Just wonderin' about a "back to basics" Slabfest with the guidelines of one rod/up to 2 lures/per angler with presentation of choice. With Florida's "relaxed" fishing regs, I think this would be a simple way for the non "beefed-up" members or wanna be members to enjoy a slabfest with an even playing field.

I thing you know I would like it, but it may put a crimp on most people as they only multiple rod fish. I like the competition against the multiple rod fisherman as most of the time only jig fish with one rod at the slabfests. Would make for an interesting slabfest though...............:twocents
It seems to me that about 90% of the new people get on here to learn about beefing up.:twocentsQuote:

If you want a back to basics tourney, I think 8 rods per boat...Most folks fish with more than 8, I can fish up to 16 in my boat.... And at even 8 rods, that's a good starting place for a beginner to learn to fish....Just my :twocentsQuote:

Interesting thought up2specks. Not sure I would call it 'back to basics' as it takes a little bit of coaxing fish out of the wood, brush and pads. It's a nice workout too. :)
FIRST-- I'll bet you any amount of money that everyone here single pole fished for crappie before ever fishing with multiple poles. I like to do dock shooting. That is a single pole method. Now tell me, which is more exciting, having three or more rods go down at one time or fishing single rod and cathing single fish at a time.Quote:

Just my :twocents
I cant catch anything with 10 poles out--------dont think i want to reduce!
Come on now CG, your just having a bad year so far, things can turn around on the next trip out. I am having my slowest year on the river so far. But I know this can turn around on my next trip. For now I'm changing up and trying some of the lakes, always have trouble with them, so far it's a little slow but I'm learning (trolling) caught a few nice ones yesterday in the wind and rain so I'll be back to give them another shot when the wind not so bad.............
Can you mount 20 rods on that toon???? Can't hurt, keep pullin sooner or later you'll find em.:fish
I can only reel in one at a time!
I started out fishin with only two rods out on lake Harney, using minnows/corks and drifting .......
Had fun then ...........
Dearly love to fish 2 poles one w/minnow in the open water and one w/jig in pads or grass, but for most slabfests it's 10 to 12 poles in deeper water.--shu
I seen (and Chucker seen em too) my old buddy "Two Jiggin John", using one jig pole, get his limit within an hour,
walkin the bank ! ! !
You guys...... I suggested a 1 rod, no electronics tourney and basically didn't get a response. How did we do it years back? Good luck with this. I think it's a great idea.
Actually Lil pros for 24 lol

Pretty simple if thats what ya wanna do. Pick a location, secure a pavillion, set the itenarary and post it up. You schedule it, you lay the guidelines!Quote:
