CFF Tournament Clarification / Local Tourney's

[Shark]

OK, first thing, Let me say emoSorry for this may seem like a whine session.

I'm not a brain surgeon..... But is it me... or does it appear that the CFF tourney's are team/partner tournaments? I want to fish in them, but alone due to my boat size. emoScratch

I have a 14 ft john boat - model #1432 and only 32 inches wide (It had the bench seats removed when I purchased it, so I customized it for better fishing and tournaments.

I currently need to replace the flooring and removable livewell) and hopefully soon. I will have a manual start outboard - around a 15 hp most likely.

I do not need $300,000 Insurance on such a water rocket. emoLaugh I refuse to buy such a policy on such an inexpensive boat when Tenn law doesn't require it on small boats. emoBadLanguage

I can't afford to fish all year long as a back seater in tournaments, I can afford to fish in my own boat and perhaps once in awhile - fish with other CFF members and share expenses to take me fishing in their boats. emoAngler

Does any one know a club or local tournament schedule that allows boats under 16 ft, doesn't require a kill switch or $300,000 liability and not require fishing partners? emoPlease

Everyone here has been great and I'm looking forward to meeting everyone possible. I really do appreciate any and all help... from the past, present and in the future. emoGrouphug emoWorthy

Sincerely, emoThanks

Why wouldn't you be able to fish alone in the CFF's? If you have a working live well and a means of transportation, I don't know what the problem would be.

Not really a "team or partner format" There will be 2 trophies rewarded at the end of the year for the 2 most highest in points. If 2 people fish the entire trail together and both have the highest points, then yea, they both get a trophy. But, if 1 of them misses a tx and cant make up his or hers individual points, then someone like you might sneak up in there

The CFF trail points are really just fun bragging right with a trophy.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.... emoThanks for the clarification. I'm in for sure, just have to wait till i get my taxes and buy a motor. lol

Shark you are more than welcome to fish the Ratman tournment at wolftever with us.Don't worry about the motor size or boat I what all those big boats run off from me last year I've just got a 40horse on my 18 foot flat bottom.

 

[AThornton]

Yea Rat, but that 18 footer you got is nice too!

Shark you should definitely fish our CFF Tx's with us, as well as Ratmans Tx's on Fridays. He runs a good laid back Tx that grew to be a good little weekly dogfight by last August. I'm guessing by the looks of it it will be a little bigger this year....

And our CFF Tx's are all about fun and fellowship moreso than winning huge piles of money. With the way the pay scale is set up, no one will get rich fishing these, but everyone has a good chance of going home with a little cash in their pocket. But the fishing will definitely rank 2nd behind the fellowship at the ramp and BS stories being swapped by the second! Come out and join us!!
