I think schedule was announced at AOY event in July so been out for a while (before sale). Generally they only go to CA every couple of years.

Lake Toho or Lake Kissimmee in Florida. Break up your week and fish shiners for a few days and switch to artificals for a few days to try the best of both worlds. Go out with a guide 1 day with shiners and then 1 day with a guide and fish only artificials, then fish the rest of the days on your own. Someone suggested the Disney Lakes which are good for easily catching 20-25 in a day but none near trophy size and you will pay Disney prices $350 per person for 4 hour trip. You can get a good guide for a full day on Kissimmee or Toho for less than that.

Just joined a BASS club and fishing my first tournament next month. My questions are: Do you use livewell treatment in your wells for every tournament you fish? If you only use it for certain tournaments/conditions when do you use it? What treatment do you prefer to use and why?

Guests allowed to fish. Pay entry fee and big bass fee and are allowed to win both. Just do not receive points.

Sorry I am a newbie around here and new to Bass fishing as well. What is a dipper?

I have not been down in Florida long and definately have the BASS bug. Where I came from the lakes freeze over and snow is on the ground 5 months a year. Now that the air and water temperatures are dropping from the 70's 2 weeks ago and now down into the 60's. Do the fish just shut down? Do they shut down for a short period of "shock" then get active again? What are some techniques to try when the water temperature drops? What are your go to lures when the water temps cool? Do the fish stick close to the pads and reeds or do they move deeper? I am trying to learn and any help is greatly appreciated.

Good start. Keeping the Federation spots in the Classic and adding Classic spots for the winner of each Elite Series event and each winner of Open Series events.
