Is anyone planning on fishing this series this year??? What is your personal take on this series of tournies?? Is it a well run program???

Any comments good or bad, or even peoples personal experience with these tournaments would help....I am thinking about fishing these but I do not know that much about them..any comments would be great!

Well, first of all it is a christian based tournament cicuit. When you check in for the pre-tournament meeting you have a free meal, and prizes that they give away. Then they have a guest speaker come up and talk about how God has changed their life. Other than that it is run just like any other large tournament cicuit. The East division runs on average about 40-45 boats per tournamet and it takes anywhere from 16lbs-20lbs for 5 fish to win a tourney depending on what lake it is. They are very well run and everybody that fishes it is very friendly. And the competition is pretty tough! But very fun.

I have fished and sponsored these the last two years. I have enjoyed them and met a lot of new fishing buddies. Although like Bassin said it takes a nice bag to come home with a check!

I fished one last year on coon lake,thought I would do well since I guide on that lake but the bass were not very nice to me that day. As far as how they're ran it is very impressive.pre tourny meeting was cool raffled of stuff,good food and dock talk speech was a tad long but o well.highly recommend good circuit for mid level tournaments.
