Anglers who want to be a Marshal in a 2012 Bassmaster Elite Series event can sign on as early as Oct. 10.
Oct. 10 at 9 a.m. EST will mark the start of priority registration at Bassmaster.com for B.A.S.S. Federation Nation and B.A.S.S. Life members.
Starting Oct. 17 at 9 a.m. EST, Marshal registration on Bassmaster.com will be available to all B.A.S.S. members.
A Marshal in the Elite Series rides along in a competitor's boat to serve as that angler's official observer for the day. It's the Marshal's job to ensure all rules are adhered to. On the eve of the event, Marshals are randomly assigned to Elite Series anglers - to one pro for the first day, then to another for the second day of competition.
The Marshal experience is a front-row seat to watch a tournament. As observers, they not only meet pros and spend a day on the water with them, they can pick up techniques and tackle tips just by watching and asking questions (Marshals do not fish).
The cost of Marshal participation is still $100 per tournament. Details are available at the registration page on Bassmaster.com.
