FYI- Just got off the phone with FLW, series announcement should be coming out later today.

Happy to hear that!

any word???

I wish they would hurry up!

no kidding!

Makes you wonder what's going on huh? Two weeks ago you could call about the schedule and the answer was any day now. Monday they said this week, then yesterday, now it's Friday and no word.

So are we gonna see drastic changes? That pretty much has to be the answer doesn't it. If not, what took so long? I have a feeling the looks of FLW for 2010 won't resemble anything we've seen before. I got spoiled by them always saying if you think this year was something wait until you see what we have for you next year!

This time next year may not be so good. Hoping for the best here though.

Yes, it really makes me wonder what's going on. I wouldn't be surprised to see some drastic changes this year, but who knows.

I just wish they would go ahead and announce their plans so people can make decisions on which series they'd like to fish...

we'll see what happens- it should be interesting!

Stren cut the payout and contingencies at this year championship which happens in 2 weeks from what they said it would be by 23% due to the 75% fill rate for tournaments. I dont know if the 75% is any different than previous years. The Texas Division is by far their strongest division, so there should not be any changes here, except maybe the payout and contingencies.

January... Falcon
February.... Sam Rayburn
April.... Toldeo Bend
June.... Texoma

That was the schedule unless something drastic came up and changed it.

Not fond of the Rayburn time but the others I can't wait, maybe these tournament will realize that Toledo is a tough lake but if they go that time of the year its gonna produce some good weights. Don't get me wrong Rayburn will be really good weather just scares me that time of year, SSHHHH i want to see em. Falcon will be awesome, never been to texoma that time of year but I like texoma so it should be fun. In all I like the schedule.

I will be a great schedule, Falcon will show off a little, and with some good weather Rayburn could be great

I think that Toledo and Texoma may have been reversed. The dates I had were as follows, but who knows what is actually going on. I don't know why they are waiting so long. Before you know it, the open registration day will be here and we won't know what we are registering for!!!

Jan 7-9 Falcon
Feb 4-6 Rayburn
Apr 22-24 Texoma
June 17-19 Toledo

Those were the dates i had heard before, i like the other dates better.

I was really hoping 2 of those lakes for once would not be on the schedule.

That's earlier than we've been to Rayburn for the Stren in a while isn't it? Could be interesting though, sometimes those big girls eat good that time of year depending on the weather.

Toledo in June....look for George Jeane to do well on his brushpiles.

Falcon will be great. Fishing will be slow, but someone will dial in and bring in a 28-35 lb stringer for a day.

Yeah, when they gave me the schedule, it was very tentative on the order of the lakes. They didn't have contracts lined up and signed. But, I was told the dates were set in stone, just not the order of the lakes.
