Location: Waukesha Wisconsin | For those who do tournaments it appears that our choices keep growing every year. We have the MWS, MWC, GNWC, WAT WWA, PWT, FLW League, FLW Tour, Merc Nationals, Otter Street, Fleet Farm and a host of others. But with added choices conflicts also seem to appear on which ones to do. With that being said, what tournaments do you plan on doing in 2005? What tournaments do you enjoy the most?
For me, I'm still waiting to hear more about the rumored Mercury Tournament Series before making final commitments. My guess is that I'll be doing the MWS, MWC, Otter Street and GNWC. This may be my year to sit back and watch the FLW since I own a Lund and the bonus money is not there for me anymore. My favorite series is the MWS, great sticks and very professionally run.
What are your thought?

| I have a tentative tournament schedule. Much of the decision on if I fish it or not hinges on what Gander Mountain decides to do. (Rippineyes and I may fish as a "Pro Staff" team for Gander) If it all works out, we would fish most of the tournaments held on Mille Lacs this year, and all my guide work will be the same a pre-fishing!!
MTT...... May 21 (Sat.) 1 day tourney
MTT.......May 22 (Sun.) 1 day tourney
MTT......June 4 (Sat.) 1 day tourney
MTT......June 5 (Sun.) 1 day tourney
Wave Wacker June 9 and 10 (Thurs./Friday)
Hunters Point June 24 and 25 (Fri./Sat.)
Red Door July 9 and 10 (Sat./Sun.)
GNWC July 17 (Sunday)
MTT Aug 6 and 7 ( 2 Day Tourney, Sat. and Sun.)
If we qualify, the MTT (Minnesota Tournament Trail) Championship is on Lake Of The Woods, in mid Sept..

Location: McFarland, WI | Current plans are for the MWS, Fleet Farm, and a couple Musky tournaments. As a Tuffy owner I have no enticements other than the good company and competition of/with quality anglers and a growing list of friends like Dennis. Any monies are rapidly spent on equipment and refreshment, all of which is merely a bonus. After a trip to Devils Lake and an ice excursion on LBDN, I'll be yearning for the wolf river bite.

| MWC East
April 23, 24 Detroit River
May 21, 22 Henderson Harbor, NY
Aug 19, 20, 21 Dunkirk, NY
Hopefully fit in at least 2 of the WBSA (Western Basin Sportfishing Asso) that Freebyrd spoke of and (of course) the Huron Boosters and the Hawgfest. That's enough for me!

Location: Combined Locks, WI | My schedule is pretty full in 2005. I will be doing the MWC Central, FLW Walleye League Wisconsin Division, Mercury National Walleye Tournament, and the MWS. This should hold solid unless Brunswick makes the announcement that Sunshine speaks of, then my plans my change a bit.
