Guys,

I have been on the phone all morning and afternoon, calling all those that have registered for the upcoming Won Bass Lake Oroville Pro/Am this coming Feb 2-3. I will continue to call until every angler has been reached, but in the mean time I wanted to try and reach others that have not signed up yet and are either on the fence or dealing with Super Bowl issue.

I did not expect this year to be the year the 49ers made it to the Big Game! I am happy for those that are fans, but trying to make thing work as best as possible for the event as well.

Please take a moment to reply to the Poll as your input is greatly appreciated. Out of the many calls that I have made so far....99% of the Pro's and AAA's are in favor of the switch. The DFG is closed today for Martin Luther King Day, so I can not find out officially until tomorrow morning if the dates can be switched.

Thank you for your participation....

Guys,

Please we are looking for your input and are giving you a voice here with this POLL. Over 60 views with only 2 people entering... Come on guys! This is for your benefit! I personally made over 80 calls this morning....and everyone is on board with this so far!

I'm not going to I'm not responding to the poll; but I did look.

I'm in favor of the change but will be there either way. Thanks

shouldnt just the guys fishing the tourney vote ? if i was fishing it i would want to change the date..

IM fishing so my vote is change to fri and sat.

I really couldnt care about some retarded football game, but given the choice, i will go with the Friday and Saturday. I loose one day pre-fish if this is the what the majority decides.

Kane-o

I personally called every pre registered angler, both on the Pro and AAA side, and everyone was in favor of the change or not effected either way. I appreciate everyone's positive reaction towards what I feel is the right decision. Once I confirm with the DFG tomorrow, we will make the official announcement.

I had to pull out of FLW Oroville but am able to fish this one, and will. I cringed when I saw it was Superbowl Sunday and wont be pre-fishing anyway, so I'm for moving the dates if possible.

Can you share a boat count at this point?

How cool of a weekend is this goings to be for a northern California bass angler / football fan. Good call!

I'm a life-long 49er fan but I'l take fishing over sitting at home watching the "boob tube" any day! See ya at Oroville guys!

So will those of us who were not contacted who put down a deposite get a full refund of our deposite if we can't make it?

So what is the boat count , because field size determines pay back?

There are more repsonses to the pole (36) than there are boats registered for the tourney.

Boy good buddy, lesson learned I bet. I block out that weekend a few months out so I don't schedule any photo classes then, as the Super Bowl is the high holy day of the USA, no matter who is in the playoff. Just better to always work around that weekend, seems to me (although personally, I rather go bass fishing).
