Rules:
This club has adopted the tournament rules of the Bassmaster Federation.
Some important highlights of these rules are as follows:
Participation: Tournaments are open to persons who are 16 years of age or older and a member of the Brainerd Lakes Bassmasters.
Pre-fishing: Our club has determined pre-fishing times to be up to sun down the Wednesday before the tournament. So Thursday thru tournament day is off limits.
Safety: During the tournament each competitor is required to wear a Coast Guard-approved chest type life preserver. This preserver must be worn anytime the combustion engine is operating. This preserver must be worn until you’ve reached your fishing destination and the motor has been shut off. Violation of this rule shall be reason for disqualification.
Sportsmanship: Competitors are expected to follow high standards of sportsmanship, courtesy, safety and conservation. Use of alcohol or drugs by any competitor during the tournament will not be allowed.
Tackle and Equipment: Only artificial lures may be used. No Live bait or prepared bait will be permitted with the exception of pork strips, rinds etc. Nets are allowed.
Basic Boat Equipment: Every boat must have all required Coast Guard safety equipment. In addition it must have a functional bilge pump and live well space, properly aerated, to adequately maintain alive a limit catch of bass.
Penalty points: For each legal dead bass presented to weigh-in officials, the competitor shall be penalized 4 ounces of weight, to be deducted form his daily score.
Late Penalty: Competitors who are not in by the appointed time shall be penalized at the rate of 1 pound per minute. Any competitor more than 15 minutes late will lose all their weight for that day.
Brainerd Lakes Bassmasters point system:
1st place 30
2nd place 25
3rd place 24
4th place 23
5th place 22
6th place 21
7th place 20
8th place 19
9th place 18
10th place 17
Any ties will be broken first by the number of fish and second by the biggest fish.
2005 Additions/Changes to the Rules:
1. Anglers (boaters) will be competing against each other and the Co-anglers (non-boaters) will be competing against each other for year end trophies. The team concept will remain the same and the same points will be awarded to both team members at each tournament. But they will then be divided by category (angler and co-angler). Then at year end 1st, 2nd and 3rd place trophies will be awarded to each category. One Big Bass trophy will still be awarded for the biggest bass regardless of who caught it. (revised see 2006)
2. Anyone that doesn’t show up for a tournament and hasn’t called the tournament director beforehand will be imposed a ten point penalty from their total points after their throw-out.
3. If a boater doesn’t show up at a tournament and the non-boater is forced to leave, the non-boater will be awarded 24 points instead of the previous “lowest amount of points after all participants are awarded”.
2006 Additions/Changes to the Rules:
1. There is always a five fish limit for all teams at all BLB tournaments even if all boats are filled with two partners.
2. Amend rule #1 under 2005 additions/changes to read: Anglers (boaters) and Co-anglers (non-boaters) will be competing directly against each other for year end trophies. The team concept will remain the same and the same points will be awarded to both team members at each tournament. There will be NO category (angler and co-angler) division. At year end there will be five trophies awarded and one big bass.

BRAINERD LAKES BASSMASTERS
April 2, 2006, MEETING MINUTES
The Brainerd Lakes Bassmasters met Sunday, April 2, 2006, at The Old Waterfall. The meeting was called to order at 2:00 PM, by President Dan Doughty.
Present were: Kim Borden, Keith Tuma, Jim Eide, Dan Doughty, Wade Hollingsworth, Chad Ingvalson, Greg Kangas, Craig Paulson, Rod Romine, Mike Dieter, Tom Conway, Reid Seevers and Justin Goss
Welcome new members: Tom Conway, Justin Goss, Rick Nustvold and Larry Hauglie.
The minutes from the February 26, 2006 minutes were approved as written.
In the absence of the treasurer, Scott Roesner, the treasurers report was read by Greg Kangas. We have a balance of $875. Gregt collected the $20 membership fees for anyone attending that hadn’t paid at a previous meeting and all tournament fees with the exception of Troy Bruns whom was not present. Greg also collected Federation dues from Rod, Tom and Justin.
Keith and Rod reported on the March Federation meeting in Medina. They were late for the meeting and were counted as not present but Dan emailed the state Federation president and got us marked as present.
The final Federation meeting was suppose to be attended by Troy Bruns but Troy has indicated that will not be able to attend the April 15 Federation meeting. At this meeting there will be a vote for 2007 TOC location. The vote will be for either Horseshoe Chain, Leech Lake or Mississippi River Pools 4 and 5.
We signed up three more Federation members (Rod, Justin and Tom) in an effort to insure a full team at state this year. We were hoping to sign a total of four.
Dan went over the membership levels and fees again:
Local BLB Club: $20 annually, entitles you to be a member of the Brainerd Lakes Bassmaster’s, including voting rights. Mandatory for anyone fishing BLB tournaments.
B.A.S.S. $14 annually (optional for club members, mandatory for Federation members). Members receive the monthly magazine Bassmaster.
State Federation: $50 annually (optional for club members, mandatory for anglers participating in the State Federation (TOC) Tournament of Champions). This would entitle you to receive the Bass n Times tabloid. Everyone qualifying and intending to fish the 2007 TOC must pay their 2006 State Federation dues now.
ESPN BASS: $20 annually. Mandatory for Federation members. These dues are paid by BLB’s general fund. This is our insurance dues for our club events.
Tournament Fees: $50 annually. This is mandatory for all club members. It’s a $10 per tournament fee to help cover the costs of trophies and plaques.
Jim Eide made a motion to change the rules back to the previous rules that we don’t segregate the boaters and the non-boaters in our points system and that we go back to having one set of year end trophies (1st – 5th and Big Bass).
Reversing this rule imposed in 2005: 1. Anglers (boaters) will be competing against each other and the Co-anglers (non-boaters) will be competing against each other for year end trophies. The team concept will remain the same and the same points will be awarded to both team members at each tournament. But they will then be divided by category (angler and co-angler). Then at year end 1st, 2nd and 3rd place trophies will be awarded to each category. One Big Bass trophy will still be awarded for the biggest bass regardless of who caught it.
