What do you all think of the 2007 BASS Opens? Personally, I think they stink. How is a guy from the West or North going to be able to compete? Also, how are they going to attract people nationally? They never leave the deep south! Maybe I saw the wrong schedule: Central & Southern Division 3 tourneys a piece? They certainly aren't expanding that circuit. I'm a huge ***, but this doesn't seem too right.

I live in Michigan and will probably fish the Southern Opens.  You are very right, it seems they have really ignored the North.  Stren did the same thing.  I was going to fish the Stren Midwest next year until the new regions and schedules for 2007 were posted.  Talk about a crock!!  No more midwest trail and Texas basically got another tournament trail!!  Doesnt Texas have enough tournament trails?

Looks like either way I'm going to be doing some traveling next year.

I hear yall. It does seem that BASS sticks a little closer to home for them. Has anyone heard any words or rumors about the Bassmaster TOURS coming back in 2007...? I hope they do, otherwise that means six tournaments are available for Pro-anglers through BASS...the OPENs... Is this correct?
