The Red Wing event should be a hoot. It’s almost a month later than it has been lately, the winning fish will be out of those handful of post-spawn hotspots that everyone knows about, and the lake trolling bite will be well established.

Been waiting for the schedule to be released since Bismarck.

Gotta say… bit of a surprise. Lots of rumblings about the League & East/West Divisions and now we know.

Looking at the dates, also appears the tournies are going to 3 day events (Thursday, Friday, Saturday) as opposed to the 4 day tournies previously. I couldn’t find any official announcement of this but the dates given lead me to believe that is the case.

I was really hoping to fish all of them this year (thinking there would be 4 + Championship) and now there really is no way in heck to swing 6 + Championship and still remain employed.

So… I’m definitely in on the West Division as a Co-Angler, maybe try and hit one of the East Division events for fun as well.

If any of you guys need someone to register with, I finished top 50 as a Co-Angler this year so I’ll have priority entry as well as fishing all events in the West. November 2 isn’t that far away! Yikes!

sounds Kind of $$$$ 3 events + 3 days per event and lots of miles on the pick up make it tought for prefishing $$$ it should be call AARP IPO FLW only the retired have the time off to fish. no longer for the working man with a few weeks of Vacation.
