I hate the schedule but I love the circuit, count me in. Seriously though 2 on Banks I hate that lake and the only other place I hate worse is Boardman! Should be a great time!

The past two tournies on Boardman half the field caught better than 10lbs. The tourny on Boardman two years ago was the first time I've ever seen that pool, and we must have caught 40 fish once we figured it out. Just goes to show how stupid that fishery is. I personally can't wait for this tourny!

I guess I'll be the one to say it! We have two circuits in this state, why can't they come up with a schedule that doesn't conflict with each other. It doesn't help the circuit or the fisherman when tournament org's conflict with each other.

Gary & Larry get together and help the fisherman, work out the conflict and move forward for 2011.

Thx BILL

You can't catch any fish on that body of water if the wind is blowing! That is the reason I hate that body of water. Don't get me wrong I like the fishing; the body of water is what I don't like. Its the same way with Banks I like the fishing i just don't prefer the fishing methods I have to use in order to catch the fish.

Im coo with the schedule minus Boardman & the river , my only beef with those bodies of water is that i lack experience on the river ..lol
As for the 2 events on banks , That ROCKS :-) i cant get enough of that lake i look forward to fishing the whole circuit for the first time , it should be a great learning experience overall ..

The schedules are interesting, to say the least. Either way, the conflict with NWB and ABA is kind of ridiculous. I don't understand how, with all of the weekends, two of the biggest circuits in the state are fighting for a particular weekend. Seems weird. Now I (and others) basically have to choose which one we want to fish...Unless this changes.

Sure, there are ways around it. You could go and fish a tourney on the westside for ABA, or only fish 4 NWB events, or only fish the 2nd day Potholes right after Boardman...But realistically, I'm not good enough, and a lot of others aren't either, to be able to just jump in a tournament and do well without pre-fishing. And I'm not going to divide my time pre-fishing when I'm fishing against guys like Echternkamp, Hobbs, Hall, Lippincott...It's not worth it.

two of the biggest circuts? one is big the other isn't, shouldn't the smaller one move its dates?

It would be the smart thing to do wouldn't you think? I think for most of us we will fish NWB over ABA, nothing against ABA at all, because I do enjoy fishing these events, I just go where the money is and right now NWB has it hands down. If it doesnt get worked out you can expect maybe 10 boats per ABA event on the conflicting dates.

I would like to say that it always takes two to resolve any conflict! Gary is a stand up guy and these two directors worked this out to help ALL of us. Thanks Gary & Larry!
