PLEASE NOT RAMP CHANGE TO CHICKAMAUGA DAM DUE TO HIGH WATER LEVELS AND FLOW EXPECTED ON TENNESSEE RIVER.

 

 

The 2021 CFF Tournament Trail kicks off with CFF #1 on Saturday, February 20, out of Chickamauga Dam. Tournament hours will be from Safe Light until 2pm EDT. If you are going to fish, you must add your real name and CFF Alias to this thread.  This thread is for sign-ups only.  

 

Things you need to know (please read and observe):

 

$40 entry fee includes big fish. This fee is per boat.

 

A one-time fee of $10 will be charged to ALL participants before they fish their first tournament of the year. This fee will be used to items needed to ensure the smooth operation of the tournament trail. No one is excluded from paying this fee before fishing.  For the first tournament, for two people in the boat, the total cost would be $60.

3 fish limit. 12 inch spotted bass, 15 inch largemouth bass, 18 inch smallmouth bass

All teams must have a combined 200 posts to qualify to fish. You must also have your full name on your forum profile  Please note that those attempting to pad their post counts to qualify will not be allowed to fish. If you don't understand this then please read the threads regarding padding posts, and understand that it is pretty easy to spot a pattern.  If you start padding posts at a record pace immediately after I post this, you will not be allowed to fish!

 

Deadline for online registration is 7pm, Wednesday, February 17.

 

No locking through.

Deadline for check-in at the ramp will be approximately 15 minutes before blast-off. If you are not signed-in when the sign-up ends, then you will not be permitted to fish. NO EXCEPTIONS! If we are on the water when you arrive, then you are late.

 

The use of the technique known as the "Alabama Rig", "Tennessee Rig", or "Umbrella Rig" will follow state regulations.

 

We will be working to observice social-distancing for this event.  Please stay tuned for details during the week and the morning of the tournament.

 

Long-lining is not permitted in CFF events.

 

When signing up, please add your real name along with your CFF alias. If you do not, you will not be allowed to fish. Partners should be listed before sign-up deadline.

 

All anglers must bring a signed release form for 2021. You must bring a completed form with you when you pay your entry fee. No form, no fish, no exceptions! If you fish without a form, and it is determined upon auditing the forms that you did not submit one, you may forfeit any points and face discipline for future tournaments.  The free pass rule is in effect for the initial two tournaments for CFF members.
