Next year we are coming south for the Championship. It looks like Lake Cachuma but, we aren’t guaranteeing that yet – just that it will be south of mid state (San Luis Obispo)

I think the small turnouts in the south are mostly due to the very small amount of time from announcement to the events. People are still signing up everyday for the southern events and the northern events are sold out. Even though the championship is in NorCal – this will be the easiest year for any socal’r to make it to the finals. The feedback has been tremedous so far and we know next year will be full fields around the state – especially with some of the goodies we have in store for the regionals and the state championship.

GK – give me a call I want to run something by you. Thanks – 415-755-8463

See you all on the water!

You would hope everyone who qualifies will go wherever. But the fact is, not everyone will be as motivated to go the distance if they don’t have some connection with the finals site.

I wonder if the northern guys will fish this event next year if the championship is at a place in the south like Diamond Valley ?

I think you called it right, with the finals at Clear Lake being too far for some willing to travel, and it’s what I told Tom L. yesterday was probably why they did not fill down south here. But as I’ve fished it for the past few years (after teaching photo workshops up there, tax write-off), it’s just shy of heaven (along with the Delta) for more than just great bags too! (The Westernbass ‘Nutcase fun-tourney’ is usually there too, they are a blast).

I’m praying to make the qualifier at one of the lakes down south here myself. I’ll probably make it to Clear Lake, qualified or not. Frog fishing in the summer is off the hook there, not to mention the swimbait bite and the average size of the fish is triple or quadruple San Diego lakes.
