2012 Tournament Information
2012 MAFF Tournament Welcome

Ok the 2012 season is here boys!

I can't wait to meet some new faces and see some old ones.

We have a few new places on the list, hopefully they will produce.
We will have the permits for 6:00 a.m to sign up get ready to launch. We have an official start time of 7:00, but if everyone's there early we will start as usual. Weigh in will be at 2:00p.m

Same as before $25 per man, payouts based on a 15 team tournament; if we exceed 15 teams (which we will) we will add the dollars to the first place prize making it even more appealing.

$350 for 1st place
$200 for 2nd place
$100 for 3rd place
$50 for lunker
The last $50 is for last place prizes

The only change will be this year we have different teams hosting the tourneys.
Teams hosting will have to be there early to check people in and weigh in at the end.
Any questions at all about hosting this season or in the future, please don't hesitate to call me 781-856-0636, I mean it anything at all, I'm here to help.


We will all be on the same page as far as procedure for running a tourney, that way there won't be any discrepancies in the way we do them. Times, payouts, live well checks, etc. etc. etc.

Lets sign up as early as we can for these if you know you can't make one please let us know ASAP as there are plenty of people to sign up.
Usually the afternoon after a tournament, we post pics and results and start a new thread in the forum for the next tournament, and they fill up within a day or so.

I again thank everyone for your support and friendships, we really do have a great group of people here, and I enjoy these very much.

FISH ON!

  • Spread the Word - Throughout the site, we have added icons to make it easy to share your trips, locations, and posts with your friends in other social networks. These links should really help promote the site, so take the extra few seconds to help spread the word!

December 20, 2010
  • Bass Pro Shops - Just in time for the holidays, we have teamed up with Bass Pro Shops to add a new Find Gear section to the site. Now you can search for and purchase gear at discounted prices from Bass Pro Shops, while at the same time supporting MA Fish Finder. We have also developed the ability to add items to your "Tackle Box", so you can keep track of and share your gear with fellow anglers.

September 22, 2010
  • Layar Mobile App - We have just learned that our fishing locations and hotspots have been approved and published to the new Layar application available on the IPhone and Android.
