Location: Manitowoc, WI | Does anyone have an explanation on why the FLW Tour is not going back to Oconto? From what I've heard it was the most popular event with the biggest crowds in attendance. |

Location: Berlin | No idea Jerry but I am more upset that they did not have all 4 qualifiers on Bago... |
|

|
| There was a article in the local news paper that the FLW was returning to Oconto but stated that dates have not been set. A few days later schedule comes out with no Oconto???????????? |
|
| |
|
| Oconto was a great host for 2011, but the host city for 2012 must have a Wal-Mart.
|

|
| Is the slot back for Michigan water and is it the same as the previous one??? |

Location: Berlin | Darn it, if only there was a place just south of the bay that had good walleye fishing. Maybe they could just have the big tournaments there instead. If only there was such a place... |
|

|
| ask the Bass guys they probably know. I guess it's not "if you build it they will come" |
|
| |
|
| Sorry guys yhat one has also been targeted for having vhs, don't know if the bass tornys are on the water weigh ins but FLW wants it at Wal-Mart and there are none on bago's shores, |

Well that's the dirty little secret, they are already final day kill tournies. |

Location: Berlin | Aaron, since we are talking dirty litle secrets, Sentry would not cover Shep's penile implant. They originally told him that they would cover the procedure but not the implant itself but ended up not covering anything. I will never recommend them to anyone after hearing that. I hate seeing someone get the shaft...and have to pay for it :D

Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | Big Eyes, you are wrong. The DNR Will permit the fish to be transported for a tournament if you properly apply and it meets requirements. |
|

|
| Guess when I called done there they just decided to lie to me and aren't reallt interested in coming back. |

Location: Berlin | Yes, I believe they actually had 2 different event weigh-ins there. Just another reason to come to Bago. |

Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | I am not being a smart pants but they weighed in at walmart in oshkosh during the VHS Years. That was farther than right at the waters edge. That just shows that the DNR will give permits if all steps are followed. What my guess is they did not want to jump through the rings. Its also possible the Biologist for Green Bay did not want to issue a permit in back to back years for a high profile tournament. The FLW Has taken its toll on the bay fish. |

It would take two years of FLW daily events to equal the amount of fish that end up as table fare annualy during the month of May.

Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | 620. Not speaking of the kill only. The high profile of the first FLW that came to GB Taught everyone the where and how of the easy fish. Everyone says that no one watches tournaments but I strongly disagree. STRONGLY. After the MWC Knolls hit it out of the park the tournament fishermen followed and the next year was pandamonium. You remember. Every year its gets more and more. I am only guessing on the biologist, I do not know, but it might be good speculation by as many fish do get taken out from spring through summer. |

| does help with mws,swc,mwc bangin the fish around and moving them out of there natural movements it surely screw them up so its just not flw. infact flw participates certainly take better care of the fish then mws and swc lil boats do! |

Thats certainly a matter of opinion. There are also many many guides who routinely plaster there big fish night time pixs all over the internet. Many of them do not care about the resource, they just want to cash in on it.
I believe that Green Bay can only take just so much begfore the quality of the fishery will fall. |
