I love them all. I had a great experience at the 444 in port colbourne. Well run tourney and lots of fun. Plus the fishing is different then I’m used to and I got to learn a lot. 
Sunset is cool because of the money and venue. Tourney got big fast. Don is working on making improvements on various things for next year. 
Rob Ray tourney have a good payout little more relaxed but a lot of fun. 
Jim and Diane on the Innovative Outdoors Tourney Run a great tourney and it’s got bigger every year. Payouts are good and they are on the ball. 
I fish the Con Club and it’s a great run tourney. I just don’t prefer a big fish format. (Or maybe I’m bitter because we led for two days and blew it on day three for a third place finish)
I’ll be honest I really miss the two day 5 or 6 fish tourney.  So much strategy after day one and putting together a 6 fish box two days in a row is hard.

I’ve been watching this from afar but no more-Don’t let this thread end glfisherman until you get some response- I really enjoyed this tournament but now I have a bad taste in my mouth- What total BS- captain Dons silence disappoints me greatly. I wonder who put YOUR graph in their boat....? I wish you the best gl. I can’t believe no other participants have expressed their 2cents. This should bother everyone who fished it- Friends of Don or not!

Out this evening drift fishing and bottom bouncing, six in the box on copper backed harnesses in around 4hrs or so. 68-70fow west of the point. A few perch and white bass mixed in. Drift was only pushing us .6-1.3mph.

i can adjust to .1/.15 mph but  do have a pretty big boat. mines a 2452 bay liner hard top. top speed with kicker is 7.5 mph.
im guessing I can adjust about 50/75 rpm increments.  im thinking of maybe getting a smart troll this winter just for the hunt mode option.

Trade pending

Willing to part them out as well. Best offer takes one both or whatever part you need.

I have a cannon uni-troll hp and a cannon marlin hp electric downrigger for sale. They could use some TLC. Extendable booms, no rod holders or terminators. I connected the Marlin to a car battery and it DID NOT function. I don’t have the time or desire to mess with them. Figure someone can rehab them or use them for parts. Looking for 125 for the pair/best offer/trade. Located in Orchard Park NY.

Appreciate the insight. Which tournaments are your favorites?

I don't have any "bottom bouncers", but I'm going to get some because I'd like to try it. I did Goggle it like you suggested and watched a lot of videos on it. Most of them were trolling, but I did see a couple where they were drifting. Your explanation of how you do it was well written, and makes me want to try it just to feel that bite. I spent alot of money on down riggers & equipment, and you probably catch just as many fish. Thanks for the information and an excellent article.

You can also set up a sinker off a three way swivel. Then your harness or stick off the other just give about a foot or two of line from the sinker to the swivel

No results and now I’m hearing that some folks are having trouble getting their winnings. Anyone else hear anything? I wonder what gives

That’s great information. How much control do you have with your speed. Can you adjust your speed within .1 or.2 mph?

Anyone running anew 9.9 kicker with EFI? Wondering with remote controls if they troll down to speed accurate enough to not need a control king or smart troll?

Thanks

I’ve been fishing a few tournaments for a few years now and would like to expand in the future. I have noticed that not all the tournaments treat weigh ins the same. Some measure the length and weight while others that have minimum length requirements don’t measure the length. Is this common?

Also some check the fish for things stuffed in them, others not. Why doesn’t every tournament, check the length, check the stomachs/throats and run a metal detector by the fish? I’m sure there is a thought process behind it, just looking for some insight. Given the $ on the line for these it would seem like it should all be standardized.

Any recommendations for tournaments that you like?

Thanks all.
