While having my coffee and going through all this past weekends tournaments one thing really stood out, None of the tournaments had a full field! A BFL hosted on Sam Rayburn (TX) had just fifty eight of the two hundred boats allowed. The Lake Okeechobee (FL) FLW Series tournament hosted in late January only filled one hundred and fifty eight of two hundred slots available. The FLW Tour event hosted this past weekend on Table Rock lake (MO) had one hundred and fifty six boats! I have been unable to find a single event that has had a full field!
If you fish tournaments whats keeping the boat in the garage is it money, Weather, work conflicts? Why is tournament fishing struggling right now?
