    Anybody Fish the ABA Opens?

    With the BFL price increase, I am looking at fishing something different next year. Does anybody here fish the ABA Opens at Ky lake? Do you have any major complaints? Looking at the results from this year, the boat count is pretty low compared to BFL, but that might change for next year.

    I’ve never fished them, but the only complaint I’ve ever heard about them is that they don’t text out the pairings. You have to be at the meetings in person every time.

    That have to be at meeting day before is kinda wacked,,, especially as most people probably work. Even more wacked is u can pay extra to not be at the meetings.
    Seems even more screwed up.
    I mean u either have to be there for the trail to work, or being there isnt needed. Obviously it isnt needed if people can just pay not to be there.. Seems dumb and just wasting peoples time.

    Looks like they’ve changed a bit for the better.

    They are texting now and you don't have to be at the meeting anymore if you pay a one time fee of $20 or $25 for the freedom pass. I have never fished them where you are from but here in NC it is a good alternative to the more expensive BFL's now. That what Im going to fish this year also since FLW went up again on the BFL entries.
