GoneFishin Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 I've been wondering the same thing! I would love to enter a bass fishing derby but wouldn't be able to keep up with pro's lol. I tried to search for some but couldn't find what I was looking for. If any one knows any that would be awsome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 I dont think you will find to many without one or two pros fishing. The season is short and tourneys are limited. There is the Toonie tourney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aniceguy Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 (edited) Join a local bass club for $60 generally. Then fish the club torunaments some are low key 10 boats or so some like the one I fished today are 20 plus boats. Usually the fees as a non boater are $40 or so to fish the tourny $50 as a non boater fee to the boater for gas and your good to go. Cant get much lower key then that where you can fish off a bass boat. two sites http://www.goldenhorseshoebassanglers.ca/phpBB2/index.php and http://www.bigfatbass.com/index.php Edited July 19, 2008 by aniceguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kulik Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Nice guy has the best advice-trust me it can be a tough learning curve on your own-with a club its inexpensive and you can go as a non-boater-check out the Canadian Bass anglers federation or Downtown Bass anglers out of Oshawa-great bunch of guys more than willing to teach-pm me if you need more info-Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest skeeter99 Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 (edited) you give them to much credit i have fished 27 bass tournaments I have 1 win 2 3rd's and my worst tournament I finished 31 and the average tournament has about 80 boats just this year in 2 tournaments I have a 18 and 23 place finish, and I only fish about 3 to 4 times a week and by no means a professional the last tournament 2 guys who I did not even know with a 16 foot bassboat with a 115hp weighed in over 20 pounds to beat the **pros** remember fishing is a individual sport and it is more mental tougness than you think you fish hard non stop for 8 hours, thinking every cast you will get a fish and here is something to think about !!were do they go to eat after the day of fishing **MCDONALDS JUST LIKE YOU** Edited July 20, 2008 by skeeter99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The local bass club here is over $300!! Is Big Fat Bass a bass club??? I am sceptical about joining a bass club, now that my partner is ill, but for $60?? Will definitely consider it! Any around Toronto(North York)? I asked a few friends. Does anyone know the number of The Bass Pro shop bass club run by David Chong?

aniceguy Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 (edited) JB both of those sites have sections that list the local clubs....$300.00 I havent heard that one as of yet... One other point to mention....most of the clubs are usually looking for non boaters to fish....getting on a boat with someone who knows what they are doing makes the curve easier....and to top it off can even put money in your pocket Edited July 20, 2008 by aniceguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well over $300 for the first year and then $200 or so every following year. Don't know what that includes. I have a boat but I have no problems getting on someone else's boat. As long as they are not burning hundreds of dollars of gas on the boat a day........ I am getting all the information now. We will see what happens...

GBW Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Does anyone know the number of The Bass Pro shop bass club run by David Chong? check out cbaf.ca and you will find the BPS chapter info there. Yes, it is only $65.00 a year to join too. As a non-boater for the events myself it's a great deal when you look at at. I just with it was Aug 10th already...

Stoty Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Fishing against pros in big bass boats doesn't matter. My buddy and I fished a tourney on Rice Lake back 3-4 years ago in his 16 ft, with a 30 HP and finished in the top 20. we beat quite a few pros, one who had a 21ft bass boat with a 225, and his own TV show! Just because you aren't a "pro" doesn't mean you cant compete with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Whys that?
