—————————————–
Hello Anglers-
Tomorrow starts the off- limits period- I have detailed what that looks like below as we as copied the info gathering section from the 2023 Rules. The updated guide verbiage is only listed once up top.
Payment deadline is by the 20th and you will not show up on the official roster until you are paid.
Please stay in Dayton/ Rhea County to help support the community that invested in us. We have a discount at PB Lodge. They have some rooms with garages! Call them and say you are with Hobie BOS to claim your nights. They are not being held.
Check out Bluewater Lodge and Rv, Lake Lodge, and area hotels. Our HQ will be in the Dayton area.
Thank you all for the quick and easy communication we only had 3 anglers that couldn’t claim their spot and we are excited to welcome Nick Huddelston, Hernan Cortez and Brandon Brylinsky into this exclusive group!
Off- Limits and Practice Period notes and expectations-
Starting October 9th–
Anglers can no longer access the water way in any capacity. Fishing from any type of boat, dock or the bank is completely off-limits. Navigating the water from any boat or vessel is off limits. Only looking at ramps, and vehicle scouting on land is allowed during this time.
Guides are no longer allowed to be utilized or communicated with in any capacity in an attempt to gain information. Anglers are not allowed to seek or receive private information from a professional, active, or perceived guide on the lake. Information from a guide cannot come indirectly. Using a friend, family member, pro-staff manager, etc. to gain private information from a guide is not allowed. Public websites/ postings from guides are available to all.
Anglers are allowed to receive, solicit, and seek information during Off-Limits through the end of the practice period. Once the practice period ends, anglers are no longer allowed to solicit information from anyone outside of the tournament field.
Practice Period-
Anglers are allowed to access the water as early as 6am on Saturday Nov 4th.
You may only utilize a kayak to practice. Motors on kayaks are legal during the practice period only. We do not have a single motor rule for practice. We do expect that your kayak is legally registered and legal to have a motor on it if you are using it to practice. You can bring and use more than 1 kayak for practice, as needed.
Practice is officially over at 4pm on Tuesday November 7th. Anglers must be off the water at 4pm, no exceptions.
