Anybody hear what "the deal" was? Seemed like every boat that came by us was slinging a white spinner bait or buzz bait... But I never saw a fish landed.

We didn't put a keeper in the boat. 😕

I'll be out there. Can't resist the chance. Bought my lotto tickets essentially.

I'm paid up to fish the FLW Ozarks Division as a co-angler. Judging from the TH Marine Facebook page, boaters are in short supply. I'm looking for a boater to "link up with" so I'm not on the maybe list come tournament time. If you are, or know a pro I'd be grateful for a referral. Call or text 417.766.8010 Or message me on Facebook : Foster James Thanks-

Jigs4bass is my go to. Trying some Fish Hog stuff I was given this year too.

Don't need the full treatment, just looking to get the carpet in our old Champion shampooed out. Saw one too many spilled energy drinks this season. Suggestions on where or typical cost?

Bill, have you ever considered writing a book? I mean, I realize that's kind of like asking to buy a sports teams playbook... but on the other hand... it would sell.

I guess many would see it that way. Like two buddies would when fishing recreationally, or fishing a buddy tournament. But in this instance you're not buddies, you don't split entry fees, or winnings, and you're not getting carted around. He's required to have a co, can't fish without one...

It's funny you mention that, because several of the FB comments were about the boater wanting the co to kick them some cash for fuel and whatever. ... I mean it's not like I can't afford some extra cash for fuel, it's just strange to me...like isn't that part of you choosing to be the boater? But to your point yes, doing it as a Co really wouldn't be any financial burden. Which is why I'm considering it. Doing it as a boater would however take a lot of the fun out for me just from the additional expense.

So, in reading the thread about MLF vs FLW (and watching Scott Martin) talk about it... I got to reading about the BFL, and I'm pretty intrigued. I've never really followed the different tour setups, basically always considered them to be too expensive and far away for me. I only just read and realized the BFL is divided into divisions, with 5 stops in the Ozark division. And $150 a pop to co-angle. All within driving distance. That, for me is really do-able. I've only ever done some club style buddy tourneys, and the BBT on Table Rock. Both of which I really enjoy and would do more if I had a buddy that wanted to consistently participate. I'm drawn to the amateur option because of the affordability, no wear on my boat, and... I'm just not that good. So, all that said, I checked out the FLW Facebook page and the 2019 BFL post comments are almost all complaints... About the entry fees, how rude the boaters are, payouts, etc... Now I'm not sure what to think. I mean 5 stops is $750 (plus food etc. I get that) not terrible. I'm not in it with big expectations of winning so the payout deal doesn't really bother me. Really just thinking it would be a fun experience. Am I wrong? Are a large portion of the Pros hard to spend a day with?

Anyone want this? I put it on Facebook with minimal interest. Worked fine when pulled off our boat, some wires were snipped (see pics) but could easily be soldered and everything is there. Was asking $50. Make any offer, or trade.

OMG, if I could pull off one trip that good.... probably quit my job and "go pro". (From over confidence)😮

Just cut the rule and let people troll if they want to...I've never stacked up the large mouth trolling. Mostly whites, with some short LMs, and an occasional walleye...maybe I'm trolling wrong.

So, much like the Oddessy and Deka AGMs... I'd love to have a set, but since I don't run my boat for a living it's more of a money pit than a money maker. Don't think I can justify the cost difference in my case.
