Id like to fish the indiana slab masters this year and just need some questions answered. I got the dates. My question is how do i sighn up, what are the entree fees, rules and regulations would be a plus also. Ive never fished a tourney and would like to. Thanks ahead of time..............Happy Hooken............
We have a website Home - Indiana Slab Masters on there we have all the rules and fee's.
The membership fee is $25 per year and your welcome to fish any or all of the events.
It cost $40 per boat per tournament and you can sign up and join the club the morning of any tournament.
After you have signed up and livewell checked your free to launch anywhere you want however you can not put a line in the water until 7am and you must have all lines out by 3pm and be in the weigh in line by 4pm.
Weigh your 7 best and they must be at least 9" long and alive. Do not bring 8 fish to the weigh in or you will be disqualified so count them twice.
I hope this helps?
We all have alot of fun so I hope to see you come join in the fun with us.
Slab Slayen... Tom is right "bring 8 fish to the weigh in or you will be disqualified so count them twice"
everyone in Indiana has to count them twice! its a Hoosier thing...
Wait a minute....we've only had one team bring 8 fish to the scales since the start of the club. I believe it was a team plum full of buckeyes.Quote:

Man! the new guy sounds like he is planning on winning...
I dont plan on winning just hope to. Ive put allot into crappie fishen and Im confident.............
Payout is determined by number of teams participating. Average tournament will produce a couple hundred to the winners and runner-up. Big fish payout is usually as good as 3rd or 4th place.
It's fun.
80% payback on the $35 and 100% payback on the $5 per boat for big fish.
sounds good... welcome... come and fish with ISM its a good time with good guys...Quote:

Slab Slayen, I'm just an outside observer, but I'd say just give your money straight to Tom and Glen, and save yourself all the grief... and just enjoy meeting the guys there and fishing with no pressure. Those 2 guys are going to win your money anyway.

Without confidence you have little to build on! Welcome to the club!Quote:

HHD
I understand... which is why you should join the club and take these guys down! Tom and Glenn had a great year... as did Charlie and Paul Hildreth the year before. There are a ton of teams this year that can win, making the feat of having a dominate year even more difficult. As for me, I want to be competitive in the ISM don't get me wrong, but another goal is to extremely competitive on a national level, which makes it difficult to put up a year like Tom and Glenn had, and I doubt even if you had only one circuit to compete in you can have that kind of year. I'll be fishing in CrappieUSA, CrappieMasters, and the ISM so don't expect me to go off like they did... so you better join and show us how it's done!! I for one would love to have you aboard!!Quote:

Besides, I don't want to just hand my money over to Glen and Tom either...I'd rather spend it on fishing equipment. I'm also thinking Tom will be especially cruel this yr because he has a new boat to pay for...lol. GLTA.

Well HHD I'm glad you think so highly of Glenn and myself and our ability to win.... However I don't feel the same way because the fisherman we have in our club are great fisherman and to win or even place in the top five isn't easy...Quote:

That doesn't mean we aren't going to give 100% every time.
Everyone shows up to have fun but most of all everyone plays to win.
But I do like the thought of paying for the new my new ride with tournament winnings....Lol!
I guess we will just have to see how we do this year. i only plan on fishen 2 tourneys but will fish more if we place good.
Don't let them guy's get in your head... By all means come out and fish with us. Don't worry about where you place it's all about learning new lakes and new techniques as well as making new friends.Quote:

Fish four and qualify for the classic. Good times at the dinner we put on for everyone to enjoy the night before the classic starts.
If no one else can win tournaments i guess i know what ism is...............social(ISM)
crappiemaster that is what i hope to do by fishing this tourney. my goal is to be a better crappie fisherman. Ive been in a crappie boat for over 20 years and im only 29. I hope to fish the classic but how we do and our schedules may keep us from it this year. I guess we will just see what happens. Im in no way turned off by a lot of awsome compatetion, thats what im doing it for. My fishen buddy and i have accomplished some incredible things over the years and its time to see where we stand. Im looking foreward to fishing with all of you..................
