I like it. No major spotted bass only fisheries. Looking forward to them at Rayburn in January. Will be interesting to watch.

No co-anglers on the Tour either, replaced with a marshal program

I’ve heard Toho is fishing amazing lately, hope it stays that way for the big boys.

Could be some big weights at these stops. Looks more like a bass schedule

It's almost as if BASS and FLW accidentally switched their schedules.

So happy they dropped the Co's. Sucks for the guys that fished it, but as a fan it's best. The tournament went from basically 400 anglers to 200. Weigh In's will be easier to watch, the lakes will fish better, and guys will be more consistent from day to day as they don't have a co catching bass off their spots. Also the Costa's won't have any trouble getting Co's now.

Him and Russell will be TOUGH on that lake. Hope to see them both at the top. With that schedule they both have a shot at multiple events

Do you have to qualify James? (I'm ignorant of the process)

I agree, I don't see any negative to this other than the handful of guys that fish the whole tour as a CO. You will probably see a lot less FLW guys moving to the Elites now.

Marshall program is better than BASS because you at least have a chance at winning $2500/event and a boat at the end of the season.

Entries for Costa will increase on both ends of the boat from guys not able to qualify for the tour now. Not to mention this schedule is great!

Yes & no, qualifiers get first dibs. Federation & ranger owners get what’s left. After next year it will be strictly qualification only. I left in good terms after making back to back Forrest Wood Cups. Hopefully I can come up
with some sponsorship & make it happen.

They will still use priority entry next year but if you didn't fish this year it will be tough to qualify for 2020 since beginning then they are doing a 2 year rolling average and you have average a top 100 points finish through 2018-2019 to be guaranteed a spot for 2020.

I'm sure Honeycutt hates it.

Actually if I fish next year I’m in the following because I’ve made the Forrest Wood Cup as a pro. At least that’s how I read it.
