[gr@ssmonkey]

  motivation motivation keep it up dan and we will fill the rest of the spots with GLB members

[Waterfoul]

thanks bryanP keep us updated....tring to gather funds to fish it myself....boater would be nice but co-angler if thats all i can afford

Hey, if funds are available... maybe we could split the trip??

[gr@ssmonkey]

i would be willing to do something like this if i can just get mr entry togather

[Mike Nolan]

I signed up as a boater about 8 hours after Bryan did and was also told the field was not full on the boater side but they were short on co-anglers, so if you want to fish as a co-angler I doubt you'll have any trouble getting in.

[Eric]

I called in my deposit for all 3, and all they told me was they are still taking entries, and I would get something in the mail.  They guy I talked to didn't seem real knowledgale.  So assuming I get into them all, I will probably be open to travelling and practicing with someone if anyone is interested.

[Skip Johnson]

I entered as a boater and my credit card was charged $400 for the deposit...somehow I just got a confirmation as a co angler ?

you all might want to double check your entry as I DO NOT have any faith in their system!

The real behind kicker is when I called in laughing and in a good mood making a nice joke or two about the mishap Dennette just simply said ok I'll fix that later today...is there anything else I can do for you...talk about no personality.
Im sure liking FLW's treatment a WHOLE lot better!

[markgoetsch]

I signed up as a boater and haven't got anything in the mail yet.  Has anyone who's going as a boater received anything in the mail?

[BryanP]

I got my confirmation in the mail yesterday, so they must be getting a few co-anglers to sign up.

[markgoetsch]

I finally got my paper work yesterday as well.

[Team houston]

I still have not gotten anybody on the line after about a dozen attempts. Very poor customer service. I guess I will try after the Classic. Honestly that should be no excuse . In 20 yrs I never called FLW and was not talking to someone within a minute or so.

[motocross269]

That is not good....Their online system is down and so is their phones...I guess I better start trying to get ahold of them early to pay off my balance....

[bassinman#1]

Do you think a canadian and michigan license is all you will need?

[Durand Dan]

You never know. Ohio and the Walpole could come into play

[Team houston]

To fish a tourny of this caliber you should have them all, as a co-angler anyway.

[markgoetsch]

I'd at least have the Walpole because that one isn't easy to get in a hurry.  But Ohio wouldn't be a problem to get. 

[bassinman#1]

How and where can you get a wapole license and how much is a 3 day?

[motocross269]

How and where can you get a wapole license and how much is a 3 day?

I buy both licenses from Lakeside tackle....I have never fished Walpole waters but you never know...That is one of the downfalls of going as a Co...

I have bought the Ohio license for 3 years now fishing as a Co in the BFLs....I haven't fished Ohio waters yet...I agree with the comment wait until the meeting and if your Pro is going to fish Ohio waters you can always get an Ohio license online...

FLW doesn't do it but I have fished BASS events where they check licenses before launch.....

Of course the "Book" answer is be prepared but I have been buying 100 dollars worth of licenses every year that I don't fish the covered waters....

[champion_206]

I finally got my paper work yesterday as well.

Maybe I should check my mail, been a few days since I stopped out to the mailbox on the road   

[dashaver63]

Now that my health issues are behind me, hopfully, I decided to enter the BASS Open a couple weeks ago ang got my invitation today. I'm also fishing the BFL on July 17th. I'd like to be able to fish the DK in May but I'll have wait to see on that. I had to have a brain aneurysm repaired back in December and the recovery has been very slow. My doctor told me I would be back to 100% by then. I'm just very glad the doctors found it before it was too late. Looking forward to seeing everbody again.
