I just received the 2018 Michigan BFL bass tournament schedule and I see they are going back to an older, more variety formula from a number of years ago for a change. I expect some of you will like it. Maybe some won't?
Event Date | Tournament Site | Priority Deadline | Entry Deadline |
June 9 | Burt-Mullett, Aloha State Park | May 29 | Jun 5 |
July 14 | St. Clair, Harley Ensign Boat Launch | Jul 3 | Jul 10 |
Aug 4 | Muskegon Lake, Fishermen's Landing | Jul 24 | Jul 31 |
Aug 25 | Detroit River, Elizabeth Park Marina | Aug 14 | Aug 21 |
Sep 15-16 | Detroit River, Elizabeth Park Marina | Sep 4 | Sep 11 |
Does anyone know if 2019 is expected to be a repeat? Or back to the rotation of St Clair and Detroit River? They normally "Unofficially" announce tentative Dates / Locations at the Super Tournament which was this weekend just past.
I see St. Clair, St. Clair, St. Clair, Detroit River, Detroit River. Out of control variety right there... ;D
Did they not draw much in 2018 (I admit I wasn't watching - too much fishing to do).
Been discussed on other boards quite a bit.
Probably did it to maximize entries. They raised entry fees to 300 boater and 150 non boater for regular events. There payout per event is 53% of entries paid. I know the end result is the no entry regional at KY Lake and a chance at the All American. But to me it does not make a good business case to fish them. The ST Clair guys will be happy they are all in there back yard.
