• The Singleman is one of the oldest tournament trails in Suffolk and is still running! This has been the starting ground for all the Suffolk clubs and current trails. Some of the best known local anglers fish this circuit. Come out and join the fun, the fishing. The Singleman is now under new management, Jerry Patterson has taken over the reins from Rich Huryn who has been running it for years very successfully. Jerry has affiliated the Singleman with Bass-Jon’s, so there will be regular tourney results and pictures posted on the” Latest Buzz”. Plus they’ll be included in the Boot’Legg Peninsula Rankings. Since the Singleman is a year round circuit,  points will only be calculated from March - Nov. The points awarded will be compensatory with the numbers of boats present and as it is done for all clubs / trails.

Bob's holds a open tournament every Sunday starting at safe light (blastoff has been around 0540 recently). It is a single or double tourney and it is a five fish (14") limit. Most people run to Carolina where the minimum is 14". The tournament ends at 1530. Cost is $35 per boat ? Breakdown: $5 for launch, $5 for big fish and $25 for the pot. Payback is one place for every five boats up to 20. Lunker pot is a 100% payback and the pot is a 90% payback.

There is also an open evening tournament each Wednesday.  This one starts at 1700 and ends at 2030. Again, five fish limit for singles or doubles. Cost is $20 per boat. Breakdown: Payback is 100% for both the pot ($10) and lunker ($5) with the other five bucks going for the launch.

• Participants for this tournament will consist of members from Bass-Jons, Rule 9 and Howmet bass clubs. 
• The tournament will last from sunrise until 1400 (2:00 PM) or a mutually agreed upon time, to accommodate for severe weather and/or picnic arrangements.
• The tournament will be hosted by each club on a rotational basis.  The host club will determine the body of water that will be fished that year and a mutually agreed upon date to fish.  The club will pick from a list of bodies of water that, as a group, all clubs have agreed to.  If Cohoon-Meade is drawn, entrants have the option of fishing either lake.
• There will be no limit to amount of boats each club can field in the tournament.  There is a maximum of two (2) anglers per boat, but clubs may fish one (1) angler per boat if desired.  The club that fields the least amount of boats will determine the number of boats that will count towards the club versus club total weight.  For example, let’s say Bass-Jon’s has 14 boats, Rule 9 has 11 boats and Howmet has 8 boats.  Bass-Jon's and Rule 9 can only use its Top 8 weights for the competition.  Each club must field at least eight (8) boats to claim the title of BASSN’9 Season Champ.  However, all participants are eligible for Lunker and side pot prizes.
• The cost of the tournament is five ($5) per person.  The pot will be a 100% payback awarded to the angler who weighs the heaviest bass that day.  There will be a side pot of $10 per boat (optional) and will be paid out to the higher finisher of those who paid to participate in the side pot.
• There will be a five (5) fish limit per boat.  There is NO MINIMUM size limit.  All fish must be kept in an aerated live well.  All live fish are to be released in the lake they were caught in.
• There will be a four (4) ounce penalty per dead fish.  This penalty will be deducted from the total weight.  A dead fish is defined as one that cannot right itself and swim away upon release.  This deduction also applies to the big fish.
• Club tournament directors will inspect opposing club’s live wells prior to blast off.  If a contestant from any club is late, he must find an angler from an opposing club to inspect his/her live well prior to fishing.
