#452, "Bass-n-Tubes guys don't forget"


          

For the Clear Lake invitational the size limit on the fish is 12 inches and not 13 like the Bass-n-Tubes tournaments. I would hate for someone to throw away the fish that would have put them in the money because it was 12.5 inches!
If you didn't catch Andy's email, the check in time is 5:45am on Saturday morning at the bridge at Rodman's Slough. Weigh in is at 4pm for the 1st day. Entry fee is $60 which includes $100 payout for big fish both days and also pays the top 1/3 of the field (also different than bass-n-tubes).

Are there any other changes we should know about? Or is every thing else the same as B-N-T?

Paul,
Rob summed it up,everything else is the same.There is some diffrence in dead vs. short fish penalty
0.5lb for short
0.2lb for dead
0.2lb for every minute late for weigh in,must be within cast length of weigh-in site (approximately 30 ft) by weigh-in time. Over 20 minutes late & you're DQ'd for the day.

Good luck

Nah. Just the size limit. But I thought big fish payout was $200 per day. Oh well. No biggie.

Linda decided not to deal with a livewell on her kickboat. She'll be draggin around her basket. I did make a pretty big well for the truck though. I put a 500 gph bilge pump in it to circulate the water and spray it back in from the top. Works pretty well.

Chris

Paul
That was all I could remember off the top of my head. I will check the email Andy sent when I get home and post if I see anything additional that is different. They were talking about a slightly later check in on Sunday and weigh in at 2pm. Other than that things should be about the same.

Here are the rules directly from Andy, the only other difference I noticed aside from what was already mentioned was the part about fishing from shore/dock etc.

- Tubes/kickboats must be powered by fins & oars only - no motors, sails, etc.
- 12" minimum by Will-E-Go board - short fish get 0.5 lb penalty & loss of fish
- 0.2 lb dead fish penalty, regardless of size, although trophy fish may be kept (but they have to be alive @ weigh-in)
- 0.2 lb/minute late weigh-in penalty - must be within cast length of weigh-in site (approximately 30 ft) by weigh-in time. Over 20 minutes late & you're DQ'd for the day.
- All fishing with only artificials & from floating tube or kickboat (no fishing while standing on bank, dock, swimming platforms, etc.) - otherwise, DQ city for the whole tournament.
- All anglers must have valid CA fishing license as required by law
- Anglers may not accept assistance from boats, jet skis, etc. or other anglers to move about the lake. Anglers may portage their tubes/kickboats by auto/truck, etc.
