Title: BASS Elite Series
Post by: dashaver63 on February 21, 2008, 04:31:22 PM
I see where the Elite Series will be fishing Fort Madison, Iowa. Can't wait to see how they fish the river compared to how we fished it during the Regional. Thats a small launch also, should be interesting. And then there's the train issue.

Shouldn't be too bad launching them out of there. I think we launched close to 150 boats for the Stren Series and they did a really good job at getting us in and out. I think the Elite series runs just over 100 boats... right?
The only problem I see is if they get A LOT of rain... then the overflow parking will be a mud hole.

You're right though.. it will be interesting to see what they may do differently. My guess is that we will see more go north and lock through. In the Stren... most everyone stayed in the same pool.

Montrose lotus beds.  Especially if the water gets high or muddy.

There is a HUGE pad field not far from the launch, south I believe, that the Regional was won in. I know my 2nd day boater took almost 15lbs. out of it with a frog. Plus I got one 3.5 out of it flipping and should have had more except I was suffering from rectal cranial inversion that day.
