Title: Earlier Start for the 2018-2019 season
Post by: Whytie on Oct 04, 2018, 11:31 AM
Any chance of getting an earlier start to the 2018-2019 season. By January 1st it's like mid season around here and the fish don't bite. if possible a November 15th or December 1st start.

A December 1 start would be AWESOME.  I catch my best fish in December.  Haven't been able to get any traction with that yet.  With Lone Wolf retiring from the tourney (again)  :(, there seems to be some question whether we will have one at all this year.

I think each state should do their own "tournament" for bragging rights

It would be nice if the tournament was earlier,  by the time it starts I have 2 foot of ice and the fish has slowed way down . And the big bows have pretty much went dormant
