A GUIDEBOOK FOR TOURNAMENT ANGLERS & ORGANIZERS

Thirty-five years ago, B.A.S.S. introduced the catch-and-release concept to tournament bass fishing. Post-tournament survival of released bass has increased significantly since then as technology has improved and angler knowledge has increased. B.A.S.S. has played a key role in publicizing the development and use of state-of-the-art fish-care techniques. The first edition of Keeping Bass Alive was a milestone publication that became the standard that anglers and tournament directors looked to for information.

Prior to this years Bassin Big Bucks which will commence on the 10th October at Lake Glenbawn there will be a prefish ban of 2 weeks before the event. Those of you that fish ABT events should be familiar with this as they have prefish bans before all of their events. A prefish ban means no fishing and no boating by competitors on that dam during this time. Those that are caught on the dam will not be allowed to compete. The ban will start at 6pm on Sunday the 27th September and will go right through to 6pm on the 9th October, and yes the Friday just before the event is also included in the ban.

Bassin feels that this will make the competition much more competitive especially for those of you that are not local and also make for better fishing as the Bass won’t get stung on the Friday.

The Big Bucks is a 3 session skins event with some great cash up for grabs. The cash is divided up and given away at each session to the top 3 placed teams. So every session anglers all start on an equal playing field. Teams have 3 chances to win over 2 days.
There will also be a “Big Bass” cash Prize along with lots of sponsor’s giveaways. There will also be the chance for Teams to “Option Up” if they want to back themselves and win more cash.

Registration forms can be downloaded or submitted online through our Registrations page.
Hope to see you there.

Bassin R4 2009 215

On what could only be classed as perfect conditions for fishing, 70 teams greeted the start line for the fourth round of the Blue Acres/Lamiglas 2009 NSW Bassin Tournament at a picturesque Lake Glenbawn.

With the water level having risen since the last visit and with reports of the fishing being a bit easier than previous comps coming true, a total of 315 fish were brought to the weigh station at an average weight of 860grams, a considerable increase in weight from the last visit here in April where the average was 695grams.

At the end of the weekend round #3 winners & the most consistent team so far, Team Loomis’s Mick Pascoe & Joel Norman came from 3rd place over night to take out the event with a 12 from 12 limit of 11.480kgs.

Sitting in 2nd place overnight Team Gecko lures tried hard to get into the #1 position and did all they could to bring in their 4 fish for the morning but it was not enough but still maintained their 2nd spot on the board with a 12 from 12 limit of 11.040kgs.

Team Kiwi consisting of Dave & Rana Trinder brought in the 2nd biggest bag for session #3 of 3.920kgs which jumped them from 5th spot overnight to take out 3rd overall with a 12 from 12 limit of 10.840kgs.

The Eva Kool Big Bass of 1.890kgs was caught in Session #1 by Boatland Marines Steve Woods using a slow roll retrieve of a 3” Slider grub in Smoke Yellow Core colour.

The junior division was taken out by Team Big Games angler Dominic Jordan fishing his first comp with a 2 from 3 fish limit of 1.910kgs.

The Encouragement awards sponsored by Damiki & Dreamfish went to father & son team of Malcolm & Luke Draper from Team Draper and Team Maverick consisting of Stuart Rae & Michael Bunt.
