Questions about Sanford lake bass club

[gmetime24]

Hey guys I am new to the web site been have been bass fishing all my life. I have recently moved closer to Sanford lake and plan on spending a great deal of time on the water as soon as the ice is gone. I was thinking about joining the club this year or next and had some questions.  I own a 19ft sea ray and was wondering if this type of boat is OK for these tournaments..do you need a live well on board?...is an I/O engine ok?  What is the cost to join the club and do you need to fish all the tournaments or can you just fish 1 or 2 of them??  Thanks

Welcome to the site. I dont know any particulars about this club, but I do know, you will need a livewell. Every tournament I've ever seen has a penalty for any dead fish. Most are very adamant about preserving the resourse. thanks again for joining the site. You'll love it here.

So i take it a basket you can set in the water wont work??

You'll have to check with the club, but most tournaments, no. You have to have an aerated livewell. As far as I know. Some of them, you may be able to get by with a cooler with an aerator in it.

yeah, you need a livewell, you don't have to fish out of your boat though, come as a coangler, and draw a boat to fish with one of us.

our next meeting is tuesday feb 2 at 7 pm at the sanford lake bar and grill.  we will be all the way in the back.
