I wanted to see who would be interested in Thursday tournaments as we are just finalizing up a schedule for Thursday tournaments (bass mainly) that will have almost all locations within one hour of SLC so that people can fish on weekdays and still make it home by 5pm.
Tournaments will be on the first and third Thursday of the month starting in May and finishing in August or Sept (date to be decided based on participation). We will not fish on the first Thursday in July - only the third Thursday that month due to the holiday.
In talking to people I have realized there are people that would like to fish tournaments but Saturdays due not work for them due to family, obligations, dislike fishing with all the "power squadron" or work schedules. So THIS is an opportunity for those of you that would like to fish small tournaments to have a chance to do so on a weekday. Also it is a GREAT chance for those of you that want to learn more about bass fishing to have a good time and learn a lot about techniques and mindset to fishing for Bass and tournaments in general.
This will be an angler/coangler format where there is a draw a few days before each tournament (exact date has not been decided as the Tuesday before would be best so people know if they will make it for sure but the Thursday before could be nice so you can prefish together over the weekend if you would like).
This drawing will more than likely via Skype or the like so that it is "live" and so everyone can see who they are fishing with and it will be drawn at random.
Tournaments will be first safe light until 1:00 or 2:00pm.
The reason for not doing team tournaments is there will be an end of the year championship and some people's schedule may not allow them to attend all events and we do not want those other "team mates" at a di
vantage when a "team member" could not make it.
It will be a "paper tournament" as to keep it as simple as possible and minimize fees paid out of entry fees so that maximum amount (100%) of entry fees can be paid out to contestants.
DO POST IN THIS THREAD if you are interested in fishing these tournaments as they will be held at Deer Creek, East Canyon, Jordanelle, Pineview and Starvation (possibly a mantua or Utah Lake one depending on interest and water levels).
Also do post if you would be an Angler (boater) or co-angler (non-boater).
