In some form or another, there IS going to be a British Bass Tour this year.
This will basically involve (whoever fancies it) fishing any number of planned 'meets' to earn points. And points mean prizes! (not cash!)
The main aim will be just to get as many of us as possible fishing the same area at the same time; travelling around a bit to enjoy different locations, generally having a laugh, catching, measuring and releasing fish over a certain length (probably 50cm). Points will then be awarded to each angler depending on their overall position (longest fish wins kind of thing) and the points you earn over any rounds you fish will be tallied up and hopefully leave you in a position to win some truly splendid prizes!! Wahooooooo!! Don't worry if you can't fish them all though (not many of us will!) because only your best 3 points scores will probably count! Maybe even only 2 if we have very few events - so it's not anything that you need to be 100% committed to. Just come along and fish as often as you can or want to!
You'l be able to track your results and progress on a new Bass Tour website where there will be pictures and reports from each round; along with results tables and current leader results.
Dates are yet to be arranged, especially early in the year, but Weymouth and Jersey Festivals are both likely to count as points scoring rounds. More events will be set up around the UK to enable as many of us as possible to meet up and have an enjoyable days fishing - most likely 24 hours from start to finish on non-festival (Jersey/Weymouth) events.
This is a 100% catch and release exercise so you will need to carry a measuring device. We're on the case trying to source a convenient method to help you do this easily and effectively with minimal effort or inconvenience. You'll also need to carry a camera so that you can take photos of any qualifying fishies you catch. Easy! We'll provide good examples and all of the information you need for this closer to the time. The first round isn't likely to take place until at least May.
There is likely to be a one-off entry fee - this will be somewhere around £25 but is yet to be confirmed as we try to keep it as low as possible.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them below or message me for details. There are plenty of points still to be finalised but we will be able to tell you much more in time.
Anybody interested in fishing and wanting to get their name on one of the 2010 Trophies - just confirm below and we'll keep you posted with developments.
As this is the first year for such an event in the UK, we do expect it to start small, so don't be put off if it sounds too serious. Ability comes last in the order of Tour importance so no matter how long you've been lure fishing, join up and have a go!!
