Forward Facing "Live" Sonar

As many of you know, we have been researching the Forward Facing Sonar - Live Sonar and other like technology’s use during PMTT tournaments going forward. We not only requested feedback from the PMTT Trail Team members to give their opinions and views but gathered data and information, from across the fishing industry and beyond. We explored other tournaments, tournament circuits, other species and consulted with people throughout the fishing industry.


Everyone at the PMTT is always striving for what’s best for the PMTT, its anglers and the resource, even if the decisions made are not the popular one or the favored opinion and methods. After we compiled all of this information, we then viewed it from several different angles. It was weighed out as to the positives and negatives, its impact either way on the tournaments and playing devil’s advocate with the scenarios, cause and effects with each of these and how they could play out. 


While we were equally concerned with what the PMTT anglers wanted, this was also weighed out heavily as to if we are hearing from the vocal minority or the masses with these thoughts and opinions. Through this, we have concluded that going forward, the Forward Facing Sonar - Live Sonar and all other like technology, will not be allowed for use during PMTT tournaments. These will be banned from two hours before the start of the first day of the tournament, until the end of the last day of the tournament. 


This decision is for the 2023 PMTT season and not a permanent fixture in the PMTT as it will be re-evaluated throughout each season. 


We hope everyone is well and we look forward to seeing everyone on the water!.


Sincerely,


Tim Widlacki  

Tournament Director

Major News Announcement!


Recon Boats is Official Boat Sponsor of the PMTT  

New PMTT - Recon Boats World Championship & Payout.  


The PMTT and Recon Boats have officially teamed up for the 2022 season. We are extremely excited to be working together with such an incredible boat company as all Recon boats are manufactured in Iola, Wisconsin using American workers and American products. The 2022 PMTT Recon Boats World Championship will have a 1st place prize package of a new Recon 20’ - 2085T, with a tandem trailer, radio, keel guard and cover, powered by a 150hp Mercury Marine Outboard with power steering and rigging included valued at over $50,000! The 2085T is a new model for Recon boats in 2022 and should be a great fit for an already great lineup. In talking with John Johnson, founder and owner of Recon boats, we expressed some of our concerns and he gave us his personal guarantee that the winners of the Recon Boats World Championship will get their rig without delay and in a timely fashion. Also, the winners would be allowed to upgrade or choose a different model if they so choose. 


It is going to be an incredible year for the PMTT and we can’t wait to see everyone on the trail.
