I'm still home and I don't think I will be attending the Table Rock tournament. I called FLW to pay my entry fee last week and they informed me that because I had missed the deadline for paying balances they had given my spot away to someone else. I can't blame them; I missed the due date without realizing it. A miscommunication has seemingly ruined my whole season in the FLW Tour. I am first on the waiting list to get into the tournament, but I don't think I'll get in. At this point all balances have been paid and someone would have to be willing to give up $800 not to fish. I could travel out there and hope for the best, but that would cost about $1,000 and I may not even get to fish. I can't risk that money gambling on someone not showing up. If someone cancels before the meeting I will jump in my truck and drive out there; otherwise I won't be fishing. Unfortunately if I miss this tournament I will have no chance at winning Co-angler of the year and it will be difficult to even make the championship. I've paid all my deposits for the rest of the year so this does not happen again; the damage has already been done though. It's hard for me to accept that so early in the year my season is already over.
