Kent & St. Clair Paper Tournments

I am ready to get this season started. I am looking forwards to the ABA's first event of the season on Kent Lake 5/6/07 at the West Launch.  Followed by St. Clair on 5/20/07

Here is our complete 2007 schedule.
http://www.americanbassanglers.com/districts2007.php?district=7

2007 Paper Tournament Rules (Note there is one small change in bold)

Everyone must have a Golden Rule Weigh Master GG-51 Large Mouth Bass Bump Board. If you don't have one I will have a dozen on hand at a cost of $15.00 per board.

In the ABA we draw to see who rides with whom... Your non-boater would measure your fish and write them down and you would his. We take your best 5 fish as your final weight.

Boaters if you bring a non-boater with you your both guaranteed to fish. If you show up without a boater or non-boater it is first come first serve. You must have your link with you at the time of registration.

IN the ABA you cannot knowingly catch the same fish twice and count it.. nor can your non-boater catch a fish you caught, nor can you tell a friend about a fish you caught during the event. If a written complaint is made and the official feels you violated the rule you will be DQed...

This is basically and inch tournament but we convert inches to weight for several reasons.

1) Standings are computed in weight on our site and on our official paperwork.

2) Year end standings...

3) It's cool to say I caught X amount of weight ..

If you've never done an ABA paper tourney I highly suggest you give it a try. I think you will enjoy it..

Tight lines ......

didn't pre-registered anglers get picked before anglers that signed up the day of the event..  i know last year my non boater fished and his brother was one that didn't.   hope the ice and snow melt by then.

Any non-boater want to sign up with me let me know.

What is this link you speak of?

Boaters and Non-boaters who register together (link) are guaranteed to fish.

Boaters and Non-Boaters who sign up without a link are chosen by the order they register.

If we have more boaters then non-boaters (or vice versa) those who did not link will be the odd men out.

Yes but anyone can become a member $25 per year and you get our magazine. This allows you to fish any ABA event anywhere. If your a Federation Member you can get a free membership.

something for guys to consider when looking into joining the ABA is that your $25 membership is good in all ABA divisions across the country, lets say you and your family are in florida at disney world and you decide you want to try fishing for florida hogs but have no boat and no knowlege of the area well its as simple as finding an ABA tourney in florida and showing up as a non boater and getting a guided trip for $70 with a shot at a refund thats the best deal out there.
Go Big or Go Home!

No .... The ABA has no affiliation with the BFL ....

You would need to become an ABA member $25.00 ... If you were a Federation Member you could get your ABA Membership for free ... Everyone has to pay the entry fee.
