    BFL participation

    150 boats on Smith Mountain Lake today for a BFL event. That is a large field for a BFL here. Just short of 22 lbs. won with a 7-14 lunker.

    Yeppers, the Jet a Marina use to always have 250 to 350 boats, this year I think it was 148 boats which is still the largest tournament on these lakes most of the time.

    I presume lots of guys fished both - so if the Piedmont didn't have theirs today, Shenandoah would have been a lower turnout. Plus Regional is on James so that always brings out the numbers.

    Fishing sucked yesterday. Quite a few zeros - 50 on the boater side, 85 on the co side.
