BFL Event

-Dave- · January 30, 2008, 04:54:15 PM

I an thinking of entering a BFL event in the Empire division for the 1000 Islands Area Tournament since its closest to me. I will be fishing as a Co-Angler and am wondering if there are any specific lures and or presentations that work well $:-\$ I don't fish this area and am starting to do some research. It is out of French Creek Marina. Whats most prodominant in that area Smallies or Largies? It is in july so you have plenty of time to answer.

Any info will help, Thx

Are you fishing for trophy's/prizes vs. money if your under 16? Reason I ask is that if your fishing for money or high dollar prizes and win something, it used to be that this could affect your amature standing if you want to compete at the college level.

Nice. I can't wait until I get to really compete. Only two years.

from what I read all you need is Parental Consent if your under 16.
