BASS Announces 2011 Bassmaster Opens Schedule

BASS Announced the 2011 Bassmaster Open Schedule a few days ago and I was really surprised with some of the venues.  The mixed it up a little and it looks much different than year's past.  I had a feeling they would start in Florida again, and they will, just at Toho instead of Okeechobee.  I also liked seeing Lake Norman on the schedule, but I have never heard of Douglas Lake in TN.  If I decide to fish these, I'm going to have to start doing my research soon.
