Its Tourney Time!

See you all this weekend at Buckboard. Kent and I will be around the marina on Friday in the late afternoon/evening to set up. I hope that we can get paperwork done for most everyone on Friday. I'm staying at the RV campground if you can't find me at the marina...

Sunrise is 5:44 a.m. so plan on 5:00 a.m. for our quick pre-tournament meeting. Please just call or email me if you have any questions. A quick look at the point standings for the year so far:

Flaming Gorge approaches...

Hey all. As the Flaming Gorge weekend approaches, I wanted to ask for some input. I have talked with American Bass about a few options that might improve participation...

1) I wanted to float the idea of reducing the number of tournaments necessary to allow classic qualification out of the rocky mountain region. This would allow folks to fish the final two weekends and still go to the classic. 2) I'd like to float the idea of possibly having, as an alternative, a seventh tournament. I'll bring both of these options up at the Flaming Gorge weigh-in.

Be aware both that you must fish at least five (5) of the region tourneys to have a shot at angler of the year from our region and that only the top five finishes count toward angler of the year for our region. Ask me if you need this clarified further...

I'm going to email this to those of you I have email for. For anyone trying to reach me, my phone has been down for the last week or so...
