Need some help...
My wife and I have been bass fishing for a number of years now and feel that we would like to try our hand at the BFL-Michigan division. However, I am not sure that I fully understand the idea of a co-angler. I have some specific questions that hopefully someone can shine some light on.
1. From reading the info on the BFL website, I am under the impression that if an FLW member registers as a boater and gets his/her entry in by the priority entry deadline, along with the co-angler's membership information that they are guaranteed to fish together. However, other sections indicate that partners will be paired by draw. Which is it?
2. The fishing limit is 5 fish. I assume that this is 5 fish per person, or a total of 10 fish for the boat. Is this correct? If so, I would assume that they should be stored in separate live wells, any tips if you only have one live well? Also, the rules indicate that a properly aerated live well with enough space to maintain alive a limit catch of bass by both contestants, my live well is only 11 gal., is it possible to have an after-market live well installed?
3. Are their any other local tournaments that we should check into?
