Bass Dude Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 Saw the new qualifying structure for 2012 on BASS website. Didn't see one for the WBT AOY. By the way, I am an advocate for giving the spot to the WBT AOY. Quote

It just so happens the majority of people bass fishing are men. That's just the way it goes. I am not a fan of special diversity programs. Just like blacks and Nascar, no one is discriminating you just have to earn it like everyone else... Quote

Bass Dude Posted October 25, 2010 Author Posted October 25, 2010 My intention was not to rehash this stupid debate---noone's opinions on this will change. I just thought it was interesting that they removed this bid for The Classic. Somtimes this forum gets frustrating!!! > > I know--- if I don't like it...don't get on it...whatever. Lighten up people!!! :P Quote

Bass Dude Posted October 26, 2010 Author Posted October 26, 2010 I didn't see that....they must be keeping that on the down-low!! Quote
Super User Tin Posted October 27, 2010 Super User Posted October 27, 2010 In the next couple years there may not be federation nation spots in the Classic. :-X Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted October 27, 2010 BassResource.com Administrator Posted October 27, 2010 Actually, it's not equal - even for the men. BASS eliminated the Western Opens. And there's no Weekend Series out West either. Now the ONLY way anyone in the west can make it is through the federation. And as Tin noted, that may be going away too. FLW Series pulled out of the west as well for next year. So no, it's not "equal". Quote
lynyrdsky1 Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 I just realized how lucky it is to be in the midsouth area since we got all these major tournaments going on from 5 hours away to just an hour. I feel sorry for all these guys out west because they have all the potential of having great fishing and talented anglers coming from that are but idk why B.A.S.S. and F.L.W. are trying to stop that Quote

Super User Wayne P. Posted December 11, 2010 Super User Posted December 11, 2010 I suspect one of the reasons is there are probably a couple hunderd thousand anti-fishing people on the left coast for every fisherperson and the market is not there. Quote
Dalton Tam Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 I suspect one of the reasons is there are probably a couple hunderd thousand anti-fishing people on the left coast for every fisherperson and the market is not there. That is actually a plausible answer IMO Quote
WarriorBassFishing Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 Definitely the left coast has to change to make it economically feasible to do buisness there. With their regulations and not to mention the Taxes Im surprised anyone who fishes out there hasnt moved over here to TX yet. California has some amazing fisheries but the market and enviroment is Hostile to people who fenjoy our sport. It is sad what is going on out on the coast. I was up in Washington state recently and I couldnt believe the rules and regulations that govern fishing. All the way down to the size and shape of the hook you use. Quote
