If you’re a Michiana tournament angler and forward-facing sonar is not your thing, The Angler Alliance Fishing Club (AAFC) may provide you a chance to fish “old school” against others.
The AAFC is planning a tournament circuit in which scoping won’t be permitted. It includes 12 Saturday tournaments on Michigan waters plus a Classic.
Tournament director is Cody Huston from Dowagiac, Mich. He said he’s considering ways for anglers to keep the technology on the boat yet not use it during competition.
Initially, the field will be limited to 10 boats with the possibility of adding a few more. There will be a $70 membership fee (per team) that goes to the classic pot. Entry fee is $45, with $5 going toward big bass. With 10 boats in a tournament, the circuit will pay three places with third getting its entry fee back.
