TTZ has been approached to run a Central Texas division of a larger statewide trail in 2011 and would like to gather some feedback from you all.

Here are the basics:

- $30 membership fee
- $150 entry per tournament
- 90% payback of entry fees BEFORE prizes/giveaways
- 100% Big Bass sidepot
- No mandatory meetings

Based on the released Bass Champs Central and South schedules, we will fish four regular season events on the following dates:

Feb 19
Mar 26
Apr 16
May 28

If everything pans out, a three division Championship (North, East and Central) will be held sometime in October with the top prize a Nitro Z7 on a lake TBD.  Fish 3 out of 4 events to qualify.

We'd like to keep this trail "Austin" based and the lakes guaranteed to be in the schedule (in no particular order) are:

Travis, Austin, LBJ

What we need to know is if there would be enough interest to sustain another trail (30-50 boats per tournament) and if you could pick your "dream" schedule of lakes what would they be? If possible we'd like to avoid Belton and Stillhouse and have tossed around Buchanan and Choke for the fourth lake.

Also, would you guys prefer to fish a "local" Championship for cash at the end of the year instead of travelling to win a boat?  We are all about giving back to the anglers and designing a schedule based on angler feedback so please let us know what you think.

Thanks!
