I can respectfully say that I will not be going to Milford for the ABA's......unless I decide to fish the weekend series I might fish the ABA the Saturday before it.....but a lot of guys might too since the ABA is running the Weekend series and you are required to have an ABA membership on top of you BASS affiliation(from what I understand of it).

I have placed in the top 5 a couple times but when you only have 10 guys there....payout only goes with 1in7......so 2nd is lucky to get paid......I have placed 3rd once and was out of $$ with 3 fish . I will probably be fishing D59 for the 2007...solely due to the fact that it is better organized and seem to have a better turn out then D61.....Nothing against Mike running D61 but it just doesnt seem to draw the same #'s of people when you dont advertise and get word out about it.....plus from what I get....there are still some people with a bad taste in there mouths form previous years

I will look hard at the tourneys I choose to participate in next year....Milford is NOT rulled out but is getting harder for me to consider under those circumstances........Now the Ahern could have been in the picture but I will leave that to the Wolves and go to the Rally at the Rock

What Tyson is saying with the $20 thing is that is what the non-boater fee is....and that only goes if that person has the $$ to help out. There have been a few times that i have fished and the non-boater was not able to afford $20 for help.....let alone the Cast memebers......as far as that goes...I DO NOT expect cast members to pay me.....I was going to be there anyway.....but most do anyway....even if its only $7
