As you may know I am Mark Weare and I captain TVT. My partner in almost all of my fishing excursions is  my father, Millage Weare, we spend a lot of our spring, summer and fall spare time competing in smallmouth tournaments here in Atlantic Canada. 

 My brother Leigh Weare joined TVT to fish the some of the other events in place of Millage when dad is unable to attend.

Our cumulative statistics then are as follows*: Tracked from 1998 through to 2008

A little about the equipment we use to successfully compete.

My boat is a Triton TR20 and new for 2009 we will be running an ETEC 225HO for the power. Other features of the boat above standard Triton factory options are Minn Kota Maxxum Pro 80/US trolling motor, NMEA 2000 network with dual livewell temp sensors, surface temp, fuel flow, LMF400 data gauge, three Lowrance 520c GPS / Sonar units and recessed TM foot pedal.

Please refer to our sponsors and equipment page to read more on the equipment we use and the sponsors who make it all happen for us.
