I guessed that's is part of the reason why the town of French Lick build a new casino because without tournament bass fishing at Patoka they are screwed. You really don't know much about the tournament scene Crappie, so quit talking about it. 99% don't contributes? don't spend money on local gas, hotel, food, etc..? give me a break. I spend a little over 300 bucks this past weekend in French Lick and that's just me. If you want to, call the Huck's gas station, Lane's Motel, restaurants in French Lick and ask them what is the different in revenue on a tournament versus non-tournament weekend. I wonder if this fees apply to all the natural lakes up north.
