Another Tourney in July.

Not all scales are the same...if they have not been calibrated they are not worth anything...I have seen guys with 6 pound fish with a scale that said it was over 10...

You can always get a large cooler with an aerator inside it...just need to keep the water fresh and cool...

Both the 12th and the 19th works for me, just out of town for the 26th and the following weekend after that.

Wasnt aware they had to be calibrated... How do you go about that??? Oh I guess that would be easy huh find somthing you the weight of and wiegh it...If its off just adjust???? Just bought a Rapla @ bass pro. Havent used it yet..
Unless something comes up Johnny I should be there either of the dates you use.....Ill keep in touch with Brian

HEY ALL....BEEN READING ALL THE POSTS....AM VERY INTERESTED IN THE JULY TOURNEY.....I WILL TRY TO BE AT ANY DATE SET, BUT THE LATER THE BETTER FOR ME....I NOW HAVE MY LIVE WELL WORKING , SO NO STRINGER FOR ME...LOL...
YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO ACCOMODATE EVERYONES SCHEDULE, BUT I'M SURE WE CAN ALL WORK IN A DATE .......I'LL KEEP CHECKING...
THANKS JOHNNY FOR YOUR TIME IN THE SETUP!

TEAM BASSBURNER

I ALSO JUST BOUGHT THE RAPALA MINI 50 PRO..AND HAVEN'T USED IT YET....ANY INFO ON CALIBRATION WOULD BE APPRECIATED...I'LL SEARCH FOR INFO AS WELL.

TEAM BASSBURNER

HEY GUYS...FOOD FOR THOUGHT!

I JUST PULLED OUT MY NEW RAPALA 50LB SCALE...JUST FOR THE HELL OF IT, I WEIGHED A COUPLE PACKAGES OF CHICKEN...HERE ARE THE RESULTS...
#1 PACKAGE WEIGHED 4.27lbs======RAPALA=4.2lbs

#2 PACKAGE WEIGHED 2.02lbs======RAPALA=2.2lbs

I ALSO FOUND THAT IF I TOOK THE FACE OF THE SCALE AND TIPPED IT AWAY FROM ME EVER SO SLIGHTLY, IT WOULD VARY 3 TO 5 OUNCES....JUST THOUGHT I WOULD PASS IT ON,
IF YOU KNOW YOUR OWN SCALE WELL ENOUGH, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO ADJUST THE READING AS NEEDED BASED ON THE DIFFERENCES IN THE ACTUAL "CALIBRATION".
FOR THE SAKE OF A TOURNEY, MAYBE WE COULD GET A READING FROM A KNOWN WEIGHT FOR COMPARISON, AS PAPABASS STATED, BEFORE WE DO THE WEIGH IN..ONLY FOR THE SCALE TO BE USED .

TEAM BASSBURNER

all great info guys, do you guys think the idea of taking a picture with the fish on the scale will be enough or do we gamble with coolers and aerators or how ever its spelled, lol.
