I know alot of you are tournament followers and this stuff is old hat for you folks, but....I'm in LaCrosse.

I don't care what the paper reports...there were alot more than 1500 there THURSDAY morning for launch. And weigh in....flat out CRAZY! These nuts from LaCrosse are FUNATICS! Every boat launch within 20 miles was full from boaters out to follow the pro's. That was THURSDAY! wait till the weekend.
But for those members of BASS, have you ever seen a better (prettier) location. Check the on water photos, forget the angler and check out the backgrounds. Nature at it's best.

A few little insights. You see the little boat house (white) in photos from launch....those sell for $50,000 plus. Gets better. The DNR has prohibited these type of dwellings but the current owners can stay but if they sell it has to be removed. They limit improvements because if they fall apart...they must remove them. So if the owner dies and/or wants to leave to family, legal. Wants to sell to me , illegal. So needless to say the extended familes in LaCrosse have increased over the years.

Anyway my kids mom owns one. They were renting them out for over $1000 a night, most have NO plumbing. Crazy hu? Her's thru very strict and almost scary back door bargaining is very very nice, flat screen, plumbing ect. Her hubby was offered $2500 dollars for the weekend...he declined.

They don't fish and they won't go anywhere that crowded. Got to go thru launch site to get to the boathouses. Ya I'm still working on him.

He's balking and we get along well....so my guess is one of the Pros are staying thier and he promised secrecy. he's a man of his word. Oh I should mention that the launch is actually on the Black River, not the Mississippi.
My only delemia is...I'd rather be fishing at day break as opposed to watching others going out to fish.

So my tourney participation is probably going to be limited...cause I'm going fishing!

Oh I added a link to the Lacrosse paper for those of you who want to read more local coverage.
