Bob :

I've been looking at the American Bass Angler tournaments in my region (Lake
Champlain, VT District 81) and I'm interested in fishing it this coming
summer. One thing that's keeping me from deciding for sure right nwo though
is that it seems as if you cannot choose your own partner. From what I
understand from the tournament director for this region is, you show up, and
non-boaters get paired by random draw with boaters.

So, I would just like to ask you, how have you and your partner managed to
consistently fish together ? Does your district have different rules ?

I have a friend that I'd like to do the tournaments with. We both have
boats, but there is no guarantee, it seems, that we'd be paired as partners
if one of us came with his boat, and the other came without his boat. And I
don't really want to go fishing with someone I don't know.

Hope you can clear this up for me .... thanks ! By the way -
congratulations ! Our bass fishing season doesn't open until the second
Saturday in June in Vermont so no tournaments until then !

Hammer and I fished another ABA tournament today. 45 boats were signed
up.
We finished 2nd, and Hammer nailed down the big fish of the day AGAIN for
our 3rd big fish in a row, and our 4th this season. It was a 6.55lb LM.
The guy is a very good stick. I hope some of it rubs off. I boated a few
fish, but nothing special.
