FLW this week

Posted by ken on September 28, 2016

In case you are not following closely there are two significant events happening this week. Closest to home is the 3rd of 3 of the Southwestern Division of the Costa FLW Series on Fort Gibson in Oklahoma. This is the first of the series that I have set out in the last few years but paying the bills takes precedent in this case and with my overall standings for the year staying home, especially being out most of next week at the Bass Champs Championship, seemed to make sense. From talking with buddies this is going to be a have and have not tournament beyond what we normally see. Lots of "spot" fishing, probably some pretty interesting encounters between anglers day to day. Prediction is some guys will have big stringers on one day and basically no show's on others. Sounds from the 6-7 guys I'm hearing from that high 20's makes the 2 day cut, low 40's wins going away, but we shall see.

About 600 miles east in central Tennessee the second of the BFL regionals starts tomorrow on Chickamauga. Per buddies up there huge expanses of shallow grass, some blow up's, some pull-down's, but overall really, really brutal fishing. Dead in the middle of the transition summer to fall, have to think this little cool front heading that way helps some, but I'm hearing 20 lbs may make the cut and mid 30's will win. Should be entertaining to watch.
