Busch shootout and further tourneys

[Slyster]

Now that the classic is done... what's next? I heard a few quick reference to the Busch Shootout... when is this? Is there coverage? What other bass coverage and tourneys are coming up in the next weeks and months.. anyone know?

If you go to Bassmaster (Contact US Regarding This Word) there is a link for tournaments I think the next is an elite 50 tourney March 8-9 and if I recall it is on Lake Amistad, Del Rio, Texas followed the next weekend by another on Sam Rayburn and then two weeks later Sanatee Cooper. There are 11 tourneys on the Elite 50 Series this year.

There is also the open series, the southern open starts this weekend on Sam Rayburn. This is all I can remember of the top of my head but you can get the info at the Bassmaster Site.

The Busch shootout is pretty cool. That had coverage of it last year. Its not live. I goes back to the format of how the classic used to be. The anglers find out where they are fishing when the plane lands. Lat year they gave them all a tackle bag, then took them to Bass pro and let them fill up their back and they had to use that. They make up the field of anglers by I think the classic champion and the rest are the largest stringers from each day of the prior tournemnts.
