Jake, I would recommend that you check with a couple of local tackle stores and pick up flyers for tournaments and ask who the good tournament directors are, and talk with them. You need very specific rules, good scales and be prepared to give lie detector tests. You will have to do a lot of promotion to get anglers to fish you.

Very few tournaments can exist today without sponsorship from businesses and with the number of tournaments available, most businesses were already tapped out before the business slow-down.

We have been publishing tournament news for over 20 years and I can tell you that putting on tournaments is not an easy task.

Good Luck,
