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.Originally Posted by PeterTuz
Renegade had done a great job building this series and from all accounts it is top notch BUT most young guys that would love to fish this series (myself included) that i know, live 2.5hrs+ away from the closest lake. We also don't have 6 weeks vacation. Most of us work full time jobs and the vacation time that we do have, we have to split between fishing/family/friends/prior engagements. Pre-fishing after work is obviously out of the question because of the travel, and if you think you're going to pre-fish for one of these events the sat/sun (weekend) before the event and show up and win you're dreaming (Some VERY good sticks fish this series, and have a wealth of knowledge on all these bodies of water). Most of us that fish the Kawartha's and have little to no experience on any of those lakes.....so then you factor in cost (travel, gas, accommodations for a week before every event and food) and it just doesn't make sense. One event, two....maybe...but a full series out there...you need some serious coin and I personally don't have that kind of money right now. Judging by field sizes most guys don't either. Once again though.....Great series, awesome lakes....good luck to all who fish them this upcoming season, i know I wish I could
Bass Wishes
Pete
