looking to enter this as a co-angler, be my first big tournament and since it's close to home i want to do this. anyone going as a boater that would like to get hooked up and any tips for the tourney

needing a boater for this tournament, if anyone is available let me know. would like to get hooked up w/someone ahead of time

Just so you know, you won't fish with your boater. They do a draw the night before. I don't have any Pickwick specific tips, but learn from your boater. The BFLs are at a level where you get all sorts of boater skill levels. Some who would struggle to catch fish in the local farm ponds, and some who would have a chance to make it on tour. Either way, they all present a really good opportunity to learn a little bit more about tournament fishing.

i was told by flw and another guy fishing it that as long as i signed up by the priority date and mentioned that boater we would be paired together. this not true??

You'll be paired up as in he'll have you as a guaranteed co and you'll have him as a guaranteed boater. That's how they word it, and it's ery misleading. All it means is that you get bumped ahead of others for entry into the tournment. You'll still be in the draw for your boater on the tournament day.

If you haven't signed up yet, you'll want to immediately. The co-angler spots fill up fast, especially early in the year. There's likely already a waiting list on the co-angler side. If you get a guy to put you as a guaranteed co, you can call in and link up with him to get in.

thanks for the info. im already signed up for it.
