec Invitational

Other tourneys do the same thing.  I've seen tourney boats all the way down by Eureka.

There are some tournaments held down river, but this is the only one I know of that allows you to trailer back to a weigh in. Most just start from one access and then guys run from there. Yes you are moving fish around, but not nearly like what is done during the UMBC Invitational.

Yea I'm not sure which one that would be. Hwy 30/Frogs Landing is the furthest down one can trailer in the UMBC tournament. It's held in early June.

Is it legal in the tourney to solicit info from other fisherman?

If so nearly all of us would be guilty of breaking that rule. Buddies share info with each other all the time since several of us fish with different partners depending on which club we're fishing.

I wasn't implying cheating I wanted to know if guys called each other to let them know about a pattern or bite.

Wrench-  I consider them dumb because rivers are not well set up for tournament fishing. Guys running through a hole that you are fishing, you doing the same to them. Lakes are big and spread out, you don't HAVE to step on someone's toes to get to the spot you are going to fish, although some guys may do it anyway. The concept just doesn't work very well for rivers. Then add on what you guys are talking about in this thread with the spotted bass being moved. That's obviously bad. And I'm sure there are a percentage of fish that die from being in a live well all day.

Of course. The best guy in our bass club has fed us info on days he couldn’t fish and we still didn’t win crap. 🤣
