Sawt events

[npauls]

I am just posting this to let everyone know that the SAWT events are coming up fast and filling up at a pretty good rate.

For all the information you need as well as registration forms just head over to www.sawt.ca

I can also do my best to answer any questions on this thread or through a private message.

Good luck to everyone this year with their open water adventures.

It should be another good year of fishing SAWT. It is an exciting time of year. Hopefully the weather cooperates and the fish are biting.....Good luck to everyone!

Which members of AO are fishing SAWT events this season?

I will be fishing all 4 events again this year.

I missed getting in to the Ridge but I'll be at the other 3 for sure. Like others have said, the SAWT is a great trail to fish because of how nice everybody seems to be, and I think the walleye from southern reservoirs are a challenging quarry. Good luck to everyone this year, I'm looking forward to getting back in the boat and hammering some big fish!

I'll be at 40 Mile...

Cool. I am hoping to be able to put in some time as well. The lake has been dropping over the last 10-14 days! That might change things up a little if it continues to drop leading up to the tourney! I will likely see you down there!

47 pre-entries for the Chin tourney so far, looks like there will be a good turn out of people. Hoping for good weather, and a good bite. 9 days to go! Good luck to all!!!

[npauls]

Only a few days left to get in for the first SAWT event of the season.

Entries have to be in by friday evening before the rules meeting and the tourney starts saturday morning.

[npauls]

Only 2 days left to get signed up for the first stop on the SAWT at Chin Reservoir.

It will be a good time with tons of great people.

[npauls]

Final day to get signed up for the event at chin.

Remeber also you have to be done fishing by 3pm and at the launch waiting to load the boat today.

Registration and rules meeting will be later this evening at the group camp cook shack.

Is this a for profit tournament or do proceeds/ prizes go to some kind of conservation group? Seems like a lot of pressure on public fisheries. I would think these sort of events would have been doomed along with the commercial fishing industry.

You usually need a sponsor "charity" for your event, with the sponsor receiving about 20-25% of the total with most or all of the remainder going for prize money.

For a lot of the charities which are usually local these events are their biggest fundraisers of the year, and depending on what lake they are at, many of the local businesses do very well to.

I cant find the livewell requirements anywhere. Would a 100 quart cooler with battery powered aerator qualify?

[sanjuanworm]

Great time in my first SAWT event. I've a lot to learn. Didn't come in last which is a bonus.
