CLEAR LAKE - Please read page 1. Thanks and see you all at the Lake!!!

I'm down for artificial baits only. But I don't see the point in not allowing scents. Do we really need to make rules more restrictive than the bass boat guy's tourneys?

 The other thing I wonder about is if going with artificial baits will hurt attendance. I think there will be some people that won't show but really......it will be their loss.

Whatever is decided I really hope to make this. jim

I agree, let make it fun, not too competitive. Besides its June, peak of bass fishing in clear lake. I am sure whatever you throw in there will get inhaled...

either way I am attending this one for sure....

Man that logo is awesome!

I mentioned this in another thread. Live bait is not allowed in CA in bass tourneys as far as I know. DFW rules I believe. We had this discussion before about possibly the Salmon Slam and since bass were included we were not allowed to use live bait. Are we rule breakers? Bass are easy to catch in June anywhere on artificial lures.

When we had our boat CL and the Delta were our favorite spot to fish. Since having a yak I have yet to make it back up to CL. Going to do my best to be there for this event. As for multi species do not forget the monster crappie. I caught this bad boy on a big jointed jitterbug while on a night trip with a friend years back.

Dayum that crappie is a beast.

But isn't that's only if you are requesting for a Tournament permit from DFW? Like for the BPS or FLW tournys???

Big Hammer Baby!

It's all good folks, this is a multi species catch and release event.  Fish with any legal method, just dont bring any fish up to the check in table

I think I did; is it this one? If so, doesnt it only apply to Black Bass Tourneys? And it does not state anything on "Live Bait"

#3.  Only artificial lures may be used.

And from the main page.

Beginning in 1975, organizers offering prizes or other inducements for the taking of sport fish in any California water were required to obtain a fishing contest permit from the CDFW. Since 1985, organizers have been required to submit a “Fishing Contest Report” to the CDFW detailing the results of each permitted contest. In 1990, in an effort to gather more data, regulations were established that provided two types of contests, “Event” and “Annual.” An “Event” type contest permit is designed to regulate large fishing contests often run by commercial organizations. The “Annual” type contest permit is designed to gather data from smaller organized contests, such as those offered by bass clubs or individuals. Both types of contests are listed as they are entered into the tournament management database, and are available at the following link:

Also, from the "Instructions for Obtaining Permits ..." document ... file:///Users/asansano/Downloads/IF%20No.%2041%20Instructions%20%20for%20Offering%20Prizes%20for%20the%20Taking%20of%20Game%20Fish_2012%20(1).pdf

Section 230, Title 14, of the California Code of Regulations (CCR) contains the
regulations governing game fish contests. Section 2003 of the Fish and Game
Code authorizes the Department to issue a permit to any person authorizing that
person to offer prizes or other inducements in fishing contests, tournaments or
derbies for the taking of game fish. There are two exceptions: Permits are not
required for (1) frog-jumping contests or (2) fishing contests conducted in waters
of the Pacific Ocean. Game fish include the following species or species groups:
white sturgeon; American shad; salmon and trout--all species; goldfish; common
carp; hardhead; Sacramento pike minnow; western sucker; catfish and
bullheads--all species; striped bass; white bass; black bass and sunfish--all
species; tilapia--all species; sargo; bairdiella; and orangemouth corvina.

Missed #3; dooh!

But would this apply to "Black Bass Only Contest" as stated on the top?

btw: don't you sleep?
