What's your take on the Fishers of Men Tournies?

[fisher98]

I have just been looking around various Bass fishing tournament circuits, and i am curious to know if anyone here fishes the Fishers of Men tournies East/West in Minnesota?

What is your take on these tournies? How are they run? How many boats usually fish it? Is it worth looking into further???

Any comments would be greatly appreciated--just curious....

I have only fished one of there events, Fishers of Men East Division on Rush Lake and I was really impressed! Very well run organisation, with an inspirational Friday night meeting. The other anglers were all first class people and VERY competitive! Only thing I did not care for was the only one day of pre fishing that Friday before the event. Other than that It was great! We even managed to finish in the money at that event! I would deffenitely fish it again, unfortunately the Rush Lake event is the same weekend as the Osakis Lions walleye tournament. Which I have already commited to!

This a great team circuit to fish. The guys fishing it don't mess around either, they are good! The west division averages around 50+ boats I think. Minnetonka had somwhere around 70 boats. The East usually had 40-45 boats. In the East it took over 17lbs (5 fish) in each tournament to win. The biggest weight was on North/south center, it was about 19.5lbs with over 18.5lbs needed to crack the top 5.
