Welcome to the board.

There are tournaments throughout the year. This specific event was a special tournament run with Mel Cottons, but BNT and SCBBBC hold events most months of the year. You can check the schedule out by clicking on the link above.

A couple people have been known to launch off calpac ;) so just make a post the next time your heading out there and I'm sure you can find someone willing to meet you out there for a day of fishing. If you see me up there in a red Z20 once the barrier is back down feel free to say hi.

In terms of a livewell, you will have to make one, best suggestion would be to look through the rigging pages, I think Mitch set up in the photo section in the BNT website. Also if you search the forum for the words live well in the search feature with the Float Tube board highlighted you will get a ton of posts concerning ways to setup a livewell that have been posted over the years.

You should go to the upcoming Sonoma event at Clear Lake if you can make it, it is a great tournament with a great raffle.
