I want to fish but can not find anyone with a boat to fish with..
IF you are not fishing this tournament please tell me why you would not fish for $20,000.00
Anglers are putting in to Pre-Fish for other tournaments and not fishing the tournament.. some are saying they can't afford the $95.00 while driving a $15,000 boat and running a $20,000 tow vehicle..
Is there anyone out there who could NOT use $20K or more ..????
The money is guaranteed... they paid last year.. so what is the problem if you are not fishing..
(So far 200 entries... so the $20K is covered.. why not come out and fish tomorrow??)

I think most of the serious guys pretty much set up a budget to fish one or maybe two circuits a year(at least in my case) and with the price of gas it's pretty hard to deviate from that...yeah I know its only 95.00 but you forgot to add 165.00 to fill my boat,75.00 to fill my truck, might not seem like much but thats over one entry into BFL. While they may have a 35,000.00 setup(which is actually very low for todays rigs) they may be commited to other circuits and have the money budgeted for that so that 95.+ a day is actually alot in the scheme of a year.
