To elaborate on D50s question. I was asked my opinion and personally had no problem with someone getting bait from a boat, but being a tournament and not wanting anyone to feel that they were at a disadvantage, saying no makes the most sense.
Imagine it is one of those days where bait is no where to be found, the guy spending the morning tossing his sabiki and not making one bait, while you hook up fish after fish on your tank of sardines is definitely gonna feel slighted.
I hope everyone has a contender at the scale, that would be cool!
