In the words of Hillary Clinton, "Follow the money"

I guess it's a good thing there are lots of hotel beds in the Austin area - for all the hardcore bass fishermen flocking there from all over the nation. If I want to fish "somewhere different" I'll drive 6 hours to reach Falcon before I would drive 3 hours to reach Travis....

LOL.. I like it....

It's not like the DFW anglers would show up if it was up here. We'd be lucky to have a dozen DFW anglers show up if we had the Bassmaster Classic here. Lets see how the Austin, San Antonio anglers support Bass.

That's deffinently the case and proven by Texoma and Roberts in the past. The way Lewisville is fishing it would have been awesome to see if out there. I would have been a spectator for that for sure.

Hope it�s well attended and supported by the local community

Wishing many competitors catch some huge bass�might take some pressure off of lakes further east

In the words of Yogi Berra, " No one goes there nowadays, it's too crowded". Prolly won't be the case at Lake Travis.

I'd be more concerned with the enourmous waves created by recreational boats on Sunday. That place gets scary

It's the FLW!





















































Just Kidding!

It's fishing pretty good. The last couple of times I've gone I've caught 50-60 bass, with 20 or so keepers in 5-6 hours. It's a lake that was down 60+ feet a couple of years ago and a TON of bushes and trees grew and then it got 60+ feet of new water. There's a ton of cover there now everywhere. There are many small fish, but they are healthy fat fish. It's going to be a lot better in terms of size in the next couple of years.

TTZ Tuesday nighters averaged 14 pounds for first place this year with a max of 24.98
TBT tournament last month that had 60 boats was won with 18.21
TTZ major tournament on travis last year was won with 21.26

I'm glad they are trying something different at least. Travis is a fun lake to fish. It can be brutal on the weekends though with party boats

The DFW folks supported the bejesus out of the E-50 when it came to Lewisville.. huge crowds every day. Just not many of us that are willing to drive to Frisco or to the third world country Chocktaw Casino is located in to watch a weigh in. I still say Bassfest at Roberts would have drawn twice as good if the weigh in and festivities were in Denton and not the middle of yuppieville. I don't know much about lake Travis, but those central/south Texas trails seem to draw a ton of boats.. will they show up to support it instead of fishing somewhere themselves is the question.

Get outta here with those positive vibes and optimism, this is the TFF.

I'll be there supporting it! Probably will rent a room or a house for the weekend

Its all about the attendance and money spent to put on this event. lbj would be kinda defeating what they are trying to accomplish having near a major city. Take a pretty big country singer and have a concert in what they call the music capital of Texas and bam the perfect setup.

So we won't plan on seeing you on Travis?
