Berkley B1 is searching for scrutineers

[Chabot]

Good day everyone!

 

 

My name is Maxime Chabot and I've been mandated to recruit scrutineers for the Berkley B1 tournament. I am also in charge of the fishing section at Sail dix30 in Brossard

 

 

I am currently recruiting people to join the Berkley B1 as observers. This is an incredible chance to get into the action in great boats to watch bass specialist at work. Held on magnificent Lake Saint Francis, 150 teams will compete for the championship. Smallmouth bass in the 7 pound range and weigh-in 5 fish bags of over 30 pounds is what we're expecting.

 

 

To be a scrutineer you must be over 18 years of age and must be available the 2nd and 3rd of October 2010 from 5:00 until approximately 15:30.There will also be a meeting in Lachine in mid September (date to be announced) to cover any information you might need and a short "tournament scrutineer" training session.

 

 

Every observer will receive a special edition tournament hat and surprise bag on the morning of October 2nd.

 

 

To register, simply email me your name and phone number to:

[email protected]

 

Thank you.

Very good bunch of guys and great organizing on the B1 Staff. I will be fishing it and if I was not I would for sure be a scrutineer. Great chance to get to know some very good guys and learn a ton of stuff. You see guys on here all the time talking about the slow bite in late fall. Well here is you chance to learn how alot of guys tackle cold water and remember that the Bass season has been extended to Dec 15 this year.
