Might as well change it up to largemouth only, as much as i love fishing for smallmouth, I dont like the long rough runs. Id rather fish against a possible 75 boats than the 30 boats that enter for smallmouth open events. Im not a fan of fishing near other boats and I think keeping it open waters will spread out the possible 75 boats better, than 10-20 boats fishing beside each other for smallmouth in the Bay. Might as well try it, it wont hurt, Maybe make the classic Smallmouth/Largemouth Open waters to be fair to he guys who like smallmouth and give them at least 1 tournment to run if the weather co-operates. I think thats fair for both sides.
