Anybody over in GA today to fish the TAA event on Lanier?

No practice, no waypoints, no scope, no 360. +\- 5k entry fee. 3 day event with a 4 hour ride around the day before it starts.

Gussy is fishing it - he said about 50 or 60 boats had entered

More proof that ffs isn’t hated as much as some claim.

The second tournament they are going to get a full day of practice. I hope the deal succeeds with its jackpot style format that anyone can enter. For it to stick around they’ll need a lot more donaters. To get that they need some title sponsorship to get that entry fee into the 1500ish level, no one is spending 5k unless they think they have a real chance of winning.

With no practice and having to clear waypoints I would think it definitely gives a strong home field advantage to the locals.

Not sure who else is participating.

Thanks for the link Mark.

I’ll take Emil Wagner to win.

I think kooks he guides there.

Drew Cook?

I know Emil does.

Some of these guys are getting on 23-26 pound sacks of spots with their scopes. But they say if you get over them with 2D like you used to be able to they spook. It will be interesting to see how it goes. I think a local will put together a 3 good days.

BPT has 80 anglers. BASS Elites have 100. If this hits 70-80 entries then it's somewhat impressive considering entry fee. Very little advertisement and promotion and still drawing that many is a win.

I agree. I’ll be interested to hear how it goes.


I’m pretty surprised Blaukat didn’t go to bang on his anti scope gong some more, but then again, I’m not.

Christoper Johnston 24.75
Jared lintner 24.73

It’s unofficially neck and neck at the TAA

If those are all spots those are huge sacks! And with no scope, 360 and only gps coordinates gathered yesterday during their ride around. Pretty impressive

47 entries per the leaderboard

Hallman didn't fish this one?, guess he is out of the touring pro game, remember when he won that FLW on Lanier. Kinda felt the whole FFS push is what pushed him to retire early, he saw what was coming.

Retired because of FFS….🤣🤣🤣
