vinnimon Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 I was brainstorming today and thought about having a little tourney on lake simcoe in the spring or summer.The requirements are that no sonars,riggers,or any electronics to find fish or depth can be used.And on top of that you are required to use rods and reels prior to 1970.I know it sounds off beat but I was looking at an old rod that a friend gave me with the reel and steel line(his grandfathers).Well his grandfather used it specifically for simcoe fishing for lake trout.And im determined to do the same.OH and the lures applies too, pre 1970.Handheld gps and emergency radios allowed or safety reasons.Its just a thought and obviously a good portion of the money will go to some charity,maybe like saturdays tourney Any opinions would be great.I know its a little different but man wouldnt it be interesting.

BillM Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 I think you'll end up with 5 guys, 2 boats and no fish.... If you want as many people as possible, get rid of those silly requirements.. Why not a OFC Pro/Am or similar? Match up the seasoned bass guys with the not so seasoned bass guys and go at it for a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just a thought running threw my mind,would be interesting dont you think?Turnout would be extremely low indeed.A pro/am would be awesome.And to make it more interesting the pros have to fish out of the ams boat.Oh and im sure there will be issues with that also.Like I said I just a thought running threw my mind for now.

BillM Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 I think a lot of amateurs won't have boats, I think that's one of the great points about a Pro/Am.. Get them out in a boat with all kinds of bells and whistles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure anyone who has lures pre-1970's is going to want to take the chance of losing them by fishing them, since many are likely worth something, monetarily or sentimentally. The only pre-1970's lures I have are my grandfathers, and I'm not fishing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meegs Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 id have to agree with Bill. As soon as i read tournament, that got my interest. As soon as I heard those stipulations, then no. I wish that ther ewas some sort of lake trout tournament out there durring the summer months! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loonietoon Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 (edited) The only reason they don't want to try and fish that way is because they don't know how to use a sinker & worm...... Edited February 22, 2010 by Loonietoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTHM Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 It would be a fun thing to do, but getting the tackle would be difficult I think. PS: Thanks for the fish! And other stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
