They are listening to us. very good to know each trail is a business and they are in business to make money, and should, but when a business stops talking to their customers they lose business and stop making money.

Its called to many trails! +1... In the days of the Redman, there were very few options of tournaments to fish. I bet there are currently many more fisherman in tournaments each weekend than there were back in the Redman days..

Its a combination of economy and two many trails, along with inflation. Fuel cost boat prices and entries . But I know for me fuel is a manger expense. If your going to pre fish and your driving even just 100 miles one way. Its a full tank. Before food hotel . So most tourneys at working mans level are going to be jackpot big time. The few that seem to be able to spend all there time on water on the preferred water are profitable. And I understand it. I would do same thing if I could.

Yes Sir too many trails is a major problem but I was hoping to get some input as to what a trail needs to do to increase numbers in the field ?

Well platinum has a $500 side pot which if you are going to pay $1000 im sure you will put in another $500. It increases your payout by a lot.
As far as most of the guys being pros, it has no more "pros" than some bassnbucks or a TTT tournament. Actually I don't recognize over half the teams in the field.

Did all the teams pay in full for all 4 tournies ? How much money was put up by a team to say they were in all 4 tournies, just curious. Well platinum has a $500 side pot which if you are going to pay $1000 im sure you will put in another $500. It increases your payout by a lot.

When FLW had the TTT it had an awesome draw. It would be cool to see it come back. I understand they would have to increase entry fee but that would be ok.
Get rid of the Texas Everstarts, and have one of the central division in Texas on Rayburn.
