2011 ROI Outdoors Events & Other 100% Payback Productions..........

[ROI Outdoors]

For it only being the 1st full-year of operation in the tournament-game we are pleased with some of the results; only some because there are so many more improvements and incentives to be gained.  That being said we are very well pleased with our positioning going into 2011 and will be announcing the majority of our schedules and events during the next few weeks.  

Some things in the works for 2011 are an East-side version of the Elite Series that would fish St. Clair, Detroit River and then have an overall Elite Series Championship with a major payday or prize-package (we get the same amount of boats fishing the East-side Elite as we had this year for the Lakeshore Elite Series and we would be in a great position to go big-time with sponsored incentives), more One on One opportunities with an overall Championship, faster and more uniform results and points standings (The Dude is like our Obi-Wan Kenobi on this one), more manufacturer bonus-incentives, basically we want to make it as good as possible because as anglers we are you and you are us..................

One announcement that we are proud to already make is that Greatlakesbass.com will be the official tournament forum and bass fishing general discussion site for ROI Outdoors in 2011.  Because Dan has done such a superb job with GLB we want to bring as many anglers as we can to the party - there are far to many missing out on the information and entertainment found here so we have made it our goal to try and bring it all under one very structual sound roof.  Plenty more to come in the next few weeks so stay tuned and thanks for starting to see that we can all make this into whatever we want it to become!

Nice.  I am planning on getting in on the Lakeshore action for 2011.  I was on the water every time you came to Muskegon, and I saw first hand when your opener took off.  Just didn't have a boat that I felt comfortable trying to fish out of in a tourney.  We'll see what next year brings.
