Hard to believe it is already that time again to talk about the Action Alarm's open bass tournament. Here is the info.

This one will be a dog fight format. About 4 1/2 hours only from Safelight to 11:00, with a three fish weigh in. No live bait, no locking through, no trolling baits. No long lining. CFF rules will apply except you do NOT have to have the post count. It is open to all. $30.00 entry with $5 of that going to big bass. There will be an optional big trash fish pot of $5 also, this will be paid back to the biggest trash fish weighed in along with the $100 extra Action is putting into this pot. Out of Harrison Bay State Park. Weigh in will be at the Picnic tables on the far side over at the end of the camp grounds so we can get out of everyone's way at the ramp. Only one dead fish will be allowed with a half pound penalty, please keep your fish iced, cooled(if IT IS HOT), aerated and taken care of. The only reason I am allowing one dead is due to not wanting to see someone throw one back that has been hooked badly just to ruin and become turtle food. PLEASE keep them alive to fight another day.

Action Alarms is going to sponsor this one again with an extra $400.00 which will be divided out over 1st+$150, 2nd+$100 and 3rd+$50. Then the trash fish pot of $100. The rest of the pay out will be based on how many boats we have. 100% pay back. If we hit 30 boats I will do four places and if we hit 40 boats I will do five places.


Example would be if we had 20 boats show up the pay out would look like this.....

1st $250 + Action Alarm's $150 = $400.00
2nd $150 + Action Alarm's $100 = $250.00
3rd $100 + Action Alarm's $50 = $150.00
Big Bass 20 boats x $5 = $100.00
Trash fish pot extra $5 moneys plus $100. If all 20 boats had entered this that would be $200.00.

This is 100 percent plus pay back. Can't beat that, with three paid out it will be 50%/30%/20%. Four paid out would be 40%/30%/20%/10%. and if we had over 40 boats five places would be 30%/ 25%/ 20%/ 15% and 10%. Then again the Action Alarm money would be added for 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

Event Time : This event occurs once on 7/4/2015
Safe light (Approx. 6:00) - a.m. to 11:00 a.m..

If you have any questions shout out on here or send a PM. Jmax
 
Can you have 3 in the boat if one or 2 of them are under 15? My son and his buddy are beating me up about fishing a tournament.

No, just one at a time. It is a two person team. Sorry
 
Thought I would bring this one back up top as a reminder. Won't be too long and it will be here before you know it. :) Jmax
 
Hope to see a good turn out for this one. Since the 4th falls on Saturday this year maybe more will be off to really get a good number of folks fishing it. emoAngel For anyone who has never fished it I cut it off at 11:00 as to give everyone time to spend with family for the forth and also get us off the water before the water party people get too bad. We will as always have the weigh in over on the picnic side of the inside of HBSP. You can pull up on the bank there on either side or put your boat on the trailer at HBSP and just drive around to the weigh in. If you drive around be sure to give yourself time to get on the trailer and drive around. There may be a mess at the ramp of folks trying to get on and launch at the same time. It has been known to get crazy this time of year. emoSmile Jmax
 
I have been having several people tell me they were coming to this one. emoThumbsup Last year this fell on Friday and several told me they had to work. This year with it on Saturday I am looking for a good turn out. Hope to see you there. emoToast Jmax
 
Don't forget this coming July 4th Saturday. This coming weekend. emoAngel Jmax

I will be there !!! does my partner have to be a cff member ?

In this one no one has to be a CFF member. It is an open tournament. emoSmile Jmax
 
This one is shaping up to be a really good one again. Last year we had over 30 boats and paid four places, big bass and trash fish.

Here is what it would look like if we had 35 boats this year. 35 boats x $25 = $875.00 for places and 35 boats x $5 = $175.00 for big bass.

1st- 40%= $350 + AA's $150 = $500.00
2nd-30%= $260 + AA's $100 = $360.00
3rd- 20%= $175 + AA's $50 = $225.00
4th- 10%= $90.00

Big fish would be 35 boats x $5 = $175.00

Big Trash fish if 20 boats were to enter x $5 (optional) + AA's $100 = $200.00

Last year the optional trash fish pot was won by a accidental snagged bream that weighed .48 pounds. emoLaugh I may just go fishing for the trash fish pot. emoBigsmile In this example the total given out would be $1,375.00. emoThumbsup Not bad at all for a 4.5 to 5 hour dog fight! Hope to see you there. emoTongue Jmax
 
I plan to be there around 5 to 5:15 to take up entry money. Hope to see a good crowd, have had several tell me they are coming. Hope the rain does not run too many folks off. It will at least keep the party boats down. ;) Jmax
 
Got a PM asking about the entry. emoScratch Just to clarify the entry, you can fish alone or with a partner, no more then two per boat. Entry fee for the tournament is $30 per boat and that does include the "Big Bass" pot. Now there is also an optional "Trash Fish" pot for an additional $5 bucks. Your choice to fish it or not. If you do the entry for the tournament, big bass and trash fish is $35 per boat.

They are still calling for a chance of rain tomorrow morning so bring your rains suits. It would appear that blast off will be around 6:00 to 6:10 a.m. Depending on how overcast it will be. Please be in the water by 5:45. I will be there by 5:00 to collect entries. You can go out between the two points in front of HBSP all the way out to the buoys out in front of those two points. Spread out well as not to get in each others way. It will be a shot gun type blast off. emoSmile Jmax
