There's a thread on NCBF about the late spawn because of all the bad weather we've had this year. Great info! It got me thinking, there's gonna be one heckuva spawn happening when it comes time to fish the Open this year. :D yeah baby! I can't wait. If only I had some vacation time to prefish for it...

Oh yeah, I know there are always tourneys on Clear Lake but does anyone know if there are any big ones going on during the Open?
Not that it's been a major problem but it'd sure be nice if there was only a club tourney or two going on instead of a WON BASS event or whatever.

Chris,

I asked John that question last week and his response was that the same local club as last year is going to be there again.

Hmmm... I don't recall who that was. I thought there was a bigger event going on last year. Maybe I was just confusing it with the last time we had the Open at the Keys. The Keys is still my favorite area and the campground is awesome. (maybe next year!? I hope) I guess BASS liked the Keys too. That was kinda cool how they divided it up for the their recent event there. I was suprised by it. I figured they were going to divide the entire lake, not just the Keys & Rattlesnake area.

i dont think the big tourneys will be a problem, some guys can get nasty but most r cool and tend to leave when they see us stick big fish or 2 right in front of them. but then again there are always ####s but hey thats what swimbaits r used for secondary :7

I see an 'ABA NC Team' event there on Sunday, according to my 'Gone Fishing' calendar. No idea how many boats that would be, though, or where they're launching from.

There will be a tournie both days. The stratos tournament is saturday and the NC sunday. Neither will be at state park. There is a won bass the weekend before, I'll be there. There is at least 1 club going out of state park. I know there is another going fishing clear that weekend as well but not sure where they are blasting off yet. There is an event scheduled every weekend on clear in may so there is no way around it. The way I look at it as long as there isnt a pro am were all good.

Cool. I'm gettin' pumped thinking about it.

Here's to a solid week of warm weather before and during the Open. *DING* chugalugalugalug - hic :9 :+

Here's an updated list from NCBF. 6 events at once:

1. The Stratos Owners tourney
2. A club fishing out of Lucerne
3. The Bass Classics club fishing out of State Park (2 days)
4. An Anglers World tourney out of Red Bud (never heard of them)
5. An ABA tourney on Sunday
6. And us.

:o Maybe one big event in addition to ours would have been better! HAR!!

Lets just go out and have fun, it is nearly impossible to try and schedule around Clear Lake tournaments in the Spring, it is just something we have to deal with. See you all out there

Excuse me! I wasn't suggesting we lynch the tourney director, Josh.
I realize everybody's club wants to fish Clear Lake at this time of the year.
It's conversation for the forum. It gets kinda boring hangin' out at my pad, solo, with nothing to do but watch TV and do my laundry. OK?

I intend to have a great time and I hope everyone else does too.
