My Initial Thoughts: ‘09 & ‘10 Elite Series Schedule

The schedule has just been released, but here are my initial thoughts after looking over the 2009 & 2010 Elite Series schedule for the first time.
Gas prices seem to effecting not only the anglers, but BASS as well. There are an awful lot of tournaments scheduled to take place in Alabama as well as very near Classics for the next three years.
Many locations on the schedule are seemingly becoming too repetitive. There are a handful of guys who are becoming extremely familiar with some of the particular bodies of water. What will be interesting is to see how the catch rates or the dynamics of some of these bodies of water change over the next couple of years.
Overall, the schedule looks as though it should continue to appeal to most of the fans and surely the anglers with continued big catches and exciting finishes. Most shocking to me though is the fact that the Elite series will not be visiting Florida for the next two years.
The thing that most bothers me about the BASS schedules is how they cannot seem to adopt the standard 2 character state codes that everyone else in the world use… LOL!!!
It’s funny you say that. As I was putting together the post I had to stop and try to remeber some of the state codes. Arkansas and Alaska get me everytime.
