Hello,

I am fishing my first ever tournament with the FLW BFL with weekend at Kerr Lake. I am currently 12th on the waiting list with registration being on Friday. What do you think my chances are of getting in? Is this a common occurrence or has it happened to anyone else? Thank you all and if you have any tips for me that would be greatly appreciated! 

Without a guaranteed boater it's tough to deciede what to do.

You may get called you may not. I've found down here that yes, 1 or 2 co anglers may not show for whatever reason, but never more than that.

Once I was at 11 and moved to 3 the day before the meeting.

I drove 2 hrs to attend anyway in the hope that 3 co anglers didn't show up and darn if they didn't.

A friend was 5 the day before the meeting and he went and 3 didn't show, so he decided to stay the night and check at the ramp in the morning.

1 didn't show, he was next and didn't get to fish. It was a long ride home.

Good luck I hope you make it.

Mike
