Forum | Anybody wanna make some money come October????

Well they tend to change the rules,they created a regiional now defunct,they said no pouints from elsewhere other than region ,now again they permit those just not for regional pt champ.

Its been a rule for some time now aoy wins a boat np anyone wins a boat np but can win only 1 per season,so if you have one already (won one) can fish but cannot win a second boat.You can win the T and second place then gets the boat,as you already won one.

Having its roots in MBA many years back several times it was the point leader gained the the title angler of the year and an associate cannot or could not win it but did,awarded to second place.

So an assiaciate could have the total pts and not be aoy,yet won a boat if he won the T,come in second or third be sol even though he had the most pts.(Believe they were sued over that several times) thus possibly why now days aoy can be an associate.

Last but not least get on their list and they tend to do things to you.last year their was i believe a discrempency about a guy who had total pts and wasnt pt leader,under the rules ten years  ago hed a been angler of the year.Its all about money,and amount of people the T can generate to bring to a town,and they tend to exagerate a bit.

previously before the regionals and no points elsewhere, any gotten anywhere counted towards point leader AOY,there were or was no fishoff between aoy district leaders.This did give fla and tex guys a big advantage but who cares,we also went to sc etc and fished it all counted.

The nationals themselves determined who was aoy (he had to be military) and then whoever was first place in the T got a boat as well,providing he wasnt aoy and already had won one.

They tend to groom some-Chris Bullock-who still fishes bass and also aba -notice rules changed there as well can fish up to 3 pro T and still fish aba,ther are guys who fish the whole string of flw and fish aba,to me thats an infraction and a blind eye on their part.

So it all boils down to what list your on.

As it stands he should be able to fish however that said they are a private org and have the right to change their minds even though they wont change yours.

They also tend to monkey around with some military like the coast guard anyone with 700 pts would make the team just not that many of them fishing now firemen,police,private army from iraq etc got in the cg section.????

If this has been long and lengthy and you realise that nothing is written in stone and they hold the chisel its served its purpose.Its their org and they make the rules.

Seldom do many like what they announce.

And whats done is generally done for $ and has nothing to do with you,or your sport in general.

I would of course put you on fish,14-15 lbs a day three days running for 10 percent of the purse.Stock up on horney toads.

If you put a cap on that offer…. say 10% of the highest cash award we might could work something out… But if, by chance, I were to win the boat there's no way I could afford to pay 10% of the over inflated retail value they assign to those prize boats. Even on my own I feel pretty comfortable I'll be able to compete. I've got a fair amount of experience fishing all different types of lakes. A lot the anglers going to Nationals only have experience on their home lakes which typically are waaaaay different than what they encounter at say Pickwick or Kentucky Lakes.

What color/size horny toads???

Well Doug I shure have the room,unfortunately bewteen either waking my wife up in the am or disturbing any one of my five dogs you wouldnt survive to make it to the boat ramp.

Staying even in paris 18 miles away one would pay 43 bucks for the  cheapest motel room available and not like it,48 and not to shabby,near teh lake most likly booked already the lake motel tad higher,but with eating place nearby(Seatons),then theres the resorts that have rooms,buchanan and cyprus bay.

My humble opinion at 60 a night the house is a far better place to be in as can cook in it.7-8 min drive at best,with a complete kit one can have at least have  cold drinks even if you dont want to cook.You can of course take a walk at any motel and buy one out of a machine,somewhat dependent on what that machine has.

Steve just recently moved from springville to puryear which is 35 min away.so at a guess since we are the only two nearby your sol.
