I am 53 on the list for the Co side. If I get asked I will be there. What are my chances and how do I let them know I want to go if I can?
I’ll be there as a Co.
Would have been heading to Bismark as well if I could have put 1 fish in the box at Bemidji.
I am wondering how a local can fish that tournament? How do you get signed up as a co angler?
It’s by invitation only. You must qualify for the event by fishing in the FLW league (top 30 boaters and co-anglers in each of the 4 divisions).

Past has shown they digger deeper on the boater side than co-angler side. The boaters have a bigger commitment to participate.
I hope you do get in.

I’ll be fishing on the Co side. We got one fish on Bemidji to put me in the top 30. We lost a second one at the boat that would have put us in the money.
How does one go about becoming a spotter or helper for the tournament a cpl buddies of mine volunteered for the elite 50 on wissota. They had dinner with the pros and a bunch of free stuff. I mainly just wanna meet the pros
If this is invitation tourney are there ne qualifiers left?
sitting in 33rd as a Co…
just needed one legal to rest easy and make it in the top 30. (was sitting in 6th before Bemidji)
Any idea when I might get “the call” to see if I want to participate?
No spottors just co anglers fishing also, you would have to fish the season next year and hope to qualify, meet the pros TEAM J SQUARED I heard will be handing out autographs
Len, “the call” often comes late….like the week before the event. At least that’s how it worked the last time I was close.
I really wish they would fill the field as early as possible. This year, with Michigan still going through qualifiers in the third week of August, “the calls” will not be made until well into September. But that’s just a guess.
My guess is that at 33, you’ll get the call. I got called last time around when I was 36 or 38 on the boater side, but I declined to go.
You may be able to hook up with a boater for some prefishing even though you can’t get in the tournament.
Post your availablity on a few fishing sites and I bet you’ll get a few boaters looking for an extra few lines in the boat.
Len, I would say you’re in at 33. Two years ago I got a call at 42 as a co and last year I made the top 30 and got in. I bet they’ll be going down the list on the boater side too.
Good luck to everyone fishing!
I will also be there as a boater. Finished 23rd for the season. Like you Jason boated the first fish with a big sigh.
See you at Wissota
