Hello all. I am a new poster but have been the forums for a while now and have really obtained some valuable information. I have some questions concerning fishing tournaments as a co angler. This year I plan on fishing the weekend series at Kentucky Lake as a co angler and just wanted to get some more information on what I can expect. I have done some research online and read a couple articles on the topic. I guess im just wondering....
Are all boaters welcoming to co anglers in their boats or do some feel its a burden they just have to deal with?
When fishing from the back deck, where am I not allowed to fish?
What are the cardinal rules to abide by when fishing as a co angler?
Is the amount of tackle and rods set by the tournament rules or is it up to the discretion of the boater?
I have been interested in doing this for some time and just want to get some insight from those who have done it and maybe some boaters who have had co anglers in their boats. My number one goal is to learn as much as I can. I love this sport so much but just dont have a boat. My friend I fish with is scared to fish tournaments and he is the one with the boat. Any help whatsoever on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Justin
