2016 SCHEDULES - $90,000+ GUARANTEED in BLT division tournaments | Bud Light Trail | Bass-N-Bucks | Championships - 11/29/15 02:51 AM

Hello everyone,

We sincerely apologize for the delay in getting the 2016 schedules out. We will be updating the website and posting more information in the coming days, but we wanted to get the dates out to everyone.

Key Changes in 2016
- National Anthem and flighted starts for all tournaments (based on the order you enter)
- Trailering will still be an option for bad weather
- 4 tournaments per BLT division instead of 5
- Fewer divisions
- Fewer tournaments
- $2,000 guaranteed payout at every event, regardless of entries
- Over $90,000 guaranteed in just the BLT division tournaments alone

We will post the championship guarantees soon...

If you have any questions, please get in touch via text, email, or phone, and I will be happy to answer questions.

Thanks again to everyone for their support over the years. If you stopped fishing with us for any reason, then I hope that we get the chance to win you back. If you have never fished with us, then we extend an invitation to come out and see what we are about. It will be a great time.

I look forward to seeing everyone in 2016!

West Texas? Do we need to find something else to fish?

I am going to be calling everyone in the next few days to discuss options for West Texas. I just ran out of time to get it posted on this schedule.

No Media or BLT in west Texas. I would think if one was out here quite a few would fish it.
Next year for sure Hubbard Creek, Possum Kingdom, Brownwood, Leon are all going to easy to launch and fish. Plenty of water at the ramps.
Hope you guys change your mind and have a west Texas division.

We want to, but it will depend on how many people will commit to fishing the tournaments when I call them.

Great looking schedule. That's a lot of money to be paid out and won. I see hardly no conflicts with the other trails. I like the changes and I like the flighted take off. Should be a big rise in attendance next year. I look forward to fishing with you guys again next year.

We are still working on it. It will be a completely separate program with its own championship.

Not in the spring. I am going to contact people that have fished our Fork divisions over the past few years to see if there is enough interest in a Bass-N-Bucks Summer Series Fork division.

Man, I wish there were more tournaments in the Central Texas area, like Austin and San Antonio. Is there any way another division could be added for 2017? Maybe a Central division for lakes like LBJ, Canyon, Travis, Buchannan, Choke Canyon, Fayette County, Medina? I know it's a lot of stress and work to put all of this together and I applaud you guys for the job y'all have done, I was just curious if there's enough "want" or "need" for a Central division. I'm going to at least try to make the tournaments on Belton and Lake Waco.

bigbass94,

I am sorry that we will not be offering a Hill Country division for 2016. There are some great lakes in the area and some great people. 2017 is definitely an option, and I will be in touch with as many people from the area as I can reach during 2016 to try and put something together.

Thanks for the message, and I hope to see you at Belton and Waco.

After hearing from some of the Dallas East division anglers, we have changed the first tournament of the season from Cedar Creek to Tawakoni.

There will now be two Tawakoni tournaments and two Cedar Creek tournaments. Game on!

Colorado river lakes finally have water. Fishing will be outstanding by 2017. I could definitely see a Buchanan, LBJ, Travis series by then. Lakes are in great shape with crazy amounts of shoreline cover

Thanks for the response, Chris! Hopefully things will work out! I look forward to seeing you at Belton and Waco.

I agree with Jaret. Canyon has been fishing very well lately and if it holds enough water through 2017, it could be even better by then! LBJ always fishes well (knock on wood!), and Travis is getting a lot better. Things are looking up for us CenTex boys! thumb clap
