Hello

The Allen High School Bass team is low on boat captains this year. My partner and I have rods and lures but no boat or captain.
If anyone would like to help us out that would be greatly appreciated.

The first Tournament will be held at Joe Poole Lake on September 27th and registration is due on the 20th. it is fine if we miss this tournament but we have to fish at least 4 to make it in to the regional/state championship.

If you would like to volunteer you MUST be able to pass a background check

AHS fishes under the Texas High School Bass Association and your boat must meet these standards if you wish to volunteer:

BOAT AND HORSEPOWER REGULATION � All boats must be propeller-driven and a minimum of 16
feet in length. Each boat must have all required U.S. Coast Guard safety equipment. Boats must contain a
properly aerated live well space to maintain alive a limit catch of bass. Maximum horsepower for all
outboards must not to exceed the horsepower capacity set forth on the �Maximum Capacities� placard
described below. Each boat must have a clearly legible �Maximum Capacities� (or comparably titled) placard
that includes a maximum horsepower rating affixed to the boat by the manufacturer. The horsepower of the
outboard engine must not exceed the maximum horsepower capacity specified on this placard. A maximum
speed of boat operation shall not exceed 60 MPH during any competition day. By signing the entry form,
contestants and coaches agree to submit their boat and/or motor to an inspection by tournament officials.
Falsifying information on entry forms or altering the horsepower numbers on the motor or rating placard will
be cause for disqualification from the tournament and may result in ineligibility to compete in future High
School Fishing tournaments. Fishing platforms must be factory-installed equipment. No portable platforms
may be used in tournament competition. Fuel may be carried only in factory-installed (built-in) fuel tanks or
auxiliary fuel tanks that are securely strapped or otherwise fastened to the boat. Any additional fuel used
during the tournament day must be purchased from a retail facility open to the public and pumped through a
hose with a nozzle

If you are able to be our captain or would like to please send me a private message on TFF.

Thanks

If you guys have the time there is not a better way to spend it than captaining and mentoring the high School fisherman . There are some great fishermen and women and there are some that are just learning but all ( from what I have seen have a passion for fishing. And for me there is nothing greater than mentoring and watching these young men and women figure it out.

It is a commitment but there is nothing like spending time on the water with these up and comers.

For all of you that already do give your time God bless you!! You are helping make all of these kids better people . And lord knows the world needs it!

I would take you out but I sold my boat a few weeks ago. I'm looking for a new (to me) one but doubt I'll have it for the 27th. When and where is the next one?

Added an update to the original post

Skrittelz you can still register the morning of the tournament. You will have to pay a late fee, but you can still fish. I hope you can find a boat captain.

yes but the background check will take a while.

I would think if the capt. has a chl that would suffice for a background check.

hoplong,

They have to have a sign off by a school employee or designated person that does the background checks for the team.
