Peter, My partner lives in Oshawa and I live North of Barrie. We perish the day before the event. We always plan to perish for the next event the Sunday after but haven't done that yet. The cost for me isn't much different then fishing in the Kawarthas. I still need a motel there so maybe $50 to $60 in extra truck gas. Its worth every kilometer to get there, both for the series and the lakes we fish. FLW sounds great but Id rather fish for money other then my own. And from I see there you are fishing for everyones entry fees. I wish you and your endeavour into FLW well.
Bass Wishes
Pete
