Tournament Rules: The Camden Bassmasters have adopted the New York State Bass Chapter
Federation Tournament Rules,
click here, with the following exceptions:
1. Any boat equipped with an
outboard engine of 50 hp or less will receive a 20 minute
head start. This provides the smaller boat the chance to
reach a distant fishing spot at about the same time the guys
with the big boats do.
2. non-boater/boater
pairings is left up to the members. While it is encouraged
for members to to occasionally switch up partners from time
to time we understand anglers new to the sport prefer to
fish with members they know.
3. There is no set "off-limits"
period. As many of our members have odd schedules and work
Saturdays, making it impossible to pre-fish, we have no set
off-limit period.
4. There is no minimum
horsepower rule. Your boat must be equipped with all the
safety equipment and features set forth by US Coast Guard
regulations and a working live-well large enough to keep two
limits of fish alive for the duration of the tournament.
5. The non-boater shared gas &
oil expense for the 2008 season has been set at $30.00 per
tournament.
6. Un-paired boaters will be
able to compete fishing from their own boats, and will not
be forced to fish together in one boat, leaving the other
angler's at the ramp.
7. The boater and non-boater
will share control of the boat, each having say where they
will fish in their 4 hour period, which includes travel
time. This means the non-boater can direct the boater to go
to their spot and they may operate the trolling motor, it
does not give the non-boater permission to operate the gas
motor.
