Hey everyone! Been reading around awhile and seems like an awesome site! I was wondering if anyone here fishs the opens or will be? I am fishing the three southerns as a co-angler. Just wonder of any advice or thoughts of what I got myself into. I have experience as a BFL co-angler, but thats it other than club and local stuff. Any thoughts will be gladly accepted.

Best Wishes to you in the Opens! I have not fished any of them only the Weekenders as a non. My thoughts are that you are in for a treat. If you have fished as a co angler before then take that experience and add a little more flash and flare.  

I have fished Top 150's

Top 150 anglers on the B.A.S.S. circuit

BASS Master's brought their Top-150 Pro/Am event here to Toledo Bend in February 2001; there had not been a B.A.S.S. event here on Toledo since 1980/1981 season. Fishing as a co-angler you are completely at the mercy of your Pro. Day 1 started out delayed due to heavy fog, my Pro and I sat back in a pack of about 10 boats. One of the boats tied to our boat was Larry Nixon who I know quite well, my Pro who I'll leave un-named asked Larry since you know this lake very well what direction are you planning on heading north or south? Larry simply stated if I had the amateur you have in the back of your boat I would head to his waters. The word was out during pre-fishing that many huge bass were being caught on the south end of the lake and that a certain Cajun was leading the pack. Well day 1 was canceled due to the fog meaning I would spend day 2 with the same Pro. We were the 10 boat in line to leave Cypress Bend with only 2 of the previous boat heading south and I'm thinking alright. Well guess what? You guessed it my Pro turns his Ranger due north at 85 mph staying on that course until we were so far north that when he stopped I told him Dude I aint got no Oklahoma license. Needless to say we spend all morning on the extreme north end of the lake just so my Pro could catch 1 bass of maybe 2 ½ lbs.

Oh yea I ended up in 44th overall and never did get to fish the south end where the tournament was won by Dean Rojas but I did beat Jimmy Houston and Roland Martin who were both skunked.

That's us dead center
