JohnMickish Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I got an email today that stated registration for the bass side of the FLW starts tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryguy247 Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 That is right. But for the great lakes region it says the 12th registration starts. They start different regions on different dates. I am think about giving it a whirl, would like to know what people thought of it if they did it last year.

bryguy247 Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 I would really like to find a boater to link up with to guarantee a spot for all the great lakes events. Let me know if anyone is interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Bassman Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 if you are thinking of doing this as a co-angler you might also want to check out the B.A.S.S Weekend Series, I know last year there was a lot of boaters on here for both of these tours so you should be able to find a boater.

bryguy247 Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 Thats a great idea. And actually after looking at the locations of the B.A.S.S weekend series events for our region they are even closer to home for me. Payouts and costs to enter don't seem to be much different either. I might have to change my mind on the which ones to enter. Because the B.A.S.S ones are closer I should sign up for all of them, and just pick some of the FLW ones that are within a couple hour drive for me. Thanks for your help.

Central Bassman Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 There are more FM members that fish that BASS W S on here then FLW as of right now. I have fished both and both are good tournaments. Ones it gets a little close to spring there will be more people looking for non-boater.

Central Bassman Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Was a co angler a few years ago but now a boater Co-Anlgers are great way to learn, I learned lot from being one!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryguy247 Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 Thats Great. Well good Luck in the coming year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay.P Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 bryguy,Let me know what FLW events you want to fish when you decide what you want to do. I will be fishing the Great Lakes Division again this year and do not have a co-angler to sign up with. The BFLs are well run events and with the miles and miles of river to fish, they are very challenging as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metro fisherman Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Do you guys think theres any chance for a kid like me to get in as a co-angler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Bassman Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 How old are you?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metro fisherman Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 19.5 to be fairly close. Mostly hard water tourneys so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMickish Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Find a boater with a Ranger and your in, it's that simple. If you can't find a boater you can always apply by yourself. Go to the FLW HSOforum and the rules are explained very well there. To find a boater you might have to visit a site that is geared more to bass tourney fishing.

Central Bassman Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 i fished my first bfl as a co angler when i was 17 so if you are 19 you shouldn't have any problem with it. I would sign up asap just so you know you are guaranteed a spot in the tournament. Sometimes there are way more co anglers then boaters, that is why its a good ideal to sign up early.

metro fisherman Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Thanks for the info guys. Apparently you have be an FLW member who subscribes to register (for a fee). So it looks like im sticking to local walleye and bass tourneys this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Bassman Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 It only cost you $15 dollars to become a member of FLW for a year, you will get the FLW magazine as well if you sign up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMickish Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 It's a pretty cheap membership and the magazines are worth more than the cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryguy247 Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 I am sure if you are willing to spend a $100 for an entry fee, that $15 should be an easy choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metro fisherman Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 You'd think that wouldnt you. If you have an expired subscription does that work? I already get Minnesota Sportsman, Infisherman and B.A.S.S. So anymore and my brain would explode from reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryguy247 Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Ha Ha isnt that the truth. Well good luck with whatever you do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay.P Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Fishing the BFLs will be a great way to improve your fishing and worth the investment. The anglers on this circuit are great anglers and you will learn a ton. I say go for it man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
