Tournament Checklist

Things appear to be a little slow on WC except for talk of new tournaments. I thought it would be fun if we collectively put together a tournament check-off list that can be used when packing for tournaments or weeklong trips. Those who have Word can request a nice formatted version of our list when we’re done at dskurulsky@yahoo.com

I’ll start it off:

Landing Nets
Fishing maps
Anchors
Drift socks
Extension cords
Extra Fishing line
Tools
Circuit tester
Grease Gun for Hubs
Minnow bucket(s)
Leech bag
Cooler(s)
Freezer packs
Important phone numbers
Address/phone numbers of bait shops
Mooring Cover
Motor Oil
Jumper Cables
Drinking Water
Electronics
Rods
Reels
Crankbaits
Crawler Harnesses
Live bait rigs
Live bait components
Jigs
Rain Gear
Suntan Lotion
Thermos
Boots
Gloves
Jacket
Sunglasses
Hats
Sponsor Shirts
Extra Cash
Snacks
Scale
Measuring board
Pliers
Hook sharpener
No-scent soap

Here in South Dakota it's nice to have a shovel March thru May, then breakout the bug spray......

No matter how long the list you still find yourself in a store buying something you don't have with, don't have at all or just plain don't have. THE best way is don't unpack the boat or truck and just keep adding.

I can't beleive you forgot Life jackets. About 2 years ago I was fishing a tourney on Erie. My partner was already up there with his boat, so we fished out of his. I usually bring my sospenders, but for got them. All he had for me was an old dirty may west type. Great big orange thing. It would have worked in an emergency, but not the most comfortable thing to wear all day.

This is a given...
Boat...... Don't laugh... it happened.... dont ask.

[Chemical guy]

I keep alot of those disposable hand warmers for cold weather fishing. they work great.
Waders or hip boots for the quick loading and unloading of the boat.

Hi Dennis,
How about that 'minor league' circuit? Any stops of interest to you? I was thinking about Bago in July, if it is indeed in July. Let me know.
Thanks,
Scaleman
P.S. Do you know of anyone who has John Gillespie`s phone or fax number? I have been trying to get confirmation of his receipt of my 13# walleye sent in over amonth ago for his show.

Jeff,
You might try looking on his web site-www.watersandwoods.com. I'm not sure if there is a phone number but maybe you can find out where to send an e-mail.
Happy Holidays,
GMC Jon

Hi John,
I have been down that dead-end web-site. They gave me what was supposed to be his e- mail, another dead end!!!. I spoke with some gal who was attempting to get him my message, that was last Monday. Thanks anyway, Merry Christmas to You and Jane.
Scaleman.
P.S. send me your e-mail

Dennis..after I've managed to get everything into the boat/truck I leave it alone as much as possible. When I come home I make a list of what I take out of the rig, makes a much shorter repacking list for next trip out.

Don't forget that fishing license.

[perchjerker]

Good list.

I would add:
Flare Kit and whistle
duct tape (you never know)
extra drain plug
extra fuses
flashlight
extra set of trailer wheel bearings
first aid kit

[Cnags]

Dennis,I think that you forgot the most important item,your life jacket!!!!

[Chad]

I think the question should be what should one pack in their emergency repair kit.

Spare electrical parts (splice, wire, those little ends,etc..)
Electrical tape
Cordless drill
Stainless screws

Rod tip replacement
Reel lube/grease

[Eyez]

Don't forget the advil, for that headache I always seem to have the morning after the rules meeting.
