I never have been a big tournament fisherman. Only fished our company tournament for a few years now..I really do enjoy it but it is truly just for the fun and commradery that I do it and the fact that after the tourney I can get some help on where to catch some fish. As most of us know, planning a tournament schedule and hoping the fishing is good at that time is as hard as some of our heads..Who would've ever thought that February at Sardis could've easily been a 17.5lb+ sack...I hope the FJ's continue(and continue in good fun and helping one another) and North South is not a good idea IMO.. Good Luck DonDon on lake selection I know its a pain. 'Holic I along with a few others understand your BEEF bout Barnett.. Same could be said by several us about 'Butla.. Grenada is 2.5hrs from my house so who knows how far Barnett is...(100% Participation) Please dont go to this..So many things can come up last minute or well in advance.. I agree with having to fish a set number but not all..My $.04
