Just got my info from FLW and see entry fees went up 10 %. They switched to 3 down river and 2 on St-Clair. Was thinking about fishing them but not sure I want to invest that much more. Maybe just fish the first one in June. Had fun at it last year.
I'm debating as well. Didn't fare to well on Erie this year, but who knows what next year could bring :-)
Come on guys were is your sense of adventure?
I am a fixed income guy now.
I was thinking about fishing them also but my daughter's wedding is on the first one in June...so that leaves me with 3 downriver and one on LSC...When I fish downriver the costs go way up because of hotel expenses then I worry about my boat sitting at the hotel....I haven't fished much the last 2 years either because of caring for my dad...so I am a little behind.
Maybe I will register as a Coangler and I can always switch over to a boater because it seems like there is always room for more boaters.. at least that will get me on the water..
Im thinkin I will fish the rayovac on erie instead of 5 bfls,5 weekends, 5 prefishes , and 5 drives, that adds up quick.

I think alot of guys have started to go that route.....If the BASS open schedule was a little more Michigan friendly I would consider that...
Is it mandatory for a boater and nonboater to enter these together? Just curious since I am thinking I wouldn't mind fishing 1 or 2 next season and I don't know if I would have to find a boater. I see a lot of nonboats looking for boaters. Thanks.
Not mandatory. Just guarantees you a spot. Signing up without a boater's member number gets you on a wait list.
Does anyone know if there is still open spots for these BFL tournaments or do they fill up fairly quick?
they have not had a full field for as long as I have fished. If you are fishing as a co-angler it will help to find a boater to link with. Then your are guaranteed to get in. If you don't know one you can post on here and try and find one.
Good luck...
