2010 Bassmaster Opens Schedule

Bassmaster just released their schedule for the 2010 Bassmaster Opens. The Southern Opens are going to start off on my new "home lake", Lake Okeechobee. I really like the schedule for the Southern Division as they are all fairly close to home. We'll see how many of these I'll get to fish. You can read about all of the venues at Bassmaster.com

"As in 2009, the Opens will feature an all-cash payout for pros. The payout will be based on 175 boats and will adjust to the actual field size. Pros will compete for more than $175,000 in cash, with the winner receiving $45,000. Co-anglers will continue to compete at the Open level for more than $70,000 in cash and merchandise, including the top prize of a boat/motor package valued at $34,000." Bassmaster.com
