Looks like no west coast swing this year

Boring. No massive sack lakes.

Toledo bend if it keeps up should have some big sacks on that schedule.

they really like places you can make LONG runs.

Couple of new places and another year of them fishing water like most do. I enjoy the events that are grinds almost as much as any of them. I learn more and like the fact that there are no clear cut favorites on each alke. Like to see the AOY have to be truly versatile. I am just a fan though and where they fish has zero impact on me so I like it.

Looks like the bull shoals event is split between 2 lakes. Might prove interesting by testing angling skill and not necessarily the guys who spend the most practice time on the lake.

Looks good! I'll definitely be making the trip to the Classic and the TBend tourney.

The thing I find most interesting is they don't have a single tourney West of Texas.

I feel like they do this every other year. Maybe to try and help the guys out with expenses? I don't know. I'd love to see them go back to Clear Lake one day.

I'm curious what you call massive? There are only a handful of lakes in the country that will produce 30 pound stringers. I count at least 5 lakes on the schedule that have more than enough potential for 20+ pound bags. Grand, Toledo, St. Johns, Wheeler, Cayuga. I think the schedule is great.

Great schedule. They all fish good sitting in the fat boy chair looking at the computer and TV

Technically correct. Really nothing west of Louisiana.
