BUMP

This question always comes up about certain tournaments; �does anyone have an empty back seat.� For ABA tournaments, everyone has an empty seat. Yes it is a draw tournament of non-boaters. No everyone likes this, but it benefits those new to tournament fishing and those who don�t have a boat. For the boater, that does not mean you will draw a person, it depends on how many non-boaters there are. All that is asked is for the non-boater to chip in for gas/expenses. I have been fishing ABA for over 6 years and have been fishing with the director in Wichita Falls since our days in the USAF. He is top notch and works hard to make sure everyone is treated fairly and has a good time. Honestly there are trails that pay more and I have fished them, but for the love of the sport and just having a good time, you can�t beat it. From a personal perspective we a very competitive, but no one is a jerk and everyone assist each other if needed in emergency. I live in Flower Mound, Texas and make the drive to fish in that district, when there are plenty of clubs local, that says a lot. This is a new district started Brian Gambill 214-675-2779. Give it a try and see what we are about. The ABA annual national championship is to notch. For more info visit the national websites http://www.americanbassanglers.com. If you have any questions I will be very happy to answer them.

i under stand the draw i fish the weekend series. but is there a limit for the boater and a limit for the coangler. or are you fishing as a team? if i am a member of aba already do you have to pay the $25 dollar membership fee?

it also looks like on the web site that the 11th and the 12th are two differnt tournaments is this correct?

yes, two individual one-day tournaments

posted question to a director and he said if you are a ABA member and you entrance fees are no more than $600 for the weekend series, you should be good.
