The 2020 CFF Tournament Trail continues on Saturday, March 14, out of Chester Frost Park. 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.</p>
Things you need to know (please read and observe):</p>
$40 entry fee includes big fish. This fee is per boat.</p>
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.</p>
3 fish limit. 12 inch spotted bass, 15 inch largemouth bass, 18 inch smallmouth bass</p>
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!</p>
For the first two tournaments, one "pass" may be used to fish without the combined 200 posts. Those fishing under the free pass should have a CFF alias and be working towards the 200 post count in order to fish regularly.</p>
Deadline for online registration is 7pm, Wednesday, March 11.</p>
No locking through.</p>
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.</p>
The use of the technique known as the "Alabama Rig", "Tennessee Rig", or "Umbrella Rig" will follow state regulations.</p>
Long-lining is not permitted in CFF events.</p>
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.</p>
All anglers must bring a signed release form for 2020. 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.</p>
Please reserve this thread for sign-ups so that we can easily keep up with it. Any posts not sign-up posts may be deleted without notice. Anyone planning to fish must sign up on this thread prior to the deadline.</p>
Remember, the idea of this tournament trail is a little bragging, fun and fellowship with fellow anglers. It is also to contribute fishing reports to the forum. If you want this to be the Bassmaster Tour or FLW Championship, it may not be for you, and we understand that. If you don't intend to post a fishing report, we don't need you. One major question we get is why we limit the first place purse. We do it to pay more places, discourage the participation of ringers and pros, and encourage people to fish with their kids and others and to enjoy the time.
