What keeps you from entering a BASS open?
With BASS promoting the heck out of their open tourneys, I'm curious
what stops you and or your friends from entering one?Cost? Time off work? Fear of finishing in last place? All of the above? |

| Just need to get my own boat, cost would probably be the only other
contributing factor to not entering. It's what I dream about every morning
when I'm on the lake : ) P.S Caught 9 this morning including a 4 and a 5 pounder, the 5 pounder was
videotaped too!!! |

| Location. I live in BFE so I would have to drive forever to get there, and
couldn't take the time off either. Cost is not an issue. Who cares if I were to finish last. We all have good days and bad days. John C. French |

| Cost being the number one factor... and the thought of all the pressure that
I would put on myself. I probably wouldn't enjoy myself with that much
pressure. |

| For me, fishing is something I enjoy by myself or with a friend or my kids.
I like to get out, have fun, and relax. A tournament would be more like
going to work. :-) Jeff |

| Warren would know best, but as I read the rules $200 entry fee for a non
boater....and then lodging and espenses at the tourney site for 6 days
or so + your gear. Am I missing any fees Warren? You can enter on line at: http://proxy.espn.go.com/outdoors/bassmaster/members/

| Only half of them Fritz, lol. The amatuer entry fees for an open are $400, but you can figure on spending
closer to a grand before all is said & done. All that to ride in the back
of a boat. Big fun, seriously though. You may need a AOBP membership too,
but I'm not sure. There are amateur openings still for the Northern Opens, which start the end
of the month on Lake Erie at Buffalo. Warren |
