I dont understand something here and excuse me if this sounds out of line, but why dont we have blow days in the central. We are fishing two tourneys on big water. I know alot of guys that would love to have sunday as a poss travel day if the weather is ok.

It is driven by Lake Erie. It is such a different lake and blow days are a common necessity for there.

I know that I can speak for a few Michigan anglers that this schedule looks great.

I understand how weather is a factor in how you decide to schedule the tournaments, however how is it possible for you to have Friday, Saturday tournaments in the East but not in the Central. Is weather not also a factor in scheduling there? I know many teams, like my own, that would prefer to have Sunday off for travel, or for a blow day. The Saturday-Sunday format forces teams to take an extra day of work off for travel time. I feel that is this something that should be discussed with the advisory panel in the future and taken into consideration.

I did discuss it with the AAP.

We can't have a Fri/Sat/Sun tournament at Spring Valley. It is simply not an option. With the elevator the only option we have is Sat/Sun. And because of the size of the Central compared to the size of the East, we needs LOTS of volunteers for a Central division tournament. And you can get those on a Saturday Sunday but not on a Friday.

So until the East Division is so big that we can't inspect boats with just our own staff, this is an option for them that it isn't for the Central.

Kristine,
The East locations and dates look excellent for next season. The events will be a 10+ hour drive for me from Perth Ontario, but it will be worth every minute. John and I are looking forward to fishing the whole Eastern Division again next season. We had a great time this season - see you all on the water next April.

Kristine,

As sheldon put we both can't wait for next years circuit. Had a blast this year and am really looking forward to next year. Thumbs up for a well run Tournament Series.

What an awesome schedule...It looks like it'll be hard not to fish all six events next year.
