Well another season has come and gone. I would like to thank all of the teams that choose to fish The Fishing Crew Team Tournament Trail. (THANK YOU!!!). On October 8th & 9th we will be holding the finial event of the season at West
Prairie Resort. This is going to be one exciting event you can count on that! The Team of the Year race is so tight its any one ball game. (see attachment for standings)
The Fishing Crew LLC, Would also ask all of the Anglers to make sure you thank the sponsor who make it possible for us to hold the tournaments for you guys, droop them a thank you or and email(see www.thefishingcrew.com for the list) I truly believe the only way TFCTTT will continue to grow is from the fishermen telling the sponsors how much the trail means to you. I can talk till I am blue in the face about how great I feel the trail is, but until they here from those of you that spend the money on products, its just me sucking oxygen out of the room.(you know how good I am at that). Well enough of my poor writing skills. Lets get to the information you need to compete in the championships.

Please find below photos from the Championship recently held at Bush’s Landing and West Prairie Resort on Lake Oahe. This was the final event of the 2011 Season and a good season it was. We did not fill every Tournament, but did see some very positive growth and that is all we can expect. Look forward to seeing some changes made for next year that will make this circuit even more accommodating for anglers of all skill and experience levels as well as being more conducive for anglers with smaller boats. We want this to be a Circuit that has stiff but friendly competition in which any participant can have an equally good shot at winning. Remember, this is a one day shootout and this format allows any team putting together a good basket to walk away with some very impressive prize money for a quite minimal investment in entry fees and expenses.
