John,

We're going to be voting on our 2002 schedule next Wednesday. We're already planning on being at the Open in May. Is that a good assumption - is May the most likely month? Also, do you think the first weekend in May is when it will be held?

It seems best that you guys plan the Open & we do the same for the Invitational, including setting the dates. Just out of interest, though, what do BNT'ers think of having the Invitational the 3rd weekend in October? That's when we've held it for years, including this year. The weather would probably be consistently better (warmer) if we held it a couple of weeks earlier (plus a little more available daylight), but the fishing seems to improve at Clear Lake the later into October/November you go. Just wondered what your folks thought about the 3rd weekend in October time frame.

Thanks,

Andy

May 11-12 for the Open since there is a por am the week before. And the Invite is fine on the 3rd week of Oct. My TOC for 2002 will be the last weekend of Sep. I would be able to go YEEEE HAAAW

I think May 12 2002 is Mother's Day.

Ouch then it will have to be the following week. Even better.18-19

Cool. Do you have any idea when WON Bass season starts up again in Fall 2002?

Glad to hear the Invitational 2002 date will work for you.

The 2002 schedule started this month. The 2003 schedule will start in Sep of 2002.
