Hi do you have to have a boat to be apart of the tournament?
Hi Alan, Thanks for your question. Here’s the information from the Aurora Reservoir Tournament we can pass along.

All watercraft including fishing boats, kayaks, canoes, float tubes, pontoons, etc. must be surveyed and successfully pass inspection prior to launching. Watercraft must be clean, drained, and dry to pass inspection. Please help protect our water resources by properly cleaning and de-contaminating your boat, trailer, and other personal gear prior to arriving at the Aurora Reservoir and avoid delays the morning of the tournament by having your watercraft pre-inspected and sealed.
