Bass Match: A new way to fish bass tournaments in 2007


bassfishingnerd

Recommended Posts

We are currently looking for bass anglers for the 2007 season. As of right now we have divisions in Minnesota, Arizona and Tennessee. We are not limited to just these states. We can start a division in your state and near you. Our format is the perfect way to get into bass tournaments without paying large entry fees.

Here is how it works:

Once you join Bass Match we put you in a division close to where you live. You will be notified by email when the schedules have been set. You will then contact (telephone or email) your opponent and set up a time for your match. Things to discuss will be the time, date, and where your match will be held. You have to complete your match before the divisional tournament. Once you complete your match log on to www.bassmatch.com and fill out your match report. Contact your next pairing and set up your next match. You can also fish your matches any time before the divisional tournament. Once everyone in your division finishes their matches we will compile the points to see who will be invited to the State T.O.C.

The Fees:

The Fees are $100 for five matches, which is only $20 per match. The entry fees in your division stay in your division and are paid out after the division tournament. If you qualify for the state tournament the entry fee for the state tournament is $40 plus a $10 big bass pot option. Fees can be paid online via your Pay Pal account or by sending a check.

State or Division Directors:

We are also looking for State and Division Directors to help run divisions. State and Division Directors are able to fish in the matches for free and get an automatic invitation to their state tournament. Please contact us for more details on how to become a director in your area.

For all details and rules check us out at www.bassmatch.com or email your questions to us at [email protected] or [email protected]

Keep the entries coming! I know it's tough to get motivated with three feet of snow on the ground! laugh.gif

We have 22 and growing. I figure everyone will finally get motivated in the next month or so when the snow is off the ground.

Any more guys in the cities interested? We only need a couple of more guys to get that division up and going. The NW metro division is doing well, and we would like to have a few more guys from St. Cloud as well. smile.gif

It would be nice if you could get signed up before the 20th, since the dues are supposed to be sent to us by then. smile.gif We need to set up the schedule soon so we can get going. Last year, we had quite a few last minute folks sign up.

could there be a far drive for these events? I'm in the metro area, could a drive to the great north be expected?

Hi Bobby,

We are going to set the matches as close as possible. It looks like we are going to make one big division for the metro, west metro and st. cloud. We have a few in each, so you should not have to go far.

Let me know if you have any more questions! smile.gif

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
