Recreational boat traffic might present a challenge to the pros.

I like the fact they moved it within striking distance of two major Texas cities. Having it in Lufkin last year seemed to be a predicted recipe for failure. I don't think the lack of support surprised anyone.

Guys don't forget, this isn't all about the weight of fish brought in. It's about the exposure of the sport and the anglers. Sponsors like crowds. Big cities usually equal big crowds.

So why does every stop on the BASS or FLW tour have to be a "great" fish catching lake? I don't get it? If all of the competitors are fishing the same water, I just don't see the problem. I don't have a dog in this fight, hell I have fished in central Texas one time. Someone is gonna catch em, they always do. TPWD is located out there, plenty of facilities (and not a rodeo arena!!), beautiful scenery, what's not to like, other than that little school just west of I35. jab jab

How do you apply to be a Marshall for this event?

Doesn�t BASS know to consult with the guys of the TTF before setting their tournament schedules.

I honestly think there are those on here who think that!!
