Congrats to all the tubers for their fine representation at the BASS Shasta event!
The non-boater winner is a bud of mine from the Santa Clara Bass Classics (Izz Byrd). Guess he'll be a boater from now on (in his new boat that he won)!
Russ S. is also in 25th place overall for the Non-Boater Western Division...way to go!

Hey great job guys! Makes guys like my self very jealous. I am really intrested in fishing one of these opens or Pro/ams as a "Non-boater". Unfortunitly, funds are the deciding factor to wether I can make the trip to one or not. Can you give me an idea of the cost to fish one of these?...Lodging, entry fees etc..

The BASS Opens are $400 for non-boaters, FLW Everstart is $250. If you can split a hotel room & figure 3 nights, it will cost around $60, maybe a little more. You also should share gas expenses with your pro, which runs $30-40/day. So, as you can see, unless you get a top 10 finish, it's a little tough to break even. It is a great learning experience, exciting, & you have a chance to win a boat.
