Hey, guys.
I'll be running a new trail next year, which will be open to man-powered watercraft (kayaks, canoes, etc.). There will be 10 tournaments, starting in April.
This is the tentative schedule, though most are already confirmed (permitted):
April 16, 7-3 - Stump Pond/Robbins Pond (Halifax/East Bridgewater)
May 7, 6-2 - Billington Sea (Plymouth)
May 28, 6-2 - Oldham Pond (Pembroke)
June 11, 6-2 - Ponkapoag Pond (Canton)
June 25, 6-2 - Snipatuit Pond (Rochester) *
July 9, 6-2 - Johns Pond (Mashpee) *
July 23, 6-2 - Neponset Reservoir (Foxboro)
August 27, 6-2 - Dudley Pond (Wayland)
September 17, 7-3 - Lake Nippenicket (Bridgewater)
October 8, 7-3 - Norton Reservoir (Norton) *
* Roadrunner events
Anyway, it's winter so I won't post much about it just yet, but there is a Facebook page that just went live...
https://www.facebook.com/groups/makayakbassin
If you're interested, join the group. =)
I'll also be running/overseeing another series, called the Knockout Series. This one is pretty much a copy of Rich LeBlanc's Grudge Match series, only for kayaks and such. Should be a fun one!
Anyway, that Facebook page can be found here:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/makayakbassinkoseries
Again, if interested, join the group. If you don't have Facebook and are interested in either, just let me know and I'll send you whatever info you need. =)
And if you know anyone who might be interested, please share this with them. Thanks!

You'll need a Hawg Trough or equivalent. Basically a concave measuring board. Here are some links:
There are many different brands and versions of measuring boards. The industry standard board is concave (i.e. not flat), which if anything is the sensible standard, as the curve of the board will assist in keeping the fish in place. Here are a few links if you're looking to purchase one.
FISHING ONLINE
http://www.fishingonline.com/hawg-trough-measuring-board-pre-lined-floating
Probably the best bargain out there if you don’t want to do any modifications yourself. This board is pre-lined and it floats.
HOOK1
http://www.kayakfishinggear.com/products/hook-1-hawg-trough-measuring-board
Can be upgraded to float, will need to have lines darkened. Order through me and get a 10% discount.
CABELAS
http://www.cabelas.com/product/hawg-trough-measuring-board/738039.uts
Does not float, will need to have lines darkened.
BASS PRO SHOPS
http://www.basspro.com/Frabill-Bump-Board/product/1308090616361
Floats and is collapsible, but will need to have lines darkened.
You'll also need a digital camera. As of right now we'll be using TourneyX to score the tournaments, so a cell phone with Internet access would work best. That way everyone gets live updates throughout the day. It'll add an interesting dynamic to the tournaments, I think.
Either way, cell phone or digital camera will work. I'll always bring a tablet or something so I can upload photos from SD cards and whatnot.
As for the roadrunner events, those basically mean anglers can launch from more than one area. Like at Snipatuit, I'll hold registrations at the Long/Black Pond ramp, but if people want to register then shoot up to the state ramp and launch from there, they can do that.
